MUSHROOM growing is one of the
ington, as we'll as all other cities,
and interesting stories are told of the
financial results of this peculiar kind Of
farming. 1t appears that there is a
large demand for mushrooms, which will
increase as the people come back from
the seashore and mountains and take up
the burden Of entertaining in their homes
The fact is course dinner is not usually
complete without mushrooms in some
form, and the marketmen are sometimes
driven to their wits end to supply the de-
mand. Numerous private growers Of
mushrooms have lately met with good
success, If the stories told around Center
market are to be believed.
The abandoned watts of a brewing .estab-
lishment in the northwest section are re-
ported to have been transformed into beds
for mushroom growing, with almost as
good profits as were formerly realized
from the beer. Several have ma, use of
their back yards for the purpose. with
satisfactory results. The mushrooms are
easily grown, the yield is prolific and their
sale good.
According to the figures given by a
dealer at the market, a f1fteen-foot bed
will grow about ninety pecks OF, market
able mushrooms. The cost of the bed Is
about S. The growers receive 70 cents a
peck for the best and 90 cents peck for
the second grade. the size and quality de-

TASK OF REMAINING THE NAVY.
A Sort of Nightmare to the Navy
Department.

FROM the Scientific American.
Ever since the question of having an
addition 10 our navy has been brought
up by the Secretary Of the Maryland
there seems TO be no reason why there
should not be an addition-the Navy
Department has been put TO il to find
suitable names for the new vessels
When the first so-called white squad
ron came out the ships We're named
after the different states and cities.
and the practice has been followed ever
since. Nevada and the territory of
Oklahoma are the only states whose
names are not already applied 10 naval
vessels. and all except these have their
names applied 10 first-class battleships
or large armored cruisers, except the
New York and Texas.
The New York was brought out in
1893. is Of comparative small size
and is now being made ready 10 be sent
10 Manila for service flagship of the
class battleship, now OF obsolete type
and was brought out in 1892.
When Congress made an appropria-
tion to build new battleships. and the
question Of naming them came up for
consideration, IL was proposed 10
change the name of the New York
which was christened after the city OF
that name. 10 Manhattan, and 10 call
one OF the new battleships by the name
OF New York. Such change. however
involved many difficulties. which the
Navy Department did not see its way
clear TO meet. The latest suggestion
that has been made a. 10 the naming
Of the new battleships is TO rename
the old Texas and give that name &c
one OF them.
IL is appreciated that this would meet
the approval OF Texans who. repre-
sentinG the largest state in the Union
would without doubt like 10 have the
name OF their state given 10 one OF the
new - OO0-ton battleships in the place
OF the present Texas, which is Of only
S3I5 tons and which is now relegated
10 the receiving ship service.
The remaining Of our ships OF war
has always been "A sort OF nightmare "a
the department. for upon the nearing
completion OF new ship the depart
ment has been deluged with requests
from senators and members TO have
the ship named for their individual
state or city.
IL is always the rule that there shall
be no two ships of the same name. but
there is nothing 10 prevent the Navy
Department from using name sec
ond time This Is borne out by the fact
that within the last ten years the WORD
Maine has been used twice. first on a
vessel unhappily destroyed in Havana
harbor and now on battleshlp

DRINKING WATERWITH MEALS
Reasons for Thinking Old Objections
to the Usage Unsound.
From the New York Medical Journal.

From the New York Medical Journal.
Not long ago IL was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
Of drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals. on the. ground that
the gastric juice was thereby diluted and
that digestion was impaired and delayed
This opinion Is still held by many physi-
clans and Is the pet hobby of a great
many diet cranks and quacks-profes-
sional and amateur. On the other hand.
there have been many who believed that
an appetite as widely distributed as the
desire TO drink at the time OF eating, an
appetite seen in so many animals as well
as In man, was perfectly safe guide
TO trust. and that IL was obviously a pro-
vision of nature to supply water which
was needed at this time. Recent expert
mental evidence seems to confirm the lat
ter view. The work of Foster and Lam
bert journal OF Experimental Medicine,
1905 p. 500 has shown that water Is a
distinct stimulant to the gastric mucosa,
and that instead Of the presence of water
I'm the stomach resulting in a dilute gas
trio juice IL, on the other hand, occa-
sions the secretion of a juice of higher
concentration than under ordinary cir
cumstances.

The marketman said good cellar was
the best place to raise mushrooms. He
said the things necessary to success were
few. First the cellar in which they are
to be grown must be kept at a tempera-
ture of about 63 degrees, and should be
well ventilated. and arrangements should
be made to have the soil moist.
Good fertilizer rich in phosphate must
be used to form the foundation of the
bed. which will be built preferably upon a
dirt floor. Two loads are necessary for q
bed fifteen feet long. The mushroom
spawn can be procured in the shape OF
bricks from the florists and nurserymen
The temperature of the bed must be test
ed, and no planting must be done until II
is below ~ degrees. Then the bricks can
be broken in half-inch pieces and dis
tributed evenly over the bed.
In eight or ten days a white thread
like growth will begin to appear. and
when this is noticed the bed must be COW
cred to the depth of one-half to three
quarters of an inch with sandy loam
The beds are built in conical shape. start
ing from a base about three feet wide
and building up to about two. and half
feet high. with width Of about ten
inches on top. \ frame of six-inch
boards may be. used TO keep the bed in
place.
