HOME is THE PLACE TO TEACH
MANNERS TO THE CHILDREN

So much is said to the child about
what he must do and be when he goes
out to visit-so little in comparison
with what he must do and be at home.
Yet nowhere is the very inner spirit
of the family more evidenced than when
the members of it congregate about the
table.
The amount of genuine culture a fam
lily has probably shows more distinctly
at table than in any other one place.
If it We're necessary to sum up the
members of a family at a glance, no.
where would 1t be possible to find them
with more accuracy and less affectation
than gathered unconsciously about the

Mushroom culture, growing in popu-
larity every year, furnishes successful
money-making occupation for the woman
who cannot leave her own home, and
who yet feels the necessity OF helping
financially.
The conditions under which mush-
rooms may be successfully grown are
limited, and intelligent attention is there
fore essential 1t must be said, more
over, that the majority of failures may
be directly traced to erroneous ideas as
to the cultural requisites. or to reck-
less disregard of conditions. Failures
are usually due to one or more of the
following causes: % Poor spawnS G)
very poor manure; 81 unfavorable tenn
perature; and "a heavy watering during
the early stages of growth.
Under favorable conditions mushrooms
may be grown with assurance OF success.
Temperature and Moisture.
Mushrooms may be grown in any place
where the conditions Of temperature and
moisture are favorable. A shed. cellar,
cave or vacant space in a greenhouse
may be utilized to advantage for this
purpose The most essential factor,
perhaps, is that of temperature. The
proper temperature ranges from 50 de-
grees to 60 degrees F., with the best
from 50 to IS degrees F. 1t is unsafe
to attempt to grow mushrooms on a COM
mercial basis, according to our present
knowledge of the subject, at temper
ature much less than so degrees or
greater than 63 degrees F.

MUSHROOM CUL LTURE IS REM UNERATIVE
OCCUPATION FOR THE HOME WOMAN

Any severe changes Of temperature re-
tard growth. or else act injuriously. and
many changes of temperature would en-
tirely destroy the profits Of the mush-
room crop. From this 1t is evident that
in many places mushrooms may not be
grown as a summer crop. With arti-
fetal heat they may be grown almost
anywhere throughout the winter.
1t is very probable that the exact tenn
perature which may be considered an
optimum will vary somewhat in different
sections of the country. 1t will be noted
later in detail that the temperature
factor acts not so directly upon the
growth of the spawn or the production
of mushrooms as indirectly to render
some other conditions of the environ
ment injurious. 1t is best to consider
that in practice the optimum temper
ature for mushroom growing varies from
SO degrees to IS degrees F.
1t was soon definitely asCertained that
the conditions of pure culture growth are
essentially different from those attend
ing the growth Of mushroom spawn in
the bed. This was perhaps best indicated
by comparing spawn grown in pots at S.
degrees Fahrenheit under impure condi-
tions with similar spawn grown at 50
degrees Fahrenheit. At the former tenn
perature, even though the conditions Of
moisture were properly maintained, there
was little or no growth. Foreign fungi,
mOldS and bacteria. as well as insects,
were. however. abundant.
At the lower temperature there was
little or no evident appearance OF other
fungi molds, or insects: yet the mush-
room spawn grows slowly and continu-

maintained. From numerous experiments
OF this nature, II is apparent that the
temperature relation is one which is
governed by the competition to which
the mushroom spawn is subject in the
bed. This is, Of course, wholly in &C
cord with the results obtained from the
study of the relative growth made by
mushroom spawn in fresh and composted
manure.
Moisture Important.
The direct effect of a temperature above
the optimum upon the sporophores Is
manifest through lengthening Of the
stipes and rapid expansion of the caps,
ordinarily accompanied by toughne~s and
decreased size. In other words, the lower
grade market product is produced at the
higher temperature.
The moisture factor is also one Of i'm
portance. 1t is undesirable that the place
in which mushrooms are grown should
be very damp. or dripping with water.
Nevertheless, a fairly moist condition Of
the atmosphere should be maintained
throughout the growing apd productive
period. There should be a gradual, but
slight evaporation from the surface OF
the beds and sufficient ventilation to in
sure this is believed to be essential 1t
is certain that in poorly ventilated caves
mushrooms do not succeed. On the other
hand. in a dry atmosphere, or exposed to

Green Soap shampoo.

Green soap is a splendid shampoo aid,
as are also the yoIks of eggs. The wo-
man who washes her own hair should be
very careful to rinse out all the egg or
soap. or she will find her hair in worse
condition than before she washed it.
Never use hard water in the shampoo.
The blond who wishes. to keep her hair
from darkening may use boraX, am
monia, or washing soda in the shampoo
water. a tablespoonful of either to a
gallon of water is sufficient as more will
drv the hair and make it brittle. The
Juice of half a lemon and one teaspoon
full of salts of tartar added to the first
water of the shampoo will brighten
blond hair.
The woman who discovers that her hair
is falling out should begin remedial ef-
forts Immediately. Delay is fatal.
Scalp massage is the best thing in the

How often should the hair be sham

Women whose hair is naturally dry
