CULTURE OF THE MUSHROOM
Particular Work That Many Have
Tried and FaiIed-caves or Gel
lars Are Best Suited.

While there is no mystery about
growing mushrooms, it is such par.
ticular work that many have tried
and failed. After the beds are planted
it Is almost entirely a question OF
right conditions of temperature and
moisture. knowledge of what is
wanted and a careful touch are re.
quired.
The preparation of the beds also
requires skill which comes from ex.
perience in handling manure Sew
eral weeks are needed to properly mix
and rot the material and it must be
done in warm weather, or in a warm
room. Caves or cellars are right
places for this work and the winter
is the best time. 1t is easier to keep
them warm enough than to keep them
cool enough in summer.

The Winning Power.

Christian arguments and appeals, re-
enforced by the power of Christian ex-
emple, are most persuasive, and bring
many into the freedom of che Chris
tian life. We should have more faith
In the power Of appeals conveyed In
the pulpits and In the religious press.
But, best of all, whenever true word
is spoken for Jesus Christ, an ally Of
the truth appears in the Spirit of God
working upon the minds Of those who
hear, and the ultimate explanation Of
the fact that many are being led back
to religion is found in the unspeakable
yearning OF the Holy Spirit, and in
his tender and constant work in win
ming the wills of errant men to an ac-
ceptance Of the duties OF the only ra-
tional existence that is possible for
mantle life that is hid with Christ
in God. In view Of this great outreach-
ing and uplifting love of God for men.
we should not be surprised that multi
tudes are being drawn back to religion,
while at the same time we ought never
to intermit prayerful and earnest eff
fort to reach with the gospel those
who so greatly need its quickening
and sustaining power. -Zion's Herald

AS has already been said, the An
CORA can be bred sufficiently pure for
practical purposes from the stock al
ready in this country and there is
no need of further importations for
breeding purposes. Some years ago,
however, this was not believed to be
the case and in 1881 the sultan of Tur-
key endeavored to preserve for his
dominions the monopoly of the mohair
trade by prohibiting the expectation
of the live animal. His example was
followed by South Africa, but it was
too late. Some of the best blood was

mated that 100000 pounds of mohair

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31.- Any good soil if properly worked will produce satisfactory sugar beets. provided the climatic conditions are favorable. Besides being well drain ed, the soil should be able to hold sufficient amount of moisture Even the so-called muck soils will produce good beets if they are well drained and properly worked. These facts are emphasized in a new bulletin is- sued by the United tSates Depart ment of Agriculture entitled "Su- gar Beet Growing Under Humid Con- ditions"
 The new bulletin, which may be had free on application to the de- partment, recommends the following measures to beet growers:
 Select the field for sugar beets with reference to the quality of the surface and subsoils, the conditions of drainage, and their fitness to fol- low the preceding crop. Flow thoroughly and deeply in the fall if possible. Make the seed bed firm below as well as near the surface Plant in the spring as soon as the soil and weather conditions are right Use plenty of seed to insure a good stand, and do not plant too deep. Hold the moisture in contact with the seed by the use of the press wheels and the roller Cultivate as soon as the rows can be seen, but do not throw the dirts over the beets.
 Block and thin the beets just as soon as they are large enough to handle
 1 Space with reference to the strength and moisture holding capacity of the soil.
 In thinning, aim to leave the strongest and best beets. i Rotate with other crops to improve the soil condition and to eliminate pests.
 Keep plenty of live stock to utilize the beet tops and other feed to SUD- ply stable manure.
 In harvesting the beets see that l they are dll SdlHeleu, piopciiy up ped and as free as possible from dirt.
 Cover the beets as soon as topped , to prevent evaporation. Utilize beet tops, pulp, and lime with a view to improving soil condi- l tions.
 For the retention of sufficient mois- 1 ture for crop production the supply , of humus plays an important part A soil that is well drained and al the same time properly supplied witf humus will not only hold enough moisture for the needs of the plants but it will permit the air to circulate through it and enable the soil or l ganisms to thrive and multiply thereby liberating an abundance o1 plant food.
 The nature of the sub-soil has ar important bearing upon the selection
 of soil for sugar beet growing. Hard pan sub-soils should be avoided, es-
 pecially if they are so near the sur
 face that they will interfere with tho proper growth and development of tht
 roots. Likewise, the very porou:
 or gravelly sub-soils will not give
 the best results with sugar beets In general, if a soil has been pro ducing good crops of corn, potatoes
 etc, it will produce good beets pro-
 vided it receives the proper prepara. tion and cultivation. In selecting

WORTH KNOWING

Out of every $100 received by the railroads, $40.S0 is paid to the em- ployes thereof; out of every s1O0 paid for expenses, $62 goes as wages If it is considered that practically all of the remaining s3S of expenses is used in purchasing material and supplies, and that a large percentage of the cost of these represents wages. it is safe to estimate that not less than so per cent of the expenses of the railroads is money paid directly or indirectly to labor.-Milwaukee Free Press.
