Mrs. Patterson's dictum in regard to
mushrooms may be considered as the
highest appeal. for her experience
with them has occupied a number of
years of research and she is an author
ity on the subject. She has written a
bulletin which will soon be published
by the department. 1t will contain new
recipes for canning mushrooms and
preparing them in various dishes for

the European war might have an un-

She recommends a reliable one which
promises to aid mushroom growers in

Among the recipes she has assembled
ones which she has formulated. These
she indorses as being perfectly d.

LAS every one knows who is inter-

fertilization. II seems that. owing to
the Increased price of grain. horses
