| fective mushrooms should invariably
be thrown out. Mushrooms should be
treated as Il first grade product in ey-
cry way, and therefore the package
must be made an attractive one. Ship
ment should be made in boxes Of
sizes demanded by the trade Baskets
afford excellent ventilation, yet boxes
are sometimes preferred.
The prices paid for mushrooms in
American markets are unusually vuri-
able. Perhaps it is fair to say that
one should consider from 80 to 80
cents per pound good average price.
| In many cities or towns 80 cents would
be as much as could be obtained. On
! the other hand, a price Of 75 cents is
frequently paid. The quotation OF one
dollar or more is not to be expected.

mushrooms such prices are paid to
retailers by the fancy trade and dur

sons. The grower may well look for

demands will support a generous sup
ply at a constant but fair price.

bed may come into bearing within six
weeks. 1t usually requires, however Il
longer period, and eight weeks may
more nearly represent the average
conditions. If the conditions have been
variable. and especially if at times a
very low temperature has prevailed.
bearing may be still further delayed.
Again, the period of production or the
profitable life" Of a successful bed
may vary greatly, ranging from five
weeks to as many months. As rule,
bed which produces fine, neavy
mushrooms will bear longer than one
which yields plants of lighter weight.
Many growers think that there is
profit in Il bed which yields one-half
pound per square foot of surface area.
One should not be satisfied with less
than this, and If the best conditions
prevail this yield is far below what
should be obtained.

temperature will begin to fall, the
violence of decomposition will begin
to show a subsidence, and the compost
will be ready for the construction of
the beds. The bacteria of rapid decay
will become less and less abundant,
and finally, when the beds are pre-
pared as subsequently described, the
spawn will be able to grow in spite OF
the bacteria present.
Mushroom beds are of two general
types (D the fiat bed, and (2) the
ridge bed known as the French type.
In making the former the entire floor
space may be utilized as a bed, or the
beds may be arranged in the form of
tiers or shelves. In low cellars or
caves and indeed wherever the amount
of floor space is not the most impor-
tant consideration, it would be we'll to
avoid the use of shelves, but where
the amount of floor space is an impor-
tant factor they may be adopted to
advantage, although the additional la
Dor involved in the growing of crop
under such conditions as an item to be
considered. When shelves are used
one should be careful to whitewash
these after each crop in order to avoid
the increased danger from insect dep
relations. In any case, fiat beds
should be made from s to 10 inches
deep.
Ridge beds enable one to get a
somewhat greater surface space in
given area, but they are also more ex-
pensive so far as the labor of construc-
tion is concerned. Nevertheless, they
are very desirable.
When a bed is in full bearing, the
mushrooms should be gathered at least
once in two days, and it is well to
pick them every day, particularly if
the temperature is up to 60 degrees
Fahrenheit or more. Picking is itself
an art, and the intelligent grower will
soon find that the yield of a bed may
be greatly lessened by lack of judg-
ment in picking. TO satisfy the gem
eral demands Of our markets at the

may be greatly extended.
Cellars are very commonly used In
producing mushrooms for family use.
Natural or artificial caves are of the
first importance, however for com
mercial work, since the situation Of
these below the surface will best In
sure a temperature throughout almost
the entire year more or less close to
that which Is desired.
In the growing of mushrooms for
commercial purposes, the beds should

has been feumented or composted.
Many experiments have been made
looking toward the substitution Of
other composts or waste products for
stable manure, but nothing has yet
been found which may bc more highly
recommended. Fresh manure should
be obtained, and this should include
the litter used for bedding the ami
mails, unless the latter consists Of
coarse weeds. II Is great mistake,
In a commercial way, to attempt 20

stable manure which has been we'll

The manure should be piled in heaps

In the course of four or five days or n

The most gigantic, devastat-

conflict have done so only by
the most careful diplomacy,
based upon a settled determine
