room production in such structures 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 be constructed of stable manure which has been fermented or compested. 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 be more highly recommended Fresh manure should be obtained. and this should include the litter used for bedding the ani- malls, unless the latter consists of coarse weeds. It is Il great mistake, in commercial way. C attempt to use manure free from straw. Again, stable manure which has been well trampled is nearly always well pre- served, and Is frequently much richer than any other kind.
 The manure should be piled in heaps about three feet deep when well pressed down with the fork, and these piles may be of considerable extent. It should be watered until well moist ened throughout, but not drenehed. In the course of four or five days or week it will be necessary to fork over or turn" the manure. A second turn ing will be required usually in from seven to ten days, and It may be neces- sary to water again If the material has suffered considerable drying out. If well pressed down and merely moist, the manure will not burn, and, more over, there will be no tendency for n sour fermentation to become estab- lished. In from b to 21 days, depending upon the conditions. the

What is there that is ridiculous about the earlier photographs? It Is not easy to say. They tell us truthfully great deal about those who are separated from us by a small space of time and an immense expanse of change.

IF THE occupation of Ruanda, Ger

 from the Congo. and their estab- x lishment of a provisional govern ment in this territory prove to be per manent Belgium will possess the most densely populated as well as one of the most fertile and salubrious terri tories of central Africa, says buile- tin of the National Geographic society.
 Ruanda lies to the east of Lake Kivu, through which runs the bound- ary line between the Upper Congo re- zion and the German possessions. To the north lies British East Africa. The kagera river, also known IS the Alex andra Nile, flowing in irregular S shape, east, north and west, and empty ing into Lake Victoria Nyanza. is the eastern boundary.
 While there are two considerable tracts of forest in Ruanda. the central portioD of the territory is bare of trees, but on the mountain slopes there Is to be found wonderfully rich grass, on which graZe magnificent herds of cattle that constitute the chief wealth of the natives. The agricultural poss- bilities of the region are almost unlim- ited.
 One of the most striking advantages of this territory is it's high altitude, an average of nearly d mile above sea ievel, so that. although it lies under an equatorial sun, the temperature is usually about the same as that of a warm summer day in central Europe, Ma1arial mosquitoes are not known here, nor does the dread tsetse-gy hoy CT over the land. bringing sleeping sickness to human beings and quicker death to cattle.
 Contrasts in the Natives.
 Two remarkable contrasts are to be found among the natives of this re- zion. The highly developed. intelli- gent Watussi are magnificent physical specimens. 1.-the, well-proportioned and athletic.

Cold is less injurious to mushroom beds than heat The for mer renders the bed for a time unpro- ductive; but the latter stimulates the spawn to too rapid growth, which is usually followed by the production of unsalable mushrooms, or by the even tual death of the spawn, supposedly by damping off.
 Mushrooms may often be grown in very simply constructed shed or un- used barn which will provide against any sudden changes of the tempera- ture, and when it is possible to employ artificial heat the season for mush-

Predicts Hiaher Prices.

With the increase in the price of ma terials more reports circulate that the next change in the price of automo- piles will be upward. The advance in the price of high-speed steels is one of the factors, having gone up from 45 cents pound to S3: 1t is also getting harder to obtain, according to manu- lecturers. The sales manager of one of the automobile companies predicts that the announcements of next July will show q number of increases in the price of standard makes of cars.

spawn masses adhering and add fresh loam.
 As they are picked, the mushrooms are put into shallow baskets and taken to a sorting and packing table. The stems are cut off and any adhering loam is brushed from the cap. 1t Is true that mushrooms keep somewhat better if the stub Is left attached and the loam removed by rubbing, but ex- cept in special cases this procedure is not to be recommended. It is not nec- essary to cut the stem off short, but the market demands that there shall be few long shanks.
 For the best trade 1t is desirable to sort" the mushrooms, placing only those of nearly the same size in the same packages. It is certainly not well to pack together "broilers' and buttons, if this can be avoided. De
