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 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 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 be 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. 1t is a great mistake,

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.
1t should be watered until well moist
ened throughout, but not drenched.
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 a
sour fermentation to become estab-
lished. In from Is to 81 days,

temperature will begin TO fall, the
to show a subsistence, and tie compost
win 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 Q 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
tant consideration, it would be well 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 a
given area, but they are also more ex-
pensive so far as the labor of construc-
ton is concerned. Nevertheless, they
are very desirable.
When q 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 gen
eral demands of our markets at the

Pastures.

fective mushrooms should invariably
be thrown out Mushrooms should be
treated as first-grade product in ev-
cry way, and therefore the package
must be made an attractive one. Ship
ment shopld 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 vari-
able. Perhaps it is fair to say that
one should consider from 35 to so
cents per pound a 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 rs cents is
frequently paid. The quotation of one
dollar or more is not to be expected.
1t is true that for @ fine grade Of
mushrooms such prices are paid to
retailers by the fancy trade and dur
ing special seasons or for special occa-
slons. The grower may well look for
the time, however, when the market
demands will support generous sup
ply at a constant but fair price
Under favorable circumstances
bed may come into bearing within six
weeks. 1t usually requires, however, a
longer period, and eight weeks may
more nearly represent the average
conditions. If the conditions have been
variable, and especially if at times
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 a rule,
a 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 a bed which yields one-half
pound per square foot of surface area.
one should not be satisfied with less
than this, and il the best conditions
prevail this yield is far below what
should be obtained.

of temperature and moisture be best
regulated. 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
unstable 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 I'M
used barn which will provide against
any sudden changes of the tempera-
ture. anc when it is possible to employ

How Cultivate Mushrooms

present time it is not recommended to-
take the buttons; yet if there is a.
fancy trade for these it should be met.
Little or no gain of weight occurs in,
the mushroom, however, after the veil
begins to break, so that the mush-
rooms should not be left after this
time. Flat tops are third-grade ar
ticle, but these, as well as all defec-
tive mushrooms, should be sedulously
removed from the bed every day.
In picking, grasp the mushroom by
the cap Ga large one by both cap and
stem), twisting it to remove it easily
from the soil. Where the mushrooms
come up in large united clusters, it
will be best to cut them, in order not
to disturb the mycelial connections of
all. Some good growers practice "cut-
ting" throughout, but the stubs must
decay and are a source of danger.
After all good mushrooms from clus-
ter have been taken, remove any fleShy

spawn masses adhering and add fresh
loan.
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
lean is brushed from the cap. 1t is
true that mushrooms keep somewhat
better if the stub is left attached and
the loan removed by rubbing, but ex-
cept in special cases this procedure is
not to be recommended. 1t is not nee
essary to cut the stem off short, but
the market demands that there shall
be few long shanks.
For the best trade it is desirable to
"sort" the mushrooms, placing only
those of nearly the same size in the
same packages. 1t is certainly not
well to pack together "broilers" and
buttons, if this can be avoided. De

terest has been shown in the United
States in the growth of mushrooms
within the past few years, and 1t is to
be hoped and expected that within the
next ten years the industry will de-
velop to the fullest limit of the mar
ket demands. The latter will, OF
course, be stimulated and developed
by the increasing popular appreciation
Of this product. In some cities ana
towns there is already a good market
demand for mushrooms, while in 9TH
ers they may be sold only directly to
special customers. This should be
borne in mind by prospective growers.
Success in mushroom growing de-
ponds on intelligent study of condi-
lions and on experience. While many
American growers have been success
full in the production of mushrooms, n
much larger number have failed. In
most cases failures have been due to
one or more of the following causes:
% The use of poor spawn, or of
spawn which has been killed by i'm
proper storage.
(2) Spawning at a temperature in
juriOusly high.
90 The use of too much water
either at the time of spawning or later.
"a Unfavorable temperature dur
ing the growing period.
Mushrooms may be grown in any
place where the conditions of tempera-
ture and moisture are favorable. A
shed, cellar, cave or vacant space in
a greenhouse may be utilized to adj
vantage for this purpose. The most
essential factor, perhaps, is that of
temperature. The proper temperature
ranges from 50 degrees to 60 degrees
Fahrenheit, with the best from 80 de-
grees to So degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is
unsafe to attempt to grow mushrooms
our present knowledge of the subject,
at a temperature much less than so
degrees or greater than 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. Any severe changes of
temperature retard growth or else act
injuriously, and many changes of tenn

profits of the mushroom crop. From
this it is evident that in many places
mushrooms may not be grown as a
summer crop. With artificial heat they
may be grown almost anywhere
throughout the winter, Moreover, it
is very probable that in this country
open-air culture must be limited to a
few sections, and restricted, CONNER
cially at least, to single season.
A second important factor is that
of moisture. The place should not be
very damp, or constantly dripping
with water. Under such conditions
successful commercial work is not pos
sible. A place where it is possible to
maintain a fairly moist condition of
the atmosphere, and having such
capability for ventilation as will cause
at least a gradual evaporation is, by
general practice and by the most ex-
tensive experimentation, shown to be
necessary. With too rapid ventilation
and the consequent necessity of re-
peated applications of water to the
mushroom bed no mushroom crop will
attain the highest perfection.
Cellars, caves and abandoned mines,
or specially constructed houses, are
used for growing mushrooms, because
in such places only can the conditions

Hanalei ranch, also known as the
Princeville Plantation, on Kauai, fig
ures in the largest and most impor-
tant deal in plantation or ranch lands
that this territory has known in many
years. With the exception OF certain
minor Details this transaction, involv-
ing a quarter of million dollars, was
completed yesterday The deal is be-
tween the Prineeville Plantation Com
pany, present owners, and the Lihue

rangement was made at meeting or
the directors of the latter company
held yesterday. The consideration is
reported to be $250,e00.
II is understood that the deal was
negotiated by w. r Sanborn, manager
of the property, who had an option
which was purchased by the Iihue
company for 10000; also that Man
ager Sanborn retains one-tenth inter-
est in the plantation and will continue
as it's manager.
A. S. Wilcox has been the principal
owner of the property and president
of the corporation. The land COM
prises about 5000 acres, of which 700
is rice land, and there are about 1000
head of cattle with the ranch. Prince
vile plantation was one Of the first
sugar producers in the territory, but
has not been raising cane for long
time. The water on the land is said
to attach high value to the property.
In local business circles the price
is regarded as substantial one and
an indication that the Lihue directors
have much faith in the future business
to be handled through the ranch, cat
tie and rice products. !. III. +.
