of the required size. Three or four feet wide, eight inches deep and any length desired are the proper proportions tor 



tm-Wmm a bed. but this may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers and pounding 



""H^-Wf MtK down each with the back of a spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90

fill up the hole with compost, and at theexpiration of a week or 10 days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused itselt 



through the bed. Spread layer of soil over the heap to the depth of 2 inches, and cover with 3 or 4 inches othay, straw 



or litter. Examine bed often to see that it does not get dry. Take special care, however, when water is given that it
