 Culture. Mushrooms may be grorni in cellars, under benches of greenhouses, or in sheds wherever the tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees can be kept up through the winter. The beds should be made from November to February, accord- 

 li^^^Hlfe ing to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it requires about two months for them to begin bearing. Secure 



Li^^^^^^Efc, fresh horse dung, free from straw and litter, and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this 



nnder cover, taking care to turn it every day to prevent it from heating, until the pile is large enough to make a bed 

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

 a bed; but these may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers and pounding 

 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 

 degrees, make holes in the bed about a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of spawn 2 or 3 inches in diameter; 

 fill up the hole with compost, and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused 

 itself through the bed. Spread laver of soil over the heap to the depth of 2 inches, and cover with 3 or 4 inches of hay, 

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

 that it be at a temperature of 100.
