ELLIOTT'S SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN. 
Ten poiindx will upawn about ten feet .square. 
Mushroom beds may be made in a warm 
dry cellar or In any bulldiDg where the frost 
does not penetrate, and In the open air dur¬ 
ing the summer and fall months. Having 
procured the Spawn, the next thing to be 
attended to is to make preparations for the 
beds. About a fortnight or three weeks 
before the beds are to be made, collect a 
quantity of fresh horse manure withoutthe 
straw ; place It In a heap under cover, and 
as It heats keep turning It over once or 
twice a week, until the flery heat has been 
exhausted, which will require from ten to 
fourte n days’time. When the manure Is In 
a condition to be made up, lay out your 
bed acc 'rdlng to your requirements, say 3 
feet wide, 10 feet long and from 2 to 3 feet 
deep: beat It well down with the back of 
the spade as the process of building goes 
on. When the bed has been made some 
Ume, say a week or thereabouts, and the 
heat sulOciently declined to a temperature 
of 66 or 76 degrees, the Spawn may be put 
Into it. Break the Spawn In pieces 2 inches 
square, and put them 6 Inches apart, all over 
the bed, then cover the bed with 2 Inches of 
rich soil, the stronger the better, but of a 
loamy quality, beating It down firmly with 
a spade. The soil used for this purpose 
should bo In a pllablecondltlon.and not too 
wet or over-dry. Cover the bed wit h a foot 
of dried straw or hay ; examine once a week 
to see If the manure is not heated while In 
this condition ; If so. It will destroy the 
Spawn, which will require spawning a sec¬ 
ond time If everything goes on well.you 
may expect mushro ms In about flve orsix 
weeks. When the soli looks dry, give a 
gentle watering with repld water, using a rose on the watering pot. 
If the beds are made out of doors, protect them from rain by cover¬ 
ing them with shutters or sashes. Good crops of mushrooms can be 
obtained by s ' ... - 
materials together, and placed In a cellar, closet, greenhouse or 
grapery. We have Just received a choice lot of JSngtish and French
