MUSHROOMS 
Can be easily grown by anyone who has a cellar, or dark room, wher 
the temperature can be kept at from 50 to 60 degrees. The soil shouh 
be a sandy loam if possible to procure it, but if not, secure the top-soi 
from an old pasture. To every bushel of soil add about two bushels o 
St h w ^ rSe " ia j lure > thoroughly mixing both; then prepare a bed thre. 
feet wide, put down a thin layer of the mixture, pack in hard and kee] 
t,L Wlt V hlS . me tbod until the bed is about 8 inches thick. When tin 
« at * Ur t m the * be ^ goes . down to about 85 degrees, make hole; 
about 8 inches apart and put in small pieces of spawn. Cover the holes 
press the soil lightly; at the end of ten or twelve days cover the be< 
with fresh soil only, and on top of this put 4 or 5 inches of hay o 
straw. If an even temperature is maintained you may expect to gathe 
Mushrooms in from six to eight weeks, and the bed will continue t< 
produce for nearly a month.
