MUSHROOM SPAWN—German, Essbare Blaeterschamme. Mushroom beds may be prepared in a warm cellar or shed in winter, or in the open air in summer. Collect daily the fresh horse manure from the stable, and lay it in a heap to ferment ; turn and mix it well once a week, and when well and equally fer- mented, which will be in about three weeks, it will then be ready for the beds.

Place the prepared dung two feet deep on the beds, mix thoroughly with the earth, and beat or press it firmly down with the back of the spade ; in this state it should remain until the temperature has become sufficiently mild, which may be ascertained by thrusting a stick into the different portions of the bed. Pieces of the spawn of the size of a walnut should then be inserted about two inches deep and six inches apart; cover with loamy soil two inches deep, and press down evenly and firmly. Spread over all a covering of straw one foot thick, and the Mushrooms should appear in five or six weeks. Fresh Spawn, in bricks, per brick, 15c; per doz. bricks, $ MUSTARD—German, Senf.
