This is a subject which, to most farmers. it surrounded by a haze of mystery and hesitation, owing to the fact that there are a number of species of mushrooms which are poisonous. Determining the Poisonous Fungi. The first question a man will ask is "How can 1 tell a toadstool from a mushroom?" The Department answers this question by saying that you can not tell a mushroom from a toadstool because mushrooms are toadstools. The general belief is well-nigh univer sal in this country that the ileshy um brella-shaped fungi are divided into two classes—mushrooms, which are edible, and toadstools, which are poi sonous. The assumed diTerence does not exist. All fleshy umbrella-shaped fungi are toadstools; a number of these are edible, and commerce applies the name mushroom; but not a small num ber of other toadstools are edible, and a great many of them, probably tho ITS • o.iUxuxesuun s«ete dux Ui littU w rtshrt itaatoUtmtM HEALTH IN the HOME COSTS Preparation of the Beds.

The various bulletins Gladstone chewed every mouthful of meat he ate thirty-two times, but sixty times is not too often to chew a mouth ful of solid food, according to a well- known specialist on stomach diseases, who declares that it is the one sure way to avoid indigestion, stomach ana intestinal troubles. "Each mouthful should be chewed from fifteen to sixty seconds, accord ing to the kind of solids it contains,’ he says. “Every piece should be ground into fine pulp and thoroughly mixed with the saliva in the mouth before it is in a condition to be prop erly digested. Swallowing should be a slow, almost formal action, for if a bite is gulped down even after it has been well masticated it will cause dis tress by lodging in the thorax for a few seconds and bringing on a dull heaviness in the chest and stomach. “Some foods should be more thor oughly masticated than others. For Instance, beef, veal, mutton—in fact all heavy foods should be chewed for at least a minute, while soft cereals, mushes and well-cooked vegetables need not be held in the mouth for more than fifteen seconds before they will be ready to swallow. All liquids—tea coffee, milk, wine, water—should be drunk slowly. Five minutes at least should be given over to the slow sip ping of a cup of fluid, whether it is hot or cold, for a quantity suddenly put into the stomach is not healthful, and WORTH S10 Less Food Well Masticated fur nishes More Nourishment for Body —Saliva A Digestive. Many people who would enjoy mush rooms added to their menu are de barred because of the difficulty of ob taining them except at considerable expense, and because of unfamiliarity as to methods of home culture. Mushrooms are easy to grow, and beginners are often as successful with them as are those having an extensive experience. Aside from preparing the manure and making up the beds, it is a clean crop to handle and occupies lit tle space. The gathering, sorting, pack ing and marketing of the mushrooms can be easily taken care of by the wom en of the household. Cellars or basement rooms where the temperature in the winter does not go below 55 degrees or does not rise above 05 degrees are suitable places for grow ing mushrooms. It is hardly advisable to grow them under the living part of the house, since the odor of the manure will permeate the dwelling. Stables that are not too cold in winter are suitable. „ The mushroom bed is best prepared from horse manure that comes from well-bedded stables. Some straw is de sirable, but a large percentage Is ob jectionable and should be removed. The manure is cured by putting it un der cover in piles three to four feet deep and of any length and width. It usu ally requires from ten to fifteen days to cure, but should not be put in the beds or boxes until the temperature has ■ ■ . to get ? health worth to you altar the sickness had comet k W^w^dyou^^-^-^rth aPound of Cure.» i‘Au Ounce Maxwell’« Homemaker Magazine every tn^ .u t^t^ you w“‘ -ver need to be sick or to p^ dOuCWhitbwoMd that be worth to you I Wouldn’t it be worth tea dollars ?

Abil ity to distinguish poisonous varieties from those that are edible is not eas fly learned. On the other hand those who wish to collect fungi for their own consumption or the market must be gin by committing to memory the dis tinguishing marks of a few species. Until this is done one must not ven ture to trust to general rules for dis tinguishing good species from bad. There is one rule, however, which should be applied: no one, unless do- cldedly expert, should collect for eat ing the buttons, or small, unexpanded fungi, since in their young condition it Is often impossible, even for experts, to recognize what the species is. The Department of Agriculture has issued a number of bulletins on mushroom growing which give certain rules for determining the difference between the edible common field mushrooms and those that are deadly poisonous. This subject is particularly treated in the Year Dook for 1897; reprints of this portion can be obtained from the Divi Bion of Publications.

Better to Eat Little. A Kansas City man has discovered a novel mothod of preparing pork for the market in a way that will give to the people a meat which is perfectly wholesome. Tae theory is advanced that when a pig is sent to slaughter every squeal emitted in the process of slaughter is an audible announcement of a nervous reaction that effects every fiber of its body, producing such changes as will be detrimental to any one partaking of the flesh. The plan proposed is to drive the porker up an incline into a small pen. Just as he steps in the pen the platform tilts and runs him down a chute. At the end of this chute there is a bucket of slop or mash, or any other pig dellcacv The animal po .es his snout into the bucket when his whole head is caught in a trap and nitrous oxide renders him unconscious before he has time to let out even a little squeal. While • he pig is in this state it is slaughtered There is no excitement, no squeal and consequently no thermic changes. “If the time that can be devoted to a meal is short," he says, “It would be well to remember that a small quantity of nourishing food, properly masti cated, is more beneficial than a larger amount poorly chewed and swallowed in a hurry. The best plan I know is to leave the table without entirely sat isfying one's hunger, while another baked apple or piece of beef would taste good. "Dinner being the principal meal of the day, more solid foods are generally served, and for that reason alone more time is required in properly eating it.
