Fresh horse manure is consid- ered to be the best material to use in growing mushrooms. Some grot&ere prefer to have straw mixed in while others pre- fer to use it without. We believe that either is satisfactory if properly prepared before placing in the beds. After securing a sufficient quantity of the manure put it in a pile and if it is at all dry wet it thoroughly and let it heat up. As soon as it starts to steam, turn it over and tramp it down until it fonna a solid mass. Let it again stand until it heats, turn it again, water it well if it is dry and tramp it dowm Repeat this operation ss often as it is nec- essary to keep the pile from burning, thus destroying its use- fulness for the purpose for which it is intended. If the manure be- gins to get too hot, spread it out for an hour or so until it cools, then pile it in a heap again. If at the second or third turning of the manure about one quarter of its bulk of good garden loam is added, the tendency to burn is greatly lessened. After the manure has been turned several times snd the temperature of the pile is not likely to go above 130 degrees, it is ready for the beds. These may be about 10 inches deep and as long and wide as you wish. It is, of course, as well not to make the beds too wide for conven- ience in planting and picking. After the framework for the beds have been made, place s lay- er of the fresh, moist hot manure in them and tramp it down well until there is about a depth of five inches. Place a )a& er of the prepared manure on top of this and tramp down well. This layer should bring the material to within about an inch of the top of the ten inch boards. If desired the beds msy be camped entirely composed of the prepared manure, but of course this will require more work than using part fresh man- FUEL VERNON FEED STORE A. C.

The temperature of the pre- pared manure at the time it is placed in th«beds shoukl, under no circumstances, be over 115 degrees and no spawn should be placed in them until the temper- ature has fallen to at least 100 degrees and preferably 90 de- grees. The care and spawning of the beds will be discussed next week. NOTS--Th cltsc atu ceasld it ~ alm ce te s c coact&sac oacr led Iha deed a Ia tl I col~.

McKinnon, Fisherman's Bsy Improvement Association, wrote the Council in reference to the float at Fisherman's Bay. He wss advised that the matter of the loose portion was already in hand, but that no action could be taken at the present time in regard to the float being placed nearer the present path. o In connection with Water Li- cense No. 668 for the D.L. 658, Et&k, Block 19, Lot 6, concerning which the Comptrolled of Water Rights had written the inquirer, he was informed that the engine eer would be.glad to cooperate with the district water engineer for the Vancouver Water Dis- trict when he visits West Van- couver.

They were advised the Council very much regret that owing to no provision having been made for any such contingency, nothing could be done in the matter. They would, however, like to con- gratulate the club on the very fine showing it has already made.
