, I1 Thornton THE LITTLE TURNCOAT

The truth to tell we must confess At times a let depends on dress. -shadow the Weasel.

Old man winter was on his way. lie was still a long way off. but the weather was letting cooler and cooler. and sometimes the nights were really cold. Soon Jack Frost would be around every night. Near- lyiali the trees. excepting the ever- greens. were bare now. Thered and yellow. and brown leaves. car- peted the Green Forest. The Green Meadows were green only in p'lc- es. The old Pasture was brown. Most of the summer feathered friends were well on their way to the Land-of-Always-Summer. Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter sat at th- edge of the dear Old Brisr-patch looking out.

''It is a sad time," said Mrs. Peter.

"Who says so? What is there sad about it? If you ask me, itis a glad time." said Peter.

"What is there to be glad about? demanded Mrs. Peter.

"Everything." said Peter. as if that quite settled the matter. "The children are grown up. and we don't have to worry about them any more. Happy Jack Squirrel has his winter supply of nuts stored away. So have cousins Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Striped Chip- munk. Paddy the Beaver is almost through working so hard.”

"How do you know that? said Mrs. Peter.

He is way up in the Green Forest. and you haven't been up there," said Mrs. Peter.

"Sammy Jay has, and he told me, getorted Peter.

"You can't believe everything Iammy Jay says," declared little Mrs. Peter. She really was feeling east of sorts this morning.

A few years later. came the cradle. a wooden framework which raked the grain together. Our great- grandfathers fastened the cradle to a scythe and started scything- This was a great improvement over ithe sickle in that it was able to cllt a swath from foilr to six feet "y 3-,”. wide. thus enabling th farmer to

.cut down his field in uch less "it is funny that nobody elseftime. An expert cradler could cut around here had a white coat inlas much as three acres in one day. the winter.” remarked Peter. ;proi'bng the grain stood straight "You have forgotten someone,”ian(c)l Cteiltlil.

When the grain was sufficiclitly dry. the stocks were loaded on a ylltllllc made sled anti hauled to the lllireshing floor, where the grains 'were pounded from the stocks by means of a f1aiI.a laborious task, to say the least. Just as soon as a given quantity of grain had been flailed out. the farmer piled it to one side to await a favorable breeze to separate the chaff from the seed.

How precious must have been those first few sacks of wheat. gleaned from a small patch of cleared land!

Pioneer Days In P. E. I.

By I. I. lacArtIIIr

Then. one stormy day. the rugged pionee threw a sack across his broad shoulde a and started walk- ing to the nearest grist-mill. often several miles away. The old mill was like a smithy of a later per- iod. a place where the settlers gath- ered to discuss the latest events. in their respective communities, while they waited in turn while their grists were being turned into flour.

Often. a farmer would be absent from home for a whole week, pas- sing the days in pleasant conver- sation. the nights in sleeping in the creaking old milhouse with a pillow of ungrouud grain beneath his head.

What uncounted hours of toll went into the making of that flour! How good it must have tasted to the entire family each of whom could proudly boast of having had a hand in its production.
