farmers in Prince Edward have

Oanadian Fur Auction Sales Com- pany. Ltd. and the Hudson's” Bay company. Ltd. auctions in Mon- treal last week and the previous week. The upwards of 80,000 diver fox and mutation pelts had a re- ception f nt of. years ago. Por the first time since 1947 there was a genuine scramble for pelts and the fact that prices for sil- vers went up to 310. with a large number selling in the 830. brack- ets givcs evidence that better types of skins will have a good re- ception in the future. 0 O I

As far as we can figure there should be about 06.010 silver fox and mutation pelts to be market- ed in Camda. This includes the carry-over and the fresh pelts of 1950. A big hole has been punctur- ed in that aggregate, certainly ov- or ao.ooo. which would leave ro- mainlng in the vicinity of 45,000 for the rest of the auctions of lul. It is therefore not too much to expect that when December rolls around the market will be bars.

Now let us see what Canadian pelts wul be available for the buy- era in 1962 --probably not more than 30.000-and as war prepara- tions increase it will certainly

't. would appear to be an almost certrt ty that the silver fox farmer can sell his product at at least a small profit in 1962.

The above prices for white fox are the best. since 1946 and they too, are another indication of better times for the fox farmer. Red fox was reported 38 per cent sold with a good demand for the heavies. Cross fox 53 per cent sold. good demand at high prices; white fax 99 per cent sold; Blue fox 53 per cent sold, firm; ranch mink (41,160) 96 per cent sold, strong de- mand compared with December 1930; Ranch mink (2857) 99 per cent sold, very strong demand compared with December. 0 I 0

Another release of the Hudson's Bay Company's sale which appear- ed ln women" Wear Daily is as follows: Hudson's Bay Company reported strength in all articles sold and bstantial advances in most. Silver fox was reported 75 per cent sold; selected regular and inferior standards were in demand and very strong; pearl platinum in strong demand, ,very strong prices; silverblu mink was reported 90 per cent sold with very strong demand; pastels 79 per cent sold. very firm; miscel- laneous mutations loo per cent Iold. very strong: white up to 375; wild mink 90 per cent sold. very strong demand.

Francis "lain refers to this Warbler in his "Birds of P. E. I.," thus: "ms Golden Mourner rings out its lay ' company with the Redstazl - thee west, the a west west - and the brilliant Tennes- see is its roving companion.” It appears in all N. 3. lists but is stat- ed to be rare. '

The plumage.cf this Warbler is mostly of the darker coloration, whence the descriptive. epithet, Mourning" the golden effect is limited to the nderparta.

There are three records for E. I. Naturalist Dwight observed this bird in 1892; T. W. Stewart of Ottawa, saw one at Bonshsw July 1'1. loss. Another was seen by Miss Maude M. Jones. at Pownai, June 2, 1019. The central Provinces ap- pear to be more attractive to this Warbler.

Mourning Warbler. AOUU 070. Rare Simmer Resident. Male: head and neck bluish ash; throat and breast black; rest of the upper loarts. wings, and tail, all olive- green; underparts golden yellow. No wlngbars, tail patches, nor white eye-rings. Female similar but duller, head and breast slight- ly graycr; throat not as dark. Length of adult 5.5 inches.

ANOTHER. ANCIENT STONE

There flows into the river Tyne, a short distance above Newcastle, a tributary called the Dcrwent. Al- most rt "-- '-inction of the two rivers, a ford crosses the Derwent, and leads to a narrow road or 'sne. which running between high banks, clothed with trees, finally by devious ways. strikes into the main road to the city of Durham. This was the road formerly used by the marauding,bs.nds of Scots who raided the Bishopric from time to time. looting, burning and slaying.

A mile or so from the ford and well back from the road was an ancient fortress usually called Hol- linside Manor-house. The name would indicate that holly had been the predominating growth at one time but when I visited the place. about '10 years ago, the ruined building was surrounded by mixed hardwoods with a fair proportion of oak. A family g&i.lBd Harding held I-Iollinside in 1448 but by 1621 they had got into debt and begun to decline; and in 1730, their estate passed by oreclcs 'u of mortgage into the hands of others and the building was left to the corroding hand of Time. I should like to tell readers about the peculiarities of this old fort- ress, for it had many. Enough to

mention that there was a large square hole in the wall above the fireplace.

Richard Harding, the last pro- prietor, was reduced to the owner- ship of a small cottage in the Der- went Valley. but before he left Hol- iinside. he dug the stone bearing his coat-of-arms out of the wall and buried it by night in his cot- tage garden. George Bowes, the new owner and a very wealthy man. does not seem to have troubl- ed about the stone and after some years it was dug up.

I visited the little cottage in en- quire about tho stone and there found that two old ladies. the last 01 the Harfllngs. had given it a coat of whitewash. and set it up in the "front room". It was about 30 inches square. of fine-grained sandstone. The cost-of-arms carv- ed in high relief, depicted a plum- ed helmet with visor, .....mounting a shield of conventional form. on the shield were carved three grey. hounds running. Originally, the I ” I "i been painted red (gules) While the smyhounds had been gilded.

NATURE NOTE

Cluster-flies (Pollania rudis) are in evidence here every winter, whenever the sun shines. They come out of seclusion and dlsport on the the window-panes. Some- times a house-fly may be seen in the living-room, but during two mild spells this winter a mosquito appeared and was quite lively. It made no attempt to "bite."

one lives and learns. An illus- trated msgasiue gave a colored picture showing a ” subject with the "Mongolian blue spot! This was an area near the base of the spine. of a light blue color, shading on to the natural color of the skin. The spot did not ap- pear too large. perhaps 2 to 3 inch- es in diameter and I gathered that all Mbngolians were similar-

amongst them some of the Sku- lsns. are colored in that region, but this is the first time I have read of the human "bhre spot." -Lately. in Dr. Barton's "rhst Body of Yours," I read some notes on the accumulation of fat in var- ious parts of the human anatomy. There was. too. an allusion to the same process in "The White Witch Doctor", a serial (and a good one!)-now appearing in a popular magazine. The Witch Doctor shoots some hippopota- musea, and the Atrican natives fatten their gluteal uscles on the flesh of the "river-pigs." This on- lsrged condition is called Siesta- pygla and is quite common among the I-lottentots of south Africa. It appears to have been-prevalent in Neolithic times for all the fig- urines (small statues) found in the underground Neolithic temples in Malta, were steatowaous.

Foxes are quite common in this part of the Island. and we have lost a few hens this year. Tilers are no rabbits (hares) here now.

With the exception of a few Blue Jays, there have been no birds here-this winter.
