Uncle loo) All names and places menttonld in this story have been changed. but the sayings are true and throws a new light on the wit and humor of a generation that has passed from thong us. when I was a farm boy our nearest neighbor wll l! 014 N" tired farmer who spent his days sitting in a huge rocking chair, smoking a foul pipe and coin- plainlng about the bad weather and especially the wind. He al- ways ended his little wtlther song thus: "That thsr North Wind is ai- ways cold no mutter which way it blows". Peter Kelly lived near the 4.3 Road station, and frequently rode the train to Charlottetown. One day he was hurrying to the depot and was lust late enough to spot the iron horse pulling sway. “Nuts", he bellowed, shaking a fist in the direction of the van- ishing train, "Keep ageing then if ye won't stop. I've hiked to the city afore ye was horn and I kin do it now." Peter was as good as his word and walked the twenty» four miles to Charlottetown. Once while visiting Kelly's time he asked me to tell him about some of t. laces I had visited. I did, and ca ally remarked e little later that I should like very much to hear something about his own tnavels. "Me", he begsn, "Ye-p. I reckon I did a big of roaming in my time all right. I've been across the big ipond ‘couple o‘ times, worked in BOst-On and Maine where everybody calls a horse a hose, been to Halifax, Sydney, Montreal and Ottaway. Oh yes, and I've been in Canada too." When the gas buggy first made its advent to this province, ai- most every horse took fright and driving was more or less of an adventiur. I was headed for the citly in a new Model '1‘, and had just crass- ed the North River bridge when I spotted a very excited animal. By the time I got Lizzie stopped the horse was actually standing on its hind legs- "Let me take him by the head," I kindly offered. "I think maybe I could lead him by without much trouble”. "Nev-er mind the horse", said the driver. "But I'd be obliged to ye if you'd lead the will by"- After that episode John Dill and I became great friends, and I have happy memories of days spent in company with him and his genial wife. John was fond of his whiskey and made no bones about taking it, so one time he floored me by saying, "Do you know. Joe. I be- lieve in prohibition”. ‘You?’ I said. “How do you figure that way?" "Well", he explained, "If I see a drink coming my way I'll prohibit it from going- any far- ther." _ A rather amusing, conversation took place between two farmers. which I had the advantage of hearing many years back. They were discussing their rewective poultry flock en the telk fin- ally got eroun to egg produc- lion. Said fsmler Jonas “Looklt here smith I've the same breed of hem p; ye have, yemlbd I feeds ’em like righting cocks and puts the freshest of water under their beaks every day, but I'll be gol-rlanged if the critters pay their way. But. I notice Y! sell plenty of shells. Now then. 110W in carnation do ye account f0!‘ m" "Wall", began smith. "Re- member, there's more to this h"! business than any feller can eve!‘ yell-m It's not. just g case of scat- terin‘ grains and pickin' ul) 688!- No, it's not that. simple st all". "Well. what is it?" asked Jones- “Ilm ready to learn. "Will'- ll it. ye ask? It's this: Ye gotta know more than the hen t0 B981“ viii/lb" The late Rev, Percy Lens 0M0 told me about. an Island family he visited down East- It seems 111st the family were poverty stricken and s: full of sin as the! could possibly be. “I went down on my knees", laid the patter. “and prayed that God would brinl more light into that dark and sin-ridden hoflfle. W116i! I Wll my ‘hand and thanked ma for‘ a ‘ratteling fine bit o! talk’. "You're right, person", he talked on, "I've been telling the iseul right along that we should add another windey or two to the old shed." on g certain occasion I was having dinner with s group ef threshers. The head of the house. a Mr. Cobb, always asked a bless- ing. This ended, one of the help- ers asked another chap at the table whether he offered grace in his own home. "New", he replbii. "1 jlst bless the rack of flour when it comes from the mill." Take my, grandded, for in- stance, He had a way of vuttlns worqg together that would melee a horse laugh. I remember Ill!- lng at his home ‘one winter night- it must have been well below zero-when one of his nsidlbofl called to see the old man on some important business. It Ill after ii.

The threshinl mill war set up inside the blrll. and benig a bit diorthsndod m the floor he called to those who were stowing the straw in the loft. "How Illlll! 91 Y‘ W W ttnre?" . mm’, answered a etieriis of vo . "nine!" nolaisned graaflihl. "why, that’; min more than enough} 1st the htif of you some down here." It always amused folkscto hear grandfather's description - of the ms casement. _s. __._ _____~ IIEISY IIOTES (Oeetiauodfrvmresall), betima the maximum sunspot years. time are minimum years when sunpets are few or entirely wanting. .

If these out- burst! happen to. be directed to- wards the earth they cause dis- plays of aurora and deviations of the magnetic compass, besides in- terfering with radio and the work- ing of the electric telegraph. In any case the prevalence of sun- spot: has an influence on the weather and consequently on many other things. Whatever may be the condition of inland regions, districts near the coast get. an ex- tra dose of rain. There is a bet-r ter hay crop-and more difficulty .lIl saving it. Fungi-toadstools and mushrooms-abound and among them are "old friends", species that I've not seen for years! At this point it is well to recall that late blight, s. fungous disease, once devastated the potato crop ln Ire- land. and over 200.000 people died of famine.‘ That was in 1847, the year before sunspot maximum. Damp weather favors the disease and sunspots favor damp weather! Scientists warn us that. influ- enza and “pollo" are likely to as- sume epidemic proportions in sun- spot years. (The sunspot maximum of Ifilil was connected with the g ‘ . epidemic of "'flu" that I have known). ‘All things consider- ed I am inclined to look with ap- lhehensio to next fall and win- ter; though science has already produced good oral vaccines against the influenza. Soybeans In P. l. l. A paragraph is going the rounds to the effect that soybeans can only be grown (in Canada) in Southwestern Ontario. It must be about a quarter of a century ago that.‘ I procured a small quantity of “Man-darin" soybeans from west- ern Canada, where they were be- lng tried out at that time. This is a cool (and at times cold!) part of the Island and although all the beans grew they did not ripen their seed before the frost came: in fact very few did. The seed that ripened, was sown the next year and so on till in a few years i.he' soybeans had become ac- climatized, By that time I grew a considerable quantity of seed and decided to offer some for dis- tribution (free). To my surprise there was but one application for the seed: my books show that some were sent. to Penn's Station, but I never heafd how they suc- cceded. Since then my efforts have tak- en another direction. The Man- darin is an early variety of soy- brln. and its Pods contain one or two seeds mostly. and more rarely three.

Soybeans are valuable for their oil and protein contents, and even the dried stalks are acceptable to farm stock.

This spring I have found sev- eral patches of a kind of fungus or toadstool in the rough pasture: it. is some years since I last ob- served it. It is the Gyromltrs es- culents, which may be translated the Edible Gyromitra. This plant is up to 5 inches high, and the "cap" of a good specim-ent is about the size ‘of a fist, and not unlike one in form, mo. It is,colored s dark reddish brown and is irregu- larly grooved. snarled and folded. reminding one of the convolutlons of the hraini The stern is short, grooved and often compressed: usually hollow and grayish in color. Once seen this toadstool is not likely to be forgotten. It was the botanist Persoon that named‘ it esouienta, “edible? Dr. Gussow, former Dominion Botan- lst. and his assistant Mr. W. S. Odell. took Pei-soon at. his word and ate the fungus without experi- ericlng any ill effect. At the same time they pointed out that there were authentic cases known of sickness, and even fatal results fol- lowing the eating of this species. This may have been due not to any inherent poisonous quality, but to a spoiled or deteriorated eon- ditlon of the fungus. Out of 91 species of fungi (in- cluding taadstoods) which I have identified in the Province there are less than half a dozen kinda that I thoroughly trust, as far as edibility is concerned. Children should be taught to mistrust the whole tribe. Among my notes is an account of the death of two little girls (aged 2 and 4 years) in Lot. 44, from fungus poisoning. The third victim, a boy was ex- pected to recover. This sad oc- currence is dated October 10, i008.

Hero is a piece of money which I-got rodeo. I hold itin my hand and try to imagine its history and its swipes-lance. it was given tomainohengeatastoremdin the goocery department, and had evidently gone for food. Perhaps it was owned by some hard-work- ingman whou lie paid out thought how little now he would havetoshowforiiholnceupona time it would bring him quite a bundle of grocerlu, but now a dollar bill will only give him a quart of milk, a loaf o1 breed and a pound of butter. A piece of money is a very democratic thing. It may form part of the bank account of a wealthy man, or belong to the mos who tolls turd for s living. It may go for drink or be in company where the conduct and conversation are nbne of the most edlfying. It may have been on the gamblers table, and been de- filed by oaths. Pomibly this very coin has been at one time pert of the loot some bank-robber got. at the point of a gun‘. Was it ever lost like the coin Jesus spoke about in his parable? it was then a while out of cir- culation, He spakie often about money. I heard the late Dr. Den- ney of Scotland say on one oc- casion that Jesus spoke about money more often than about anything. Perhaps it was found on some occasion on the street by one who needed it. badly. was it. ever paid to a lad for she-veiling snow, or did it go to the nowsboy who de- livered the welcome newspaper in the early moaning? Did a boy get it’. for opening a gate for a gen- tlomn? I knew a lad who had such an experience, and in later life he never saw a ten dollar bill that looked as big as hint little silver piece looked then, Likely enough this coin went to church. I suppose we have all heard of the copper and the quarter wihloh met at the wicket of a benik, where the shining shilling looked with some con- tempt. at the shabby copper coin. But the penny said with some truth: "I go to church oftener than you." _ Some time ago I read ofa lit- tie girl who had a birthday and among her presents were some silver coins. She said, “I elm ge- ing to give some cif this sliver to God, He often gets little but cop- pers"; so she put silver in the church collection on Sunday. So if this coin could only tell where it bed been. whet it. was exchanged for, who owned it at different times, what a romantic story that would bei Might it. not rival the story or the wo erful pudding which s. teacher tori her clam "took s thousand men to mskefi"!

Was it glad when it went for food for the hungry, or for clothes for the naked or coal or wood for the stilvering, or when it helped to fill a basket for the needy who lived far up some dream stratwey? Row would it feel in the hand of e thief, or put down on a counter for drirt winch/helped to render a man dangerous to his fellows?
