georgetown see ouk 4tyar favnt pemonstkatov 0 for the blossom swamp with a quite botanical notes for august august has been truly called the month of gold the oureate month or the marine month a lavender haze hangs in the air on these velvety nights under a grape coloured sky crammed with dim stars the trees stand still as those of a submarine forest but these stars are soon to be chased away by the savage rays of the sun as he rises shoots to his zenith and hangs mercl less a brass plaque with a hairy out une in a vivid sky later the hot and quivering air seems filled wth scintll lattng gold dust as the parched earth gives back its shimmering heat to a colossal old gold moon on the farms are boundless oceans of waving golden grain redolent of the crown of the year there too are great fields of corn tossing their plumed helms like mighty squardroiu of old time knights proud in the possession of their golden ladles the oohs it seems these haughty vaval iers are trampling conquered hosts as the enormous golden orbs of the pumpkins crawl and squirm at their xeet and there is more gold world is ablaze with golden highland plain woodland and lake alike are bursting plethera of floral glory it true that all is not gold that glitters but sometimes glitter may mean more than mere glitter as we shall see on the lakes and ponds is the large yellow water lily nymphaoa ad vena perhaps the one which long fellow had in mind when hiawatha s canoe floated on the river like a yellow leaf in autumn like a yellow water lily the flowers look like enormous float ing buttercups not being sweetly scented they are usually lett m peace but there are some people who it is said eat the seeds and roots and who claim that the seeds taste like those of broom corn and the roots after long boiling like sheep liver 1 those sun shaped golden disks with flashing rajs called sunflowers are as well as being ornamental useful to man one authority sas that the seeds of some species as hellanthus annuus ard h petiolarisi were par chgd and ground into meal to make bread corsidered equal to corn bread the thickened tuber like roots of the giant sunflower hellanthus glgant eus and the jerusalem artichoke hellanthus tuberosum are boiled and l eaten like potatoes another useful plant with yellow flowers is the common evening prim rose oenothera biennis which ac cording to sturtevant was formerly cultivated in english gardens for its edible roots which when boiled are wholesome and nutritious sweet to the taste somewhat resembling par snips the much maligned sow thistles add their gold to august the peren nlal species sonchus arvensls is a handsome plant but a noxious weed owing to its large running roots here indeed is a case or futile glitter 1 but it has a first cousin the annual sow thistle sonchus oleraccus much less harmful whose leaves are according to britton and brown used as greens and salad some people may laugh and say surely such common weeds cannot be good to eat but wait until you read this ellas yanousky referring to the skunk cabbage in his food plants of the north american indl ans says rootstocks used as f emergency footjl dried or baked to improve the taste young leaves and shoots used for greens by iroquois and seneca indians there certainly is no acoojnting for taste it is possible th4the red man might not approve of certain types of cheese in an ad vanced stage of decomposition highly relished by the white man and so these drowsy droning dog days gently dissolve into another season beloved for cooler nights and sweet repose when the mellow in cense of the decline of summer re minds us that there will soon be much do again with all the hustle and bustle of dame nature s beneflcient season the harvest henry welssburst popular list owel business man is one of these new canadians who is thoroughly appreciating the privilege of living in canada coming here from frank fort on main germany in 1834 mr wussbunt iras naturalized nine

while unsurfaced roads totalled more than 311000 miles early travel by water in the early days of wtt ement roads were auxiliary to water routes as avenues of transportation they were used during the summer season when portages were necessary to avoid obstacles in river and lake travel and in winter when ice prevented naviga j tion with the spread of settlement and the demand for means of com munication between centres of popu latlon overland routes became neces sary and road construction got under way in the pioneer stages or the dev elopment of the country road building in canada
