en- experienced farmers and dealers

even experienced farmers and dealers
are at times deceived. There are,
however, few classes of mushrooms
about which there can be no mistake,
and the only safe rule is to touch no
fungi outside these woll-known varie-
ties. 1t may be generally stated,
however, that the mushroom has an
agreeable odor and taste, while the
toadstool is acrid to the palate, and
gives out heavy scent that is far
from pleasant.
The genuine mushroom is plumper,
rounder and softer than the toad
stool. The latter. although at times
very large, has the appearance Of
what might be termed hungry
growth. While the surface Of the
mushroom is scarcely ever regular,
there is a smooth sickness about the
skin of the cap which is not found in
the toadstool. In the mushroom the
%gills" are fuller than in the toad
stools. The "gills" are the delicate
fllaments beneath the convex cap
which correspond in a measure to
the ribs of an umbrella. A toadstool
is usually taller in proportion to its
weight than a mushroom, while the
stem is thinner, darker and more
wiry. Pink gills mark the best
known species Of mushrooms, but

mann Tnrnin,a Cheese.

Tam Turnip was cow-feeder In
Kilwinning. His education had, we
are sorry to say, been sorely neglected
when he was young, and when he
grew up he had neither the time nor
the inclination to improveit, 1t was,
therefore, little wonder that Tam
did not know a B from BULLS foot, "
in so far as letters and figures were
concerned.
In the course Of time, however, he
got into a system of bookkeeping Of
his own, and although the strange
strokes and crosses with which he
noted his everyday transactions might
be Greek to any other body, he was
rarely, If ever, known to make a
single mistake, till one day, on look
ing up his affairs, he made the dis
covery that his worthy friend and
neighbor, Geordie Gingerbread the
baker, had got a whole cheese from
him, and, strange to say, though al
ways good payer, had never settled
his account So away Tam went to
see about 1t.
Stepping into the shop he found
Geordie behind the counter.
Slime day, Geordie," quoth Tam.
Fine day, Tam" quoth GeOrdie.
"Weel, man." proceeded Tam, II

bit cheese ye got frae us while syne,

"CheeseP" replied George. "Man,
I never got a cheese frae We a. my
life What makes ye think that,
Tam? doOt we've made some mis-
taxi"
"Na ma, replied Tam, ats nae
mistak'-it's here In black and white,
as plain as ye like" showing him a
roughly drawn moonlight circle in his
notebook.
"Weel," returned Geordie, 81 dinna
