An adequate supply of pure water in the apiary, easily accessible to the bees, is as essential as food and protection at this ^time of year. To prevent the false impression being formed that because bees are subject to disease, some honeys might not be used for food, it is im­ portant to draw attention to the fact that what effects bees produces ab­ solutely no effect on human beings So far as bee disease is concerned, all honeys are perfectly safe for food. Further, it may be noted that honey, instead of promoting di­ sease, tends to retard it, because most of the disease organisms that attack man can not live in honey. Honey draws the water of their con­ struction from the organisms that kills them.

Export Apple Market In a report on market conitions in Great Britain fob Ontario apples during the past season, Mr. Aindrew Fulton, overseas fruit representative makes the significant statement that ‘‘in spite of the difficulties encoun­ tered on the export market, there was always a demand for good qual­ ity dessert and cooking apples at satisfactory sterling values. Unfor- fortuntely there were insufficient shipments of Canadian barrelled apples of outstanding colour and quality reaching the United Kingdom after December to meet the demand for this class of fruit. Red Bald­ wins landing in firm condition never failed to meet a gooa reception and made values ranging from 24 to 27 shillings for No. 1 quality. Cran­ berry Pippins were in good demand and made good values whenever the fruit landed in sound, firm condi­ tion. The McIntosh should be ex­ ported before Christmas, as this variety is evidently unsuitable to stand up to export handling later in the ripe was tish putation, owing to tne variable con­ dition of the fruit upon arrival. Most of the Spys exported are lacking in colour and are too large, with the result that they are very unattrac­ tive.

One inch of growth left on the hedge each year is equivalent to two1 inches in width each year., with the result that in twenty-five years the hedge would be over four feet wide at the base. The hedge will be thicker and more easily controlled if it is cut back almost to the old wood each year. The end of June is a good time to trim. Rose Cultur e THE The STORY OF OUR HYMNS (by H. J.

Take a branch that may be bent down, remove leaves and cover it with soil in spring, or during early summer. Rooting will take place more readily if the branch is injured by cutting into the base of a bud under the soil. The climbers are very easily increased in number by this method. It is well to top dress the lawn at this time with bone meal. Keep lawn properly cut and edges trimmed. The shrubs that bloom in spring and early summer should be prun­ ed after flowering, this permits of vigorous young growth which flow­ ers the following year. Thin out the old wood, keeping the plant in a good shape. Avoid taking too much wood from atty one part of the shrub simply thin it out on all sides. Where shrubs are growing in dry soil it iS wise to provide some form of ground cover, such as rotted leaves or straw. A mulch is also advised for nswly planted eveiV greens. ‘‘From enjoys an unusually wide popularity which does not seem to diminish with time, for the hymn was written over 100 years ago. The author was the young English clergyman, Reg­ inald Heber, who later at the age of 40 years was called to the Episco­ pate at Bishop of Calcutta, India. This famous hymn was written on the spur of the moment, it was just before Witsunday, 1819, that Heber was visiting Shirley. A forth to the collection in the Propagation of the Gospel. Dean Shirley had arranged to hold a spec­ ial missionary service. As prepara­ tions were being made it was felt that no appropriate hymn for the choir was available for the occasion. In his perplexity the Dean turned to his young son in law, asking him ‘‘You are a bit of a poet, could you not help us out?” The young rector immediately sat down at a window of the old vicar­ age began to write, and within two hours read to his astonished father­ inlaw the lines which make up the greatest missionary hymn of the ages. Whitsunday, 1819, according^ ly is the date on which this hymn was first sung in the Christian church. The story of the tune to which the hymn is sung is equally interest­ ing. A copy of Heber’s words had come into possession of a Christian woman in Savannah, Georgle. The unusual meter interested her, and hearing of a young bank, clerk who had a local reputation as composer, sent the poem to him. Within half an hour it was returned with the beautiful tune ‘‘Missionary Hymn” to which it is now universally sung. The young bank clerk was none other than Lowell Mason, who af­ terwards achieved fame as one of America’s greatest hymn tune com­ posers. The marvel is that both words and music were written almost in a moment. Heber is the author of other well- nown hymns, chief among them his hymn of adoration, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!” Alfred Tennyson regarded this as the world’s greatest hymn. Today we quote the three first stanzas of Heber’s missionary hymn the fourth stanza having been added in later years. From Greenland’s icy mountains. From India’s coral strand, Where Afric’s sunny fountains Roll down the golden sand; From From They Their What Blow Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in h’s blindness, Bows Shall With Shall The lamp of life deny?

RUN DOWN BY AUTO SKULL FRACTURED 11 year old Warden Allen, St. Marys In Serious Condition in Hospital it was Alberta of the Windsor, Ont.,—George Foss, born 65 years ago on a farm between Ail- sa Craig and Crediton, entered the United States when he was two years old, with his parents. He be­ came a successful farmer, took part in politics and voted for 40 years he claims. Now he is held in Windsor, bar­ red from the United States, he says because he voluntarily tried to clear his citizenship record when questioned. 'Two years ago he went to to help his son, a verteran American expeditionary force, on a farm but decided to return to the United States, he said. He was held at Great Falls, Montana, for 48 days and then discharged when affidavits- were presented showing his record and good character. He went to his daughter’s home near Battle Creek, Mich., and then went to Detroit to get his record cleared. He was told, he was not a citizen of the United States because his father had merely filed intention to become a. citizen in 1874. He was directed to come to Windsor to get a visa, from the United States consul, and then return.- He cannot get the visa because he cannot pro­ duce his birth certificate. Mayor Dqvid Croll of Windsor and others are trying to bring the problem before the United States Secretary of Labor, through the Canadian immigration channels. Crushed beneath the wheels of a motor car that was being driven down a barn gangway, Warden Al­ len, 11, youngest son of George C. Allen, St. Marys was perhaps fatally injured. He is in a serious condition in Victoria Hospital, London, with a fractured skull and other severe head injuries. The boy had gone from his home to visit his brother who works at the farm of Edward Dunsleth on the outskirts of St. Marys. About 5> p.m. Sunday afternoon, Harold Dunsieth, son of the farm owner, was backing his car from the barn unaware that the other boy was at the rear. It is believed that young Allen was sitting, on the ground at the edge of the runway and was caugnt, the wheels of the car passing over his head. Ball’s ambulance was summoned from St. Marys, and the injured boy removed to the London hospital in charge of Dr. Smith. There an X-ray wa taken that revealed the skull fractured. His face and head was badly crushed by the car wheels. Early Monday his condition was re­ garded as decidedly serious.
