NOVEMBER 12, 1930 lower end of the pipe is efficiently sealed in the rock, also that the top of the pipe is sealed in the cover. Otherwise surface water may trickle down the pipe into the well. If the well is shallow and wide, the walls of the well should be made impervious to an adequate depth. Ten or twelve feet is the usual depth recommended for the impervious wall which may be of concrete, pud- pled day or cemented tile. The wall should be continued upward one foot above the surface of the giound. By this means, surface wa­ ter must filter through a depth of tep or twelve feet of earth before it can enter the well, and if the earth is in a reasonably clean condition, the water thus becomes purified.

The colder the hive becomes, the greater will be the amount of heat required to keep up the temperature of the hive. .Should the cluster be a small one, there will be fewer bees for beat production and insulation, and these few will have to work harder to pro­ duce the necessary heat. Excessive heat production is apt to start the bees producing brood, which is us­ ually fatal to the colony when the bees are unable to fly The greater the number of bees within th° col­ ony, the smaller amount of work is required from provided that are equal.

In 1934 the consumption of butter was 33 6,- 824,894 pounds, or a per capita con­ sumption of 31.12 pounds. Between 1933 and 1934 there was an in­ crease amounting to almost a pound per head, but the 193 5 figure is just about three-quarters of a pound above the 19 33 figure, and less than one-half pound above estimate. erage run is over 3 0 lation. T.he consumption of cheese in Canada in 1935 is estimated at 39,- 572,341 pounds, or 3.61 pounds per head of population. This is prac­ tically the same per capita figures as in 1934, but compared with 1933 shows the small increase of 0.22 lb. and an increase of 0.3 6 pound com­ pared with 19 3 2. other books. “To read some books today one would think there were no good people in the world as if there were nothing real but ugliness,” declar­ ed the authoress. “I never cater to the prevailing taste for these books.

Noted Author Speaks Mrs. Ewan McDonald O.R.E., bet­ ter known as the beloved authoress, L. M. Montgomery, was the guest i speaker last night at the annual rally of Mission Circles.

Miss Wood extended thanks to the Goderich auxiliary for their hos­ pitality. The invitation of Wingham to hold the next autumn rally there was unanimously accepted. Later the members adjourned to the church where the centre pews were reserved for them, and a large audience listened with interest to a delightful program presented by Mrs. W. P. Lane.

Gives Fine Message After expressing her pleasure addressing audiences where youth predominates, Mrs. MacDonald said she would try to answer in her talks questions girls have asked her. Am­ bitious boys and girls had enquired, “When did you begin to write*?” to which she answered, "As far back as I can remember.” In her books her native province is Prince Edward Island, colorful and rich in scenic beauty. When she first -come to Can­ ada 35 years ago the scenery, the people, seemed dull and She was born on the north of the island, marriages and intermarriages, mother was a MacNeil her father a Montgomery. The first members of the latter family to come to Canada were three brothers. Hugh Mont­ gomery’s wife was seasick during the whole voyage. The ship ran out of water and a stop was made at Prince Edward Island and the captain told her she would have to go ashore. It was at that time covered with woods and Mrs. Montgomery was so glad to land she exclaimed “Here I stay.” Her husband had to land there, took up a homestead and had seventeen children, all of whom liv- . ed to grow up and had large fam­ ilies.

At the same time there are three important factors necessary for suc­ cessful wintering, the neglect of any one of which will either cause the death of the colony or so seriously weaken it that it becomes unprofit­ able to the producer. These three factors are (1) strong, that is to say, populous, colonies, consisting of mainly, young bees (2) an abun­ dance of wholesome stores, and (3) adequate protection from cold and changeable temperatures. Bees do not hibernate in the true sense of the word. When it becomes cold, they form a compact cluster, and the bees in the heart of the cluster generate heat by muscular activity. This activity, of course, necessitates the consumption of stores in proportion to the amount of energy expended. The bees on the outside of the cluster act as in­ sulators to prevent the escape of the heat generated. It has been for err in-In a recent interview, cheerful formation about the gradual lessen­ ing of unemployment in his district was given by Mr. 'George H. Langan, Superintendent of the Ontario Em­ ployment Service for Perth, Huron and Bruce Counties, “I am very much encouraged by the steadily increasing demand for labour,” said Mr. Langan. In the two years he has occupied his present position Mr. Langan has made strenuous efforts to widen the usefulness of the Ontario Employ­ ment Service by going out into many municipalities in his district and in­ viting the municipal clerks to co-op­ erate by registering applicants in their own area, so that contract work will be more equitably distributed among those on relief and those who George H. Langan have struggled to keep off relief but whose ’plight may be even worse than those on relief. Splendid suc­ cess has met his efforts in this re­ gard. Every effort will be made. Mr. Langan said, to persuade employers to encourage their workers, when they were laid off temporarily or permanently, to register at the Em­ ployment Service Office at Stratford. Steps will be taken, too, he said, to try to encourage employers to use the services of the government bur­ eau. Heads of industries will be asked to not only report their labour needs, but to advise the Employment Service when men are employed. “Men who register at our office when seeking work have the advan- l take of a service which is provincial­ wide,” said Mr. Langan. "It would be more ‘beneficial to employees and employer .alike if cur services were more widely used.” REPORT OF S. S. No. 11, STEPHEN The following is the report o’f S. S.
