County reports considerable tion in fall wheat yields, the ity running .between 25 and shels to the acre but with one farm­ er reporting a crop averaging 48 bushels to the acre. Ten carloads of heavy cattle were consigned from Huron to New York State markets recently, Peel County reports yields of -wheat from 25 to 40' 'bushels per acre, the sample varying from fair to good. Waterloo’s crop of fall wheat runs from 30 to 35 bushels per acre, as does that of Wellington. Livestock are reported in excellent condition in that district as pasture has not been so good in a great many years. Haying has continued late in in many of the southern counties due to unsuitable weather for curing. York County reports good yields of wheat, but with considerable rust showing up. colonies, a good text book and to visit nearby beekeepers as often as possible. A beginner is often mis­ lead into buying his first lot of bees during late summer or in the fall; this is a mistake and likely to cause a lot of trouble and possible loss of of the during wrong rectified during the summer but not during the winter. Otten bees are purchased by a beginner as a bar­ gain when a little experience would show that they would be expensive Never buy bees unless they are in moveable frame hives of not less than ten frame size and that they are absolutely free from disease. Furthermore, be sure that each colony is headed with a good queen. Do not buy colonies of bees from a nearby beekeeper and move them during the active season, for if you do, the field force of the col­ ony will return to their old home and your colony will he left in a weak condition. To prevent this the colonies should be moved for at least two miles. A new swarm can be moved anywhere. All the way through the active season there are problems of manipulation upon which almost everyone is anxious to give the beginner some advice, which if accepted more often than not leads to trouble.

' Physical Instructor Loses Use of Limbs If rheumatism is crippling your limbs, arid making life miserable for you, read how this man obtained relief from the same trouble:■— “I am a swimming and physical instructor, Earjy last year1 I had vio­ lent stabhing pains in my legs from the hips to my big toe, In the mornings, I could not -$alk for three or four hours, Massage oil, pills, etc., did me no good, Someone beg­ ged me to take Krusehen Salts, In despair I gqt a bottle. After I had taken three parts of the contents, I was as fit as ever, except for a little stiffness of the joints, while in gen­ eral health I was far 'better, Krus- chen has put me on my feet.’NHJL.S, Rheumatic aches and pains are -often used by the accummulation of too much uric acid in the system. Keep down the excess of uric acid, and it stands to reason you’ll get glorious relief. That is just what Krusehen Salts does — brings quick relief .from the cutting, stabbing pains of rheumatism, because it ac­ tually rids your blood of excess uric acid. CROMARTY Rev. Mr. Reidie returned from his holidays and occupied the pulpit on Sabbath last. During the heavy electrical storm that passed over this vicinity last Thursday, Mr. John Scott had a fine cow killed by lightning; Mr. Drown’s barn at gtaffa was also struck and the storm was the m°st severe this season, A great deal of wheat is still lying in the fields owing to the heavy showers which in other ways have done a great deal of good both to the potato crop and root crop.

Wireworms have deal of damage to tobacco, grain and sugar beets, 'but have apparently not been more num­ erous than usual in a whole. Cutworms, in the Ontario, have been than usual. In the vine© they have done some damage here and there, but there 'has been no serious outbreak. White 'Grubs have done severe’ injury to grass, mangolds, and other plants on same farms, especially in Central Ontario, but not as many re­ ports of damage have been received as was expected. Rose Chafers (Rose Bugs) dur­ ing the latter .part of the month, em­ erged in large numbers and are now attacking strawberry plants, rasp­ berries, roses, fruit trees and vine­ yards. The insects are limited to districts where there is much light, sandy land, as it is in such waste lands that they breed. Grass hoppers in parts of Manitou- lin are abundant enought to require applications of poison bran bait.

Beekeeping, however, like all other lines of endeavor requires experience to make it a successful undertaking, and many a beginner has finally given up in disgust just for the want of it.

FiOJI ,.4r If you drive recklessly and have not made up your mind to stop it, you are going to find yourself in serious trouble — soon/ The Department of Highways is determined to put reckless drivers off the road and keep them off. If you need your car in business, stop arid think for a minute what would happen if you had your driving license cancelled. You might lose your job. But what is your job compared to the death, crippling, or injuring of a good citizen! Reckless drivers are criminals going along our highways breaking laws, maiming and killing defenseless people. Our laws are adequate and fair. Obey them and you will keep out of trouble; break them and take the consequences. You cannot say you have not been warned. Stop speeding! Stop cutting in! Stop passing on hills. Stop taking chances of any kind. If you must drive slower than the average traffic, keep well to the right side of the highway or use the side roads. Do not block other traffic. ONTARIO MOTORISTS WILL CO-OPERATE to put reckless drivers where they belong. Here is what to do. When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, 'make a careful note of the actual time and place and when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor infringements of the truffle laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders.ONTARIO ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS Motor Vehicles Branch
