Notes On cow Testing To aaeitt dairy farmers who deatlre to teat their horde for milk produutton the Dairy and Cold Storage Commit,* stoner at Ottawa has issued for public distribution a pamphlet entitled 'vow Testing Notes" and deeignated Circu4 lar No. 10 D.

In July 1915 tbe branch re- ceived records of 22 669 c a w tl. Evidences of the value of cow testing are given; "Cow testing not only produces better cove, but more interested and better dairymen. "With each cow's record before him, the dairyman to able to feed more intelligently. "Meal in pro. portion to milk" is a good motto. "The figures of a creamery state' ment at Way's Mills, Que., Elbow that from a herd of twelve cave in 1912, the each received by the owner Was $297 85. In 1914, from twelve cows be received $80.14$. Be discovered the poor cows and got rid of them. "At Mallorytown, Ont., a herd of twelve cows bas increased from 3,720 pennde of milk per cow in 1009 to 7,388 pounds per cow in 1914; this is an increase of 3,062 pounds of milk per cnw, or. 98 per ceat. "In Hastinge county, Ontario, a farmer commenced cow testing in 1912 and found his herd of ten cows averaged 5.780 pounds of milk and 187 pounds of fat. In 1914 bis ten enwe averaged 7,480 pounds of milk and 254 pounds of fat, an increase of 1 650 pounds of milk and 87 pounde of fat in two years.

Sixth Annual Apiculture Short Course in Ontario This short costae was heldat the Ontario Agricultural College, C#uelpb,. J'anuery hale to 2,204, 1910. Owing to war eenditione a Merge attendance Was not antlofpated, On the opening day, however, there Was an. attendance of twenty.seven later increased to thirty-five young men and a few ladles, Practically every one of these had been previously engaged in beekeeping, They included beekeepers owning one hundred or more eoloniee, sons of successful beekeepers and in one case a beekeeper's hired roan. Many different parte of Ootario were represented, ale° Quebec and the State of Michigan. The gcttogether spirit woe much in evidence, and the interest ehown at all the lectures was very gratifying. It is the purpose of this course to give the underlying principles of bee nature a knowledge of whiah ie ea• eential to successful bee management. Fifty'nlae lectures and demonstrations were given, covering the different phases of beekeeping. Typewritten copies of each lecture outlined were distributed to the class so the main pointe could be followed closely and carried home for future reference. As far as possible the lectures *ere illus. trated with stereopticon views and the actual objects under discussion. Members of the class were also given aboratory practice in hive construc- tion and a visit was made to the apiary of a successful beekeeper in the neighborhood of the College. One important feature of the work Was the display of apiarian apparatus and implements. The educational value of this was clearly demonstrated by the keen interest shown by those present. In concluding this course, the Pro• vinolal Apiarist, Mr. Morley Pettit, was assisted by F. W. L. Sladen, Api- culturist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa; F. E. Millen, B, S. A., Lectur- er in Apiculture and State Inspector of Apiaries for Michigan; F. W. Krouse, President of the Ontario Bee- keepers' Association; James Arm- strong, Selkirk, Vice -President of the Ontario Beekeepers' Association; also some of the apiary inspectors of On- tario. Lectures on allied subjects were given by other members of the College staff. Mr. Frank C. Peliett, State Apiarist of Iowa, paid the class a visit and lectured on beekeeping conditions in his etate. Throughout the course there were many kind words of appreciation by members of the class and on the last day a vote of thanks was tendered Mr, Pettit and the other instructors for the valuable information received and the systematic arrangement of the work. It is proposed to bold a Summer School for beekeepers et the Omar a Agricultural College, some time* in Jane when Kees are active and apiary practice will be possible, Persons i interested should write at once for particulars to Morley Pettit, Pr•ovinci. al Apiarist, Guelph, Ontario, Great Slaughter to the Price of Clothing and Rugs Suits .LTHOUG l I Clothing has advanced in; price over 25 per cent, we have decid- ed to put out our entire clothing stock at actual cost, and sell it before our spring stock arrives and give our customers the belle - fit of it.
