HE results of the relative mon-conductivity otasome bee- hive .insulating materials are given below as the result of tests, 100 being en standard: Very ane h1 ick rsgrenulated cork. (dust form), 100. Chopped straw, 8ii:. Coarse black reg.ranulated cork, 85. Forest leaves (well. dried), 84. Gratualeted cork, tight or natural color, This is the ,•,l:'.de usually used as packing about imported Malaga grapes for instance, 84, 8-20 grade granulated cork (nat- ural color), It looks similar to pre- ceding one but it is a little coarser in grain and lighter in weight, O. Sawdust, very dry and from well seasoned and clean lumber, 68. Excelsior =grade used in packing boxes, 60, Planer shavings. 60. The lesson of this table is that the fine black cork dust Is the poorest ; conductor of heat or the best 'mu- ; 1,ttor so far as the resistance of the ticsrsage: of heat is concerned, and planer shavings is the best eond.uetor of heat, and therefore the poorest in- sulator of the nine substances tested. The fact should be emphasized that these results do not tell us anything about the substances except their power to conduct heat. It away be that if they were tried out as insula- tion ' for bee -hives we wouldarrange bion differently than us given above. Titers are other properties .besides conductivity of heat that figure in practice, and a consideration of these is my second purpose as announced at the beginning. A good insulating material neces- sarily is qt conductor ofe t , h a but ail non-conductors are not neeessarily good insulators in practice, or, at any rate, not always, desirable or satis- factory. Next to non -conductivity is low m ostuxe absorption or the ability to keep comparatively dry in moist weather conditions. Experts In bee- keeping say at hash moisture con- tent in the hive Is fatal to the bees since it causes dysentery among them. Let us assume that the air in a hive is very moist, say at a nor- mal temperature. and the tempera- ture goes down several degrees ow- ing to inadequate protection or in- sulationabout them, and see what happens. The result is exactly the sante condition we all have often ob- served on the outside of a. water jug filled with cold water and set in warm air. Moisture congeals on the outside of the jug, and it becomes cold and clammy and the water drips from it and makes ever'ay'th1ng else it touches wet. Likewise' the dew is formed. The physical reason for 'these phe- nomena is the fact that cold air can- not hold in the invisible or vapor form as much moisture as warm air can.. Some of the moisture •held at high tehalperature must appear as drops of ater at 'the lower temperature, or in other words there is a rain, and a rain in a bee -hive is a serious mat- ter, but it can be prevented by con- trolling the temfaeratux•e inside the yhive. 'Herein exists one o -f the most important uses of the insulation about the hive. Other reasons why n insulation should not al sorb mois ure are that moisture in,reas s the onduetivity of the insulation ' ea eat and also makes. it afore iiabi o deterioration and decay.

With equal emphasis it may be said: "Keep your insulation dry if you would protect your bees well and give them a fair chance to succeed." Qf the substances listed in the foregoing list granulated cork, forest leaves (if dried tiff one year ahead) and planer shavings are the poorest absorbers of moisture,. Sawdust us- ually is too green and dirty to be very dry at the very best, and decay sets in rapidly, and cliopp,d straw unless very well: ripened and cured may be objectionable in the same way as sawdust. Theft, too, rats and mice are apt to bother it seriously. This insulation must be odorless, else rile bees may leave the hives. It miss,. bc• readily available and reasonably cheap, and in these particulars for- est leaves, chopped straw and planer shavings hie foremost. It also should be easy' and agreeable to handle and pack in position, and not subject to spontaneous combustion. Thirdly, the main reason for insu- ting the hives, especially in the inter season under outside condi- ons, is to conserve the bees own armth so that they can live coin= rtably and not have to eat an extra dinary amount of food in order to maintain a normal temperature.

It is not necessary to use whole milk for making Cottage; cheese, Staminilk is quite satisfactory, :and a small ampunt of cream may be added to the curd at the time of add- , ing the salt. There are two methods arse"1 in making cottage Cheese, the "rennet method" and the "ordinary" or "hien- lag method." We will speak o: the heating metho I, asit is the one most commonly used in Ontario. To .make good flavored cheese It is necessary to have good clean flav- ored, milk• tree from taints or odors. Have t fresh fee ]x skint,milk at a temperatut'iaQ f 65 to 75 deg. F. it can be angled to sour naturally, or a .small amount of good flavored sour skimmilk or buttermilk may be added to hasten the souring and help con- trol the flavor. Allow t n milk o Stand undisturb- ed until it has nicely thickened when It will be ready for the next step of the proc process. Stir milk to break it up evenly. then carefully heat it to separate the curd from the whey. If onlysmall a ma amount Is biding heated it may be placed in a double boiler. A larger quantity may be heated In a can or pail, while a clteesevat Is suitable for large quan- tities,' If the water in the vessel sur- rounding. the milk Is kept between 140 and ,150 deg, F. there will not be the danger of overheating or heat- ing too quickly, which is often the case when the water is boiling. There is usually a good separation of curd and whey when it is heated to a temperature between 90 and 100 deg. F. If the whey should :not be clear when the temperature reaches 100 deg. do not heat higher, but al- low the can to stand. The whey will likely become clear in a few minutes. Avoid overheating the curd as it causes the cheese to be dry and crumbly. Next, drain the curd. It may be ]rung up in cotton bags or it may be drained on cheesecloth placed over .a rack or 'strainer. When the free whey has drained away lift the cloth at one side and allow the curd to roll to the centre, then do the same with the other side. This will hasten the drainage. When sufficiently drained the curd should be salted, using about an •ounce of salt'to four or five pounds of cheese. If the cheese were made from skim - milk it will be necessary to add a little cream. About an ounce of cream for each pound of cheese will be sufficient. After thoroughly mixing allow it to stand a little while for the salt to dissolve before putting it up in packages. If a person were making a quantity it might be put up in pound pack- ages by printing it with the butter - printer and wrapping in parchment paper. This is an inexpensive way,of handling cottage cheese, but it is not as attractive as the little fibre con- tainers coated with paraffine. A person who is making butter on thefarm might increase the returns from the dairy by making some cot- tage cheese each week, as there are many people who like cottage cheese but do not know where to get it. Cottage cheese is a food that is nutritious yet inexpensive and much more of it might 'be used. Like all other foods, we find peo- ple who like it and those who do not, but in many cases the addition of some "flavoring has made it accept-' able. Cottage cheese may be used in many ways. It may be eaten with cream and sugar, preserves or maple syrup, or an attractt've dish may be made by making a nest of cottage cheese and placing a bit of jelly in the centre: Or itmay be flavored by:" the addition of chopped nuts, olives or pimentos and moulded into any desired shape. - ..If a person- has not a mould, a small box may be lined with waxed paper and the cheese packed in with a knife or spoon: When filled, fold over the ends of the papers and shake the cheese out of the box. Cottage cheese salads.•are popular.' A very simple salad is glade by plac- ing on a lettuce leaf a small mould or•a heaping tablespoonful of cottage cheese then adding salad dressing,;; or a more ,fancy salad rtay✓'`b`e made by making the cheese into small balls and rolling them in chopped nuts.. Cottage cifeese may also ,be used as a- sandwich .filling by mixing it with,bhopped nuts, 'celery on dates or any ,,other flavoring that May be desired: -t r Many, recipes could be given for utilizing.. this dairy by-prodikct, cot- tage. cheese, but sufficient has been said to suggest its •possibilties,- Mss Belle Millar, O.
