In a large flock many lambs look alike, and mothers frequently disown or fail to care properly for their own lambs. Australian Sheep Branding Fluid Recommended. In order that needy lambs may be easily recognized and their mothers found, a convenient system of mark- ing is needed. For marking purposes Australian sheep branding fluid is Canadian Pacific Railway offi- best..

A Good System of Numbering Suggested. In marking, a system of number• ing is adopted.

About Seed Corsi. In districts where corn growing is an assured.success the greatest cause of low 'yields is poor seed. This should not -be so. The use of poor seed is unprofitable and causes the loss of large sums of money each year, not only in loss of crop, but in loss of labor and use of tools in tilling acres that have but a thin or less than 100 per cent. stand of erop. With corn planted, 42 x 42, there are 3,556 hills per acre if no losses occur through headlands. Us- ing four seeds per hill, there would be 14,224 plants if all seed grew•and developed strong plants. If each plant gave an eight -ounce ear, the yield would be 104 bushels per acre. If only one plant in each hill gave an eight -ounce ear, the yield -would be 26 bushels per acre. Now ...the work and expense of interest on in- vestment; s,fertilzing the land, ploughing, planting. and cultivating would be the same for a perfect stand as for a twenty -rive per cent. or a thirty-three per cent. crop. Good seed is, therefore, the first insurance" Lora 100 per cent. stand in the .corn Seld.—L. Stevenson. •• Pigs Profitable When Cared For. Swine are profitable when given abundant sunshine and exercise, fed on well -selected feeds, gently han- dled, given proper sanitation and •housing, kept free from; worms and lice, and Protected against cholera and other diseases. Quite a lot can happen a pig between birth and old age, but it is an easy animal to keep in the straight and narrow path lead-' ing to successful and profitable de- velopment if you go the right way about it. Pigs frequently suffer more from the heat of the sun during the sum- mer than they do from the cold of the winter period. If possible, make full use of any available shade trees when making your plans for swine pastures, feed .lots'or colony house locations.—L. Stevenson, Is farm` life worth while?

WOMEN AS BEEKEEPERS A ° Work That Will Suite Their Natural Disposition. No Better Opportunity' Offered Coun- try Girls—Beekeeping Has a Fas- cination for Female Apiarists -- Cost of Starting and Probable Profits -Male Experts Approve. •(Contributed by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) The historicriddle propounded by Samson: "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness," was answered by citing the lion and the honey; and even. then there was a woman in it. For years' beekeeping for women was regarded as an unsolved riddle. To -day it is no puzzle, for both wives and maidens are making money at it. "Sweets for the sweet." No Better Opportunity for Country Girls. A few years ago the writer inter- viewed five women who had made a success of apiary work, and all of them were decidedly of opinion that there was a good chance for a girl or a married woman succeeding in beekeeping if she went about it the right way. Miss Ethel Robson, of Ilderton, said: "For the girl who wished to make her living in the country there is no business that affords a better opportunity than the keeping of bees." Miss Margaret W. Scott, of Meyers - burg, went so far as to say that she believed beekeeping was an oocupa- tion for women rather than for men; that there is much to gain and little to lose in it. ' The Work Suits Woman's Natural Disposition. Miss M. B. Treverrow, of Meadow - vale, observed that women were more and more turning to beekeeping. Much depended upon the individual. The work was healthful, being main- ly out-of-doors during the summer. "Woman's natural disposition, to be careful, painstaking, watchful and energetic has full play in this occu- pation, as there is much to 'interest; to lei n, and to do in the work of an apiary." Mrs. Fred. Ham, of Bath, most de- cidedly thought that a woman could support herself by keeping bees. "She who undertakes to do so should put as much energy, care and thought in- to the work that she would in any other occupation. Her heart must be in it." Beekeeping Has a Fascination • for Female Apiarists. The late Mrs. G. A. Dearman, of Brussels, had a long experience in bee management. She said: "The apiary has a. fascination for the woman who goes earnestly into beekeeping. It is a healthful occupation, for it is large- ly out-of-door activity, and it*gives one a change of work and thought. Some heavy lifting is necessary now and then, although assistance is us- ually available. But a woman must make up her mind to give practi- cally all her time to tne work dur- ing the period of swarming and ex- tracting—say June and July. After that there is bottling, packing, label- ling, etc., • although this may be lightened by selling in bulk, which is the best way atter all to dispose of surplus honey. But for mouths to- gether the bees require little or no attention." Some Apiary Costs. Miss R. B. Pettit, of Georgetown, writing in January last, gives the fol- lowing up-to-date information: "A woman can make it go, if she has sufficient initiative, energy and strength, and lastly if she likes the bees. Interest in tiia ;:;;rk and love of bees must be strong enough to overcome many difficulties besides the inevitable sting. A eight start is advisable, say two or three colonies, until she masters some of' the mys- teries di the hive, and tne general principles of management. It would be well for her to begin with standard equipment—the ten - frame Langstroth hive for brood chamber—but would advise shallow supers, because of their lighter weight. The following list grves estimate of cost for start with two colonies:— 2 colonies bees with brood cham- ber bottom board and cover.. $30.00 6 shallow supers with frames... 11.40 2 complete hives -for swarms.., ; 9.00. 2a lbs. light brood foundation.

'of Bee•Odlteti •.-.3.00 $52.43 Ontario crop reports show an aver- age of about .55 pounds per colony; prices vary as in other produce. The number of colonies that can be profitably kept depends on the wo- man and on the location. Probable Profits. • Miss Jessie' Lees, of Erialso writing in January; says; ',or a -strong woman with nerve ital. de- termination, I consider beekeeping a good healthy occupation. Starting in a small way with two colonies, the cost for bees and equipment for Srst year would be about $150, not in- • eluding workshop. She could increase stock and equipment year by year, according to her means, to fifty Col- onies, which would be enough for .one. woman to handle alone. From that. number :the net return should be $400 a se' --ear. Tills is only approxi- mate, as prices and conditions vary greatly from year 'to year." Male Expert Approves`' of Women as Apiarists. Mr , Moi ley Pettit, of Georgetown, me loirly:' Provincial' Apiarist, says: elThrougin force of 'circumstances entire 'women are 'actual beekeepers 'than^' the records' show. There, is no obstacle in honey—producing that a woman cannot overcome wit kat in- genuity. "—Thos. McGilliy, Sta. . tiatics and Publication $r .
