Be Sure Your Queen Is a Good One -- A. Strong Colony• and Plenty of Stores the Next Bequisites—Pay Less 'for Better Bulls. (Contribute& by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) It is taken for granted that the beekeeper has kintroduced a vigorous Italian queen to every colony in which a failing or poor queen was found, late in July or early August. If this has been done and room pro- vided, so that the queen could lay to capacity and the bees still store any surplus honey that might be harvested, then. the -beekeeper is in a fair way to winter the bees suc- cessfully. There are two other manipulations, however, which should be completed to assure suc- cessful wintering. First, unless one has a first-class cellar, it does not pay to attempt to winter weak colonies In the cellar. Weak colonies or nuclei cannot be wintered outdoors with success at any time. All colonies covering less than three filmes,. on both sides, should be united with other colonies. The best way to unite is to place a sheet of newspaper between each brood - chamber and allow the bees to unite without any further attention, except that in a week or two the paper should be removed and the bees left in one hive -body. The second manipulation, and equally important, with having a good qiieen and a strong colony. is the question of the winter food sup- ply. Beekeepers who are willing to make an investment of not less than fifty pounds of first-class honey per colony, are the beekeepers who next season secure the large crops of honey. If the fall honey is not of known quality, then it will be better to feed each colony from ten to fif- teen pounds of sugar syrup, mixed to the proportion of two of sugar to one of water. The sugar should be thoroughly dissolved, but the syrup must not be burned. This syrup should he fed while quite warm in an inverted Mason fruit jar or honey pail with perforated cover; and if fed inside an empty super, with the entrance reduced, there will be very little fear of robbing. Feed the warm syrup in the evening and before the end of September. Then if the colony has 50 pounds of natural stores and is headed by a good Italian queen, this colony will then be in shape to either pack for outdoor wintering or to place in the cellar. In the winter of 1919-1920 the winter loss throughout Ontario was over 50 per cent., yet even in a win- ter when the loss was so heavy, many successful beekeepers wintered practically without loss. It is un- necessary to have a heavy winter loss in bees, provided the beekeepers wile give the seine thought and at- tention to the apiary, which success. ful business men in all walks of life give to their individual business. The office of the Provincial Apiar- ;at, Ontario Agricultural College, auelph, is always ready to assist bee- keepers in any way to make beekeep- ing more successful.' Consult him, if in doubt.—F.

Paying Less for Better Bulls., A survey recently made in con- nection with the "Better Sires— Better Stock" campaign carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture shows ae.gerieral ratio of one bull to every 13.9 cows. Exper- ience, however, in Pennsylvania, the state which leads in the number of bull associations, shows that 93 bulls are sufacient for the 5,604 cows be- longing to members of the bull asso- ciations, or an average, of ,about one bull for every 60 cows, These fig- ures are taken from the bun associa- tion directory recently issued by the Dairy. Division, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. eso If the members of these .emocia- tons owned their bulls individually, at the usual ratio of one bull for every 18.9, cows, thee would need 296 bulls instead of e3. -:Yettbe 93' bulls give the required service as effectively as 296 would do „ and in fact better, because the resulting off- spring are better. The assobiation bulls are of better quality than ethe'. ordinary run of sires privately own- ed, and their daughters are apt to be better -producing cows. Even this does not tell the whole story. After an individually owned sire has been used fer about two years it is usually necessary to get a new one. In eight years, there- fore, these Pennsylvania farmers, if they owned -their bulls separately, would have to provide themselves with four times 296 bulls, or 1,184; whereas in the bull associations at the end of two years they simply move each bull to another block. The orieinal 93 bulls, if they all live and do well, can be used for the whole eight years.- There is quite a difference between the cost of e3 bulls and that of 1,184, to say noth- ing pf tee difference in their use- fulnees. The members of bull associations sometimes pay less and always re- ceive more for their money than cow owners who go it.alone. Clean Thrashing Saves Wheat.

By Strawberry Flats and the Silver Daisy 1—Falls about 5 similes from Hope 33 ---On the trail The little village of Hope, situated on the Fraser River about one hundred miles from the coast, is the starting point for all mountaineers wishing to reach the interior of British Columbia by the trail route. It is a . scattered village of about two hundred inhabitants but possessing both an abundance of natural beauty and a truly romantic Peet. The village is flanked on one side *bylhe noble' Fraser river, while from the other side one Looks up three wide draws in the mountain ranges. The one to the left. is the beautiful Coquihalla valley through which the turbulent Coquihalla river cascades from a pass unmatched for rugged grandeur. Through this pass too, under innumerable snow sheds and tunnels the Kettle Valley Railway goes to Princeton and the interior. In the centre is an opening for the Nicolum river, to the -right is the Silver Creek draw and beyond it the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade rangeli • Te mountain trail over the Hope Pass is the old one known as the Dewdney wbich was surveyed and partly •built for twenty-five mires out of Hope, by English Sappers in 1861. It winds up the Coque:W.1a River for a short distance, then branches off with the Nicoluna. a tributary of the former river. The way lies through 3ylvan glades, past rushing waterfalls and over rustic bridges, the old dry "cribbing" of which is as firm as the day when it was laid. .; The first feeding ground for horses is at 12 Mile Lake -otherwise known as Divide Lake at an altitude of 1800 feet. This lake is the head waters of the Nicolum river. Hera there is a beautiful hay meadow owned by a ;rapper and prospector who is patiently awaiting the lay when the transprovincial road will give him a means )f transporting his wealth,,in the shape of hay, to outside points. , • At 22 Mile there is another beautiful camping spot. Elerii there` is a. large cabin situated in the forest's heart ort' the very, hanks Of the , Skagit river. The owner of it ,taere'kereeen .Prospecting a'aid mining operations in the ricinity.'

Then the trail once more drops down to the next feeding grounds at Cayuse Flats which has a sister spot three milesfarther on—Cedar Flats. Beyond Cedar Flats lies a long strip of heavy_ cedar timber, a true "forest primeval." Strawberry Flats, a pleasant open field on the Skagit river at a height of 3700 feet is the last stopping place before, the actual ascent to the summit begins. Here, in spite of the high altitude, wild straw- berries grow in abundance. In the next 2301feet (of the perpendicular of course!) one is led to the summit by a series of switchbacks zig- zagging up the face of the mountain. The river, which at the foot appeared a torrent, is here a tiny stream, a mere trickle over the stones. Below, the ever -lasting hills unroll themselves for a hundred males of valley and peak. When the summit iteelf is attained a sight never to be forgotten appears. A :wide open meadosv lies in an inverted crown on the 'mountain top. Around its edge rise whitish cliffs scarcely distinguishable from the many snow banks. And everywhere, even beside the snow, grows a bewildering variety Of wild flowers. In the centre of the,. depression lie two lakes, the dividing of the waters, for from the one goes the Skagit river towardsthesea and from the other flows the Whip Saw Creek towards the interior lakes. As soon as the descent of the eastern slope is begun a great change is noticeable. The grade is easy and steady, the country' becomes tnore open and is clear of the under -brush and ferns so characteristic of the western slope. The last camp is twenty miles from Princeton but the last nine miles of that distance are oovered by a good motor road: the beginning of the proposed Trans - provincial -highway from 'Princeton to Hope. About eight mites from Princeton is a wonderfully interesting spot where stratified rocks yielding excellent fossils remediee. are located on the side of the hill. Shortly after this the valleyeopetus out. before one - Princeton snuggled peacefully into a friendly alrcle of hill" and its two rieere, the Similkameen anct-Tulameen, keeping guard over it.
