THURSDAY/ October 12th, 1893 SIGNS OF PROGRESS. 1 It ] atm estate, d) tirlltsili were the sub,. o e,, o t. ;lea;leanet tea serious, to. lt,�i„ tett to thegess. imistic croakin.gs of scene opposition jo'urtrt':'rt in .reward to the condition of this country. And were it not that arse and ireagg•erated statements go abroad where there may be no means of contradicting them, it would hardly Le worts while paying any heed to the unpatriotic detractors of Canada. aur ranters aro too intelligent to be car ii d essey by'uuli lullitieal clap -trap; and when the hour arrives for the elegneste tr= p'U thole votes on the side of tecoa gc; eminent and in support of a policy that makes for this country's prngress and prosperity, there is little• doubt on which side the vast majority of our community will be • found, At the same tune, it is well for our readers in. this fanning district to keep before their miucts a few sellout points, in which they occupy a superior position to their neighbors on the other side of the line and for thief they ought to bt profoundly thankful. Farmers of- ten spear: of low prices for their pro - duets, and of heavy taxes payable for municipal and other purposes; but if tley WOnld ingr enm"^.r ?totes with il err xepablicau .-,.ttenh;ry, they will tad that the relative position of the tat countries puts Canada at the top of the ]adder. Look, for example, t at the magnificent exhibit which Ontario presented at the. World's Fair -where Canadian cheese captured 95 per cont of all the premiums, leaving the other five to the rest of. the world. Then in regard to live stock and other agricultu_ rat products, our winners ft.om Ontario nearly swept the boards -one of them taking as much as a thousand dollars premiums, and another the gkold medal in addition to several first and second prizes. United States farmers who attended the World's Fair were surprised beyond measure at the Ca- nadian exhibit; and on -conversing with Ontario farmers as to the prices of wheat and other products, as well as of farm implements, it was found that the advantages were all on the side of Can ada. The mortgage indebtedness in certain banner States, such as Illinois and Iowa and Indiana, was reported to be enormous -and continually increas- ing, whereas in Ontario we understand that mortgages are being reduced, and the deposits in the government Sav- ing's Banks steadily increasing. Ac- cording to the last official bulletin,there were four million dollars of an increase in the deposits of the chartered banks in August last, over and above the previous year of 1892. And even though the price of certain farm pro- ducts, such as wheat, is lower than during past years -a 'fact which is eas- ily explained, when we think at the immense crops of grain in the North West territory -still our farmers pay much less for articles they consume, such as tea and coffee and sugar, cot- ton and woollen fabrics, &c., than they did ten or fifteen years ago. We say Canada is a cheap country to live in - besides, it is a country where law is faithfully administered, where the Sab- bath is respected, and where morality and temperance prevail among the great body of people. We have' no lvnching'schemes, no negro or Indi an troubles, no strikes between capital and labor, fie huge bank failures, no serious riots requiring the intervention of police and military troops; and we live under a constitution which secures both civil and religious liberty to every citizen of the Dominion. -Our motto. should be that of an ancient Roman: "Este perpetua". HOME RULE -WHAT .NEXT? The almost unanimous rejection of Gladstone's Home Rule Bill for Ireland by the House of Lords has naturally evoked bitter opposition on the part of the Liberals. Gustin McCarthy affects to be confident that the final passage of the measure is only a question of short duration. But there is much to say against such confident boasting. England has not yet become se demo. cratie and so revolutionary as to back Mr; Gladstone in his present cry or "Down with the Lords"! The British Premier forgets that he has often pub Rely professed hie belief that the Upper Ouse is House a necessary part of the con- stitution, In fact, it has more than once on great political issues proved to be a Safety -valve to counteract dena- gogueisrnoSome 'Violent party leader, as in the present instance. But aside altogether from that point, who and the Noblemen that cenetlttite the greet ra b a ,]i. •orty of thee who voted_to re' Home 1LJ.ame Rule' in Ireland? What are their sate - of i,L .s ere n . iManyr a 1c e ?e d_tv m I d a is the o t *loin Gladstone himself nounivated to the 'Upper House in, the course of his present or past administrations. Many of them hold or have, held the • highest position in the gift of the Crown•=sueh as Colonial governorships, eminent ju- rists and administrators of great State department, leaders in all moral and industrialreforms: Besides titose civil lords of the realm, whose position • and stake in the :ouutry remoye them far above political excitement, -there are the Lords spiritual, the Bench of .Bis hops from the Archbishop of Canter- bury down, wlicsc religious training and ouiture make them second to none in the Upper Chamber, and who all to a man voted in rejecting Mr. Glad - stone's Bill, Should the present Prem- ier be spared long enough to advocate the abolition of the Upper House in Britain, what would to ke its phaco? Could he devise a better representative body, one more adopted to mediate be- tween the popular element and the Soverign? Would an elective Upper House meet the difficulty? But we need not surmise or speculate upon what may ueyer happen; and we have ev ery reason to know that in the opin- ion pinion of the British eleetorate,in the three Kingdoms, the House of Lords now stands higher than ever because of haying saved the Empire from a na- tional cataclysm.

The next convention will be held in Clinton, the date to be decided by the Executive Committee. - THE APIARY. Tho General "Roundup" After Swvarnelog Is Over—Queeuless Colonies. After swarming is over and the flow from white cloyer is passed in the inte- rim following its blooming and that of Call flowers, a general "roundup" of the apiary is in ardor, says Mrs. Harrison in her beo notes prepared for The. Prairie Farmer. There is a colony that has swarmed itself to death. It has a laying queen and about a pint of bees while the combs are full of honey and pollen. Here is a swarm hived upon combs at nearly the end of the honey flow. It has plenty of brood, but -little honey, and if a comb of it is exchanged for one of honey both will be benefited: It may be wisdom to extract the honey from some of the combs of the colony that is depleted by swarming and exchange one of these oombs with a populous cclony for one of sealed brood. The queen of the populous colony will soon fill the empty comb with eggs and. be no detriment to the colony, while the young bees will soon cover the comb in the other hive. Combs of brood should not be given to the depleted colony fast- er than there ere bees to cover it. If there are eight combs in the hive, four combs of sealed brood will be sufficient, and as there is a young, vigorous queen and plenty of honey it will be in good condition for the fall flow and for the following winter, The queen of an afterswarm is always young and =fertile. She does not go out for fecundation until her rivals, if any accompanied the swarm, which is often the case, are destroyed. When she is the acknowledged queen, she flies out on her excursion. Occasionally she is wrecked by some accident or devoured by birds and fails to return. When a queen is lost during the swarming, the bees immediately return to their old home, but do not after they are estab- lished and have acknowledged a young queen. When she does not return, the bees sing a mournful dirge and hunt around the entrance. At this juncture let a queen enter the hive, and no questions will be asked as to whether she belongs to a good family or is capable of performing her duties, but the band plays a tune of welcome, she is affectionately welcomed and royal food given her. The cry, "We are saved!" is heralded quickly through the colony, and listless idleness gives way to activi- ty, and workers are off on the double quick to bring honey, pollen and water. If eggs or larvas are furnished such a colony, the cry is heralded. If no such aid comes to their assistance, the colony must eventually perish. In this general roundup the operator must depend largely upon his good judg- ment as to what is best to do. If a case of sections is discovered upon a colony where there are but few bees and only partially completed, it should be trans- ferred to a colony having plenty of work- ers to complete it during the fall flow. Every effort should be made to have as many sections completed as possible, as those partially filled cannot be marketed, and to have every, hive with plenty of bees to stand the following winter. It does not pay to try to winter a small colony you may feed and tuck up; and all you will have In the spring will be the hives and empty combs, and those could be had with less work .and ire far better condition. Do not wait until the honey season is past, but before the fall flow unite afterswarms which contain young vigorous queens with queenless ones, and if there are any colonies of lit- tle :blacks, not much larger than flies, re- move blieir queen and, unite them with anafterswarm containing ayoung queen: Corn Fodder. Being impressed with the fact that in many sections of Maryland there was much valuable food material going to waste, which if properly preserved would save the expense of purchasing hay and also enable farmers to keep more stock, a feeding experiment was undertaken at the Maryland station to test the most economical method of preparing and utilizing corn fodder and determining the digestibility of various partsof the plant. ' These experiments, which were conducted during 1891-2, form the sub- ject of a bulletize 'recently issued from the station. Here is a summary of the reported results: First -All parts on. the corn plant contain valuable food -materials, the dry matter hay - lug nearly the same composition. Second -Tho corn stubble and husks contain 60 per cent of the total digestible matter pro- duced by the plant, arid the blades only 11' per cent of the total digestible matter. Third -Corn husks or shucks captain 72 per cent of digestible matter. Foin'th•-Corn stubble' or butts contain 66.5 per cent of digestible matter. Fifth -Corn blades or leaves contalrt 64,2 per cont of digestible matter. Sixth -Topped corn fodder (stover) contain 55 per tett of dtgestible matter. Seventh -There is more digestible matter contained in the corn fodder from one acre than In the corn ears from one acre. Eighth -Tho corn fodder, or stover, from one e a r c , yields ela r aS much digestible matter as two tons of timothy hay.
