Mc1+ adyen, of Goderich re- ceived word that his brother Robert had lost his life in the burning of his bones at Oak Bank, Man. Robert Mct''axlyen was o farmer with en ex- terisi* o property at Oast Bank, near Winnipeg, and vase 36 years Of age. News of the District Mr, lien Pelle has sold his 125 acre farm au the 14th concession, Hay, to .Messrs. Leon J. Laporte and Bernard J. Schlichte, both of Detroit, for 12,000. Possession next March. The death occurred "at Seaforth af- ter a protracted illness of Jane Laid- law, widow of the late J.P.Bryne.one of the oldest and most highly re- spected residents of the town. The deceased was born in Scotland in 1879. Daniel Hennicks, Jr„ who went to Germany about two years before war broke out and has been in that coun- try since, has returned to Logan Tp. with his wife and will assist his par- ents on the farm. He says that wages are low in Germans. Walter Simmons, of Wingleam, who was kicked by a horse on the leg several days ago. has taken a turn for the worse, blood -poisoning hav- ing set in. Mr. Simmons is a return- ed soldier and lost one arm in the war. Two well-known residents of St. Marys, died Wednesday evening of last week, Mrs. Thomas White, wife of a prominent farmer of Downie, who has been living retired in St. Marys for the past few years, and Mrs. Wm. Tobin, mother of James and William Tobin. A very pretty wedding took place at St. Marys Church, Brinsley, on Wednesday, Nov. 17, when Dora C. daughter of Mrs. Geo. Lewis, of Brinsley, was united in marriage to Mr. 'William, of Gibson, the Rev. T. H. Whealen, of the Anglican church, officiating. Warren Willard, eight-year-old son of Archie Willard, of St. Marys. was painfully injured while playing around the yard of Haye Bros. Gran- ite works. He got his left hand caught between two cog wheels of a lifting crane with the result that four fingers and part of the thumb were crushed off. Isaac Fisher. of Goderich, had his hand caught in an endless chain which operates a glueing machine at the Goderich Organ factory. One finger was so badly torn that it had to be amputated. The remaining fingers were badly injured. On ac- count of the advanced age of Mr. Fiaher the accident proved a severe shock. Thomas Ribey, who lived at An- derson in the township of Blanshard and one of the most well-known' men of the township dropped dead at 11 o'clock on Friday of last week while at his ordinary work on the farm. The deceased, who is about 60 years of age, was apparently in his usual health. He Ieaves a widow and five daughters, all at hone save one who is teaching school in the west . William Brophy, a Goderich under- taker, met with a nasty accident last week while attending a funeral at Kingsbridge. After the funeral he was turning around in his motor ,ease 1 r _andf iclothes- line. to noticea clothes line. The wire caught him under the chin, causing a severe gash in the throat. An elderly man named Griffin, who was riding with him, had a number of teeth knocked out and was also badly cut'about the face. Only prompt action in stop- ping the car prevented a more ser- , accident. Mr. John Grieve, of Parkhill, ex- M.P.P., for North Middlesex, died at Victoria Hospital, London., on Wed- nesday of last week. He, was in his usual health until the previous Fri- day when he was taken suddenly til end was removed to the horeeltaI, IFC wcs born in Scotland on the Shetland Flilis and came to Canada with hie parcnt4. Mr. and Mrs. Greive, when a hie of ten years of age. His par- ents reeled in McGflivray and he grew to eianbood there. Fie moved to Parkhill about thirty years ago. Hr first came into Public Iffy; when he contested the riding against Duncan f't Ar1Pnr•, who- defeated him. He canteeted the riding again against G or ee Lewis and was elected by a te majority. His record in the House is one of faithful perforuranecr of duty. He was defeated by the U. F. O. candidate, FOR WINTERING ING BEES Some Insulating Materials and Their Appreciation.. oak Dust and Dried Forest Leaves Are Better Insulators Than Wood Shavings or Sawdust -Even Tema perature In the Hive Important. (Contributed by Ontario Departz neat of Agriculture, Toronto.) HE results of the relative non -conductivity of some bee- hive insulating materials are given below as the result of tests, 100 being the standard: Very fine black regranulated cork (dust form), 100. Chopped straw, 86. Coarse black regraaulated cork, 85. Forest leaves (well dried), 84, Granulated cork, light or natural color, This is the grade 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, 80. 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 insu- lator so fax as the resistance of the passage of heat is concerned, and planer shavings is the best conductor 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 may be that if they were tried out as insula- tion for bee -hives we would arrange them differently than as given above. There 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 a poor conductor of heat, but all non-conductors are not neeessarily good insulators in practice, or, at any rate, not always desirable or satis- factory. Next to non -conductivity is lbw mosture absorption or the ability to keep comparatively dry in moist weather conditions. Experts in bee- keeping say that high 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- sulation about them, and see what happens. The result is exactly the same condition we all have often ob- served on the outside of a water jug filled with cold water and set in warns air. Moisture congeals on the outside of the jug, and it becomes cold and clammy and the water drips from it and makes everything 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 temperature must appear as drops of water 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 temperature inside the hive. Herein exists one of the most important uses of the insulation about the hive. Other reasons why an insulation should not absorb mois- ture are that moisture increases the conductivity of the insulation tor heat and also makes it more liable to deterioration and decay. A good old maxim regarding success says, "Keep your powder dry." 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." Of the substances listed in the foregoing list granulated cork, forest Ieaves (if dried for 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 chopped straw unless very well ripened and cured may be objectionable in the same way as sawdust. Then, too, rats and mice are apt to bother it seriously. The insulation must be odorless, else the bees may leave the hives. It mus: be readily available and reasonably cheap, and in these particulars for- est leaves, chopped straw and planer shavings are foremost. It also should be easy and agreeable to handle and pack inpo itio n and not f su b ect to spontaneous combustion. Thirdly, the main reason for insu- lating the hives, especially in the winter season under outside condi- tions, is to conserve the bees own warmth so that they can live com- fortably and not have to eat an extra- ordinary amount of food in order to maintain a normal temperatur'°'e. The bees get their warmth and energy from the food oaten, and it is the function of the hive and the extra insulation to keep thislheat from be- ing wasted in cold weather in the surrounding atmosphere. A second reason is to maintain an even tem» perature in the hive, and this per- tains both to summer and winter, or to any season in fact. The insulation assists in preventing extremes of temperature in the hive as a large body of water does to the adjacent land areas, Another reason, and not the least because mentioned last, is that a good inculating around the hives provides a drier, and therefore a healthier and in all respects a bet- ter atmosphere for the boos than could be possible otherwise. Surely these are sufficiently good reasons why a hive should be protected by an efficient insulation. Flax chaff and a fine excelsior known as wood wool may also prove good insulations for bee -hives. --It, R. Graham, 0.
