Bargain Counter,

"SoFigure for Yourself."
You Can g
Farmer Got Barrel of Replies But Has
Made No Choice Yet.
When Edgar W. North, of No. 823
Do Kalb avenue, Brooklyn,caused to 23
printed a small advertisement for a
wife, he little dreamed there were so
litany eligible women in New York and
Brooklyn. His announcement that he
had a bank account of $8,000 and want-
ed a wife to accompany him to a farm
in Minnesota, has overwhelmed him
replies. So numerous were the candi-
dates that he has been compelled to no -
notify the Brooklyn postal authorities
to
letter
send the belated missives to the t
letter office.
When the letter carrier reached Mr.
North's boarding house yesterday ana
damned the contents of his bag, there
were more than two hundred letters. lie
was none too pleased, for he had spent
nearly the entire night before opening
and sortine mail. The floor was covered
with envelopes and letters and mixed
with them were photographs of women..
"This is about the biggestjob
I e ever
tackled,"remarked Mr. North,
despairing sigh. At the same time he at.
tacked a pink envelope written in a good
hand. It was perfumed with violet,
which caused him to add that he was
not aware there was such an unlimited
uumber of different perfumes. He add-
ed that he was compelled to give his
room a. thorough airing in order to rid
it of the stifling smell.
Mr. North deplored the fact that his
search for a wife had caused such a stir
and added that it had embarrassed him
to such an extent that he had made up
his mind to leave Brooklyn in a few
days. Ile explai ed he was still matri-
monially inclined, but was unable to
make a selection. He shivered when he
thought what the out-of-town replies
might bring him.
Among the missives received were sew•
eral written in German. The writers of
these must abandon hope, as Mr. North
was unable to make them out. About
ninety per cent .of the letters had full
names and addresses, and only in a few
cases did the writer ask the communi-
cation to be regarded as personal.
Some idea of the general tone of the
letters received can be obtained from the
following :
"I am sick and tired of working, and
would love to live on a farm. To -with
the $3,000. I want the man, and he
must have a good position. I am within
the limits concerning age, as I am only
:twenty-seven, and would not like to
die an old maid. Now, I don't want a
fellow with a whole lot of style, but a
good, sensible fellow that will work to
make a hone"
A girl who said she was an artist's
model, writes in this vein :
"I would gladly say that you are just
the fellow I am looking for --a good,
middle-aged Mall with about $3,000. I
am twenty-six years of age, and must
say fur myself I am a good-looking
blonde, with dark brown eyes, good
form, as I have been employed as a
artist's model, eo you can figure for
yourself. I also have• an income of
my out:, am not of a grouchy disposi-
tion and quite lovable."
A widow who sent her picture and ad-
dress in Manhattan, wrote as follows :
"I am twenty-nine, alone in the world.
Amiable and cheerful disposition. Excel-
lent housekeeper and cook ; have no oh
jections to the country. I will not marry
a man that is not affable and a perfect
gentleman: Can give you the very best
of personal references as to character
and capability. Enclosed find a picture,
which will give you some idea of my
looks. I shall not consider a visit, from
you a sign of matrimony. Please return
my picture, if it don't appeal to you."
A writer, who describes herself as a
lonely girl, has this to say :
"Being very lonesome, and in want of
the companionship of some good sensible
man, thought it would be a good oppor-
tunity to receive your attentions. I am
a maiden la y, just past any twen-
ty-fifth birthday, and I am five feet
four inches in height, inclined to be
plump, considered a good dispositioned
girl among my friends. As I am an or-
phan, living most any place I ea get a
tome, would like to settle."

Cooperative Experiment in Control
of Swarming --„Results of 1910,
At the beginning the year 1910,
when the Agriculture Department was or-
ganized at the Ontario. Agricultural Col-
lege fur instruction and experimental
work, steps were immediately taken to
inaugurate Co -Operative Experiments. A
u i blank were
s and application b1a L
sent out stating that the first experi-
ment would be one for the Control of
~harming. Applications were received
for this experiment frotn,ocer three hun-
dred bee -keepers representing nearly ev-
ery County of Ontario, as well as most
of the other Provinces,
This incest gratifying response can be
attributed partly to the wide -spread in-
terest there is at present in the work of
the Experimental t''nion, partly to be in-
terest in beekeeping as a business which
is awnl,ening all over the country, but
more especially to the fact that the par -
Muter engrdritnont announced, "J.`hel
Control of Swanning,” is one ht which
every progressive beekeeper is interest-
ed.
There are three, great problems in bee -
management in this'country, viz„ Brood
Diseases, wintering and Swarm Control.
'While the first two are very real, the
swarming problem eolnes,home to every
bee -keeper whether he realizes it or
not, If his bees build up strong enough
to gather a good crop of honey they are'
sure to develop° the swarming impulse
if left to themselves. If he cannot con-
trol this impulse to swarm, the bee-
keeper must either spend a great deal
of time watching for and hiving swarms
or else lose enough swarms to take the
profit off his bee business, If he has any
other work the swarming° is more than
likely to take place at the mqst inop-
portune time, e.g., when he is busy in
the hay field at the back of the farm,
or when he is on his way to church,
Now all this is very expensive and quite
unnecessary.
There is nothing on the farm which
requires so little care in proportion to
the returns as the bees. This is why
they are so often kept at a loss; be-
cause the care•they need is so small that
it is utterly neglected. They require only
a little attention, but what they do re'
quire they must have. It is to call at-
tention to this bit of work ,and to help
fit it into its proper place among the
other farm duties, that these Co -Open
ative Epreiments are undertaken.
The management of an apiary for hone
ay must be approached in the same bus-
ines-like manner as the management of
a dairy herd for milk. There is no more
"luck" or "chance" in the one than in
the other. Scientific principles govern
both. Failure in either is due to some
definite cause, which must be discovered
atand inemd.astered before success can be at -
One first principle in handling any
live stock is to be -master of the situ-
ation. One cannot get full value from a
horse until it is completely under con-
trol. It is the same with bees. To be a
successful bee -keeper one must be a
bee -master; not in any cruel sense any
more than with a horse. To manage a
horse one must know a horse from A.
to Z. To manage bees one must study
their habvits and disposition, and ]earn
as far as possible why and how they
do things. This takes time, but it is
weir spent.
For the Experimental Group an even
number of colonies is ehosen, preferably
not less than ten nor more than twenty.
is iv1 ed into two equal
The group dd
uniform lots, styled Lot A and Lot B.
Throughout the whole season Lot B is
managed the same as the experimenter
would have managed all his bees if he
had not heard of the experiment. Lot
A is managed according to instructions.
Reports on the experiment were re-
ceived from sixty-two bee -keepers, and
a number of others wrote, saying
that
for one reason and another they were
unable to take up the experiment this
year, but would be in better shape for
the work next year.
The ones who reported are pretty
evenly distributed over Ontario and re-
present all classes of bee -keepers, from
the one•hive man to the man with 250
hives.
It is encouraging to see the interest
taken in this work by the younger bee-
keepers, thirty of the sixty-two expert•
menters have had bees for not more
than ten years.
What might be called full reports
were received from twenty-five experi-
menters. The average number of colon-
ies which these experimenters used in
experimental groups is 11.7, Each group
according to instructions was divided in-
to two tote ,lot A and lot B, having an
average of 5.8 colonies in each lot. Of
the colonies in lot A, 18 liner cent. cast
first swarms. Of the colonies in lot 13,
38 per cent, cast first swarms. It will
be seen from this that while the exper-
imenters coald not be expected to en-
tirely prevent swarming th first year,
they have met with a marked degree
of success in controlling the swarming
impulse, reducing it from 38 per cent. to
18 per cent.
Asa result of this control of swarm-
ing and the extra attention given to the
colonies of lot A, the average return in
honey swa83 pounds per ealony as
against 75.3 pounds per colony of lot
13. Of those who carried the expel imei t
through, ten experimenters said th>,.t the
colonies of lot A are in better shape for
wintering than lot 13. Thirteen said they
could see no difference, and two failed
to report on this point.
Perhaps the most interesting part of
these. results le the report on the bene-
fits derived by the experimenters from
the work. Some of these are the follow.
ing:
"Closer attention and practical ex-
perience." "Your method saves half the
.work, Much more intimate knowledge
of awes." "More system in work:'
watching for swarms."
A full report of this experiment Will
appear in the a.nnnal report of the Ex-
perimental Union for 1010,
The plat for 1011 is to send nut the
same experiment to those desiring It in
called the spring, awl also experiment iso. 2,
which will be for the prevention of nat-
ural swarming in the product ton ot
Ctmb Honey, Persons interested i r this

THE WIDOW'S MITE.
Widow, sister. heritor, humble, hada
gent, lonely. Didst thou leave thy home
to clime the morning steps leading to
the august Presence? Wap the audience
delightful, unspeakable? Didst thou
:import thyself with queenly dignity,
was the stamp of royalty on thy brow,
,pate beauty of the Lord on thy breast,
.he living flame within the SQAI? Was
.hy heart empty as thy Lonely house;
wert thou prepared fur the undivided,
effulgence, the communicable grace,
which Costes to the pure.
i1 was not a mite, but an invisible act
of the mind, which the alms had made
risible. There was something great in
this action, because our voluntary
thoughts aro our true actions,
Didst thou retire after a feast of full•
aces and drop a eoin in the temple chest
in thy simplicity and devotion, with a
heart big enough to give a world? Dit',at
thou see the Master whose ear was the
lighted with the tinkle of the offering?
Re who weighs and measures the acts of
Ms chosen saw thee in thy gentle beau-
ty, well appraised thy oblation, and
made it rank above the costly gifts of
the proud and great.
Tell us, if your humility permits you,
what °notion of yours made your indi-
gent hand let fall for others as Incli-
gent, this part of your aubstance? Open
to tis the sanctuary of the inner life and
unfold the splendor. Show us your sun
ferings, transformed into pity, your mis-
ery giving you to see the misery of oth-
ers. Tell us what gratitude you feel
because God hath furnished you with a
mite; make us read of your surplus
labor, the player which procured it, your
whole life, at once happy and painful.
Admit us to sharp in thea glorious fel-
lowship which you hold in the bosom of
your obscurity with the God of all con-
solation,
In thy presence we will rest from this
passing show, this useleas noise, this
pomp of power.
Our hearts are needy, empty, famish-

THE RETORT.
(Youth's Companion.)
Greatly to the pride and pleasure of
his father, Lord Rosebery's second son,
Neil Primrose, was recently elected to
Parliament for a division iti Cambridge-
shire. During the contest, however, re-
ference was constantly made to Lord
Rosebery's opposition to the budget,
which his son supported, On one ,seas,
ion the candidate was asked whether
this action on the part of his father did
not amount to "hitting below the belt."
"Exactly," said Mr. Primrose. "But when
one's father does bit one it is generally
below the belt."

Narrow Stre.ts of Great Yarmouth.
Great Yarmouth contains what is said
to be the naroweet street in the world,
known as Kitty Witches row, and its
greatest width is fifty-six inches, Its en-
trance would seriously inconvenience a
stout person trying to pass through it.
Tweniynine inches from wall to wall is
nil the room that can be spared in this
part.
Yarmouth is a quaint old• town con•
tanning many streets like Kitty Witches
TOW. ''hey are all called rows and are
more picturesque than convenient. A
hundred and forty-seven of these narrow
streets of a length of over seven miles
in all are to be found in the town.-

FAMILY WORSHIP.
(Wm. D. Lee in Presbyterian.)
This is a busy, buatling age. The
pressure of business life and social
functions is great indeed. We all real-
ize it; and yet there seems to be little
or no relief in sight. Perhaps ono of
the eaddest features of our modern life
is that the good old praetice of having
family worship- is being, alas has been,
crushed out of many a home. Time
in the morning is so limited, 'time iu
the everting is so interrupted, that many
parents in despair have allowed the
practice --the duty and privilege, I
should call it -to lapse with a sigh.
The disintegrating forces in modern
life are fierce and strong; the battle-
ments of the home are being assailed
by numerous foes. Let us erect therein
an altar to God. Let us assemble as a
family at the most suitable time for all
concerned. The morning will answer
some best; the evening will be more
convenient for others; but let there be
some time set. Surely ten minutes
can be set apart, out of tbo one thou-
sand four hundred and• forty minutes
of each day to devote to this purpose,
to the supremo duty any joyful priv-
ilege. Let a passage of scripture be read
aloud by the father or in rotation. This
latter practice, in my boyhood days,
used to be reserved for Sundays, with
the singing of a psalm or hymn at the
(beginning. Then, kneeling down, let
a short but earnest prayer be offered
or read as may be most hopeful and pos-
sible, with confession of sin, with grate-
ful acknowledgement of past and pree-
ent mercies, and for blessing and gold -
ante in the days to come. Such a fan-
ily service will sweeten and hallow the
home life; such a practice as this
made Scotland great as 'a God-fearing
people: such a .:ustom will make Can-
ada great, too, for it is tighteoitsness
alone, family, civic, national, that es•
alteth a nation. Do We want Canada
to be great in God's sight and In man's?
Then the secret Iles here -religion in
the home. Let us make a new effort
to establish or re-establish family wor-
ship, and. then shall we Indeed have
light in our dwellings. God's altar
means Gads worship, and God's Worship
gleans Ood's blessing, and Clod's bleseing
means prosperity. Ana the time to
start is to -day.
ABSENTMINDEDNESS.
