During the latter part of April re -- port forms were .sent by the Depart went of Agriculture to a large Mut- bet- of beelteepors is Ontario. These were Oiledoutand returned and the following,eureraary of the winter 1oes, condition of the bees and honey crop prospects for 1010 taken from them. Nine•bundred and ninety-three bee- keepers reported 57,317 colonies in the fall, and 31,$14 colonies in the spring, showing a winter loss of 0,607 colonies or 10,1%. This was largely due to the unfavorable breeding season of 1014, causing many colonies to go into win- ter quarters with, large numbers of old bees; oleo to the poor quality of the stores, causing granulation, which gives unfavorable results, as in diet. riots where much sugar syrup was fed in the fall, the Iosses were comparat- ively email. This is the heaviest winter loss re- ported for some years, and if we were to judge by last year's crop failure following the lightest winter loss re- ported for years we would expect a bumper crop, In considering these reporte. it must be remembered that only one in seven who received the blanks sent reports, aim that the inclination is not to re- port failures but only successes. One hundred additional blanks came back with the statement that the sender was "not a beekeeper" in many cases having lost all of his small apiary without giving numbers which could be used in making an estimate. It has also been learned that some ex- tensive beekeepers have lest heavily without reporting in the regular way. It seeme•that either the wintering prc- blem bas not been entirely solved, even by the specialist, or else be is not always putting all his knowledge into practice. The colonies that survived bad an early cleansing flight and brood rear- ing started during the warm spell io April. The first reports received indi- cated that the bees were in a weak ccndition, but reports that arrived later show the bees to be building up rapidly and in fairly good condition. The honey crop prospects vary con- siderably in the different districts, Iu the southern counties, the clover is re- ported in good condition and the pro- epecte extremely bright. The crop out- look about the Georgian Bay is only fair, Farther east, Ontario and Vic- totia counties—both condition of bees and crop prospects are poor. In the extreme east the early reports were bright, but later ones show spring dwindling and a darkening prospect of the honey crop. It is impossible to determine with any certanity the honey crop prospect at this date as a late frost or a pro- ongcd dry spell might cause serious loss, but generally speaking while the winter lose is discouraging, the rapid- ity of the building tag of the colonier, the great quantity of pollen collected and the generally promising appear - mace of the clover crop would indicate a favorable season for the 1 eekeepers who have wintered their bees. Judging by the heavy winter lose, however, and the crop failure of 1411, there does nct seem to be much dan- ger of an over production of honey this year. . The Cultivation of Corn. The Agricultural Gazette in a recent number contained much important matter relating to the cultivation of of corn. "By the aid of science," the G Tette says, "great progress hies been made in extending and improving the corn crop in Canada." Ina thirty yeare the yield has increased from a little over nine mini to buebele to nearly seventeen mi'i,or. In 1893 the yield of fodder corn was 1,019 524 tone. Twen- ty years later, or in 1913, it was 2 610,- 300 tons. Increase and improvement were noticeable in almost everyprovin- ce. Relat ivo to the argument sometioae.• advanced that Canada is situated too far north for the production of corn, Dr, M. 0, Matte, Dominion Agrostolo- gist, says that while there are districts in Canada where Indian corn could and should be -grown to the ' greatest ad- vantage, there areth s lso a thousands of square miles where profitable growing would be very difficult. After diet- ing that the quality of the ensilage produced by a cettain variety of coo would be the factor which should guide the farmer in his choice of seed, Dr. Malte says that the experience gained by the Experimental` Farms demon• titrates the wisdom of increasing the acreage of early, varieties rather than of depenIiug on large yielding la -e sorts for the desired tonnage. The Oanedian Seed Grower,, Assn - titillate has given special attention to the corn crof,, partieut$riy to that grown for ensilage. All experitnerne and research indicate that the great treed of ensilage growers is a supply of esed corn of etrong vitality and of a Variety and strain suited le. the condi- tions under which it is to be grown. l4tauitoba is not much given to corn growing, but the fodder favorites are the Longfellow, N.nt '.Western Dent and North Dekota Fil-,t, Of the husk - Ing varieties the choices are N rtive or Squaw* cora, Gehu Yellow Flinn Free Preee and Quebec or Canada Yellow, the last mentioned being a little later than the others, Iu S iukatcbotvan and Alberta the varieties favored ars about the tame as in Manitoba.

I supplied Vinol to her liberally and hale month when she returnedto thank me I hardly recognized her, She was strong, her color caarming and her s.heeks rounded out, These words are uttered front my heart, in oder that more people may know about inol, as there rs nothing snakes me happier i:; the world than to relieve the sick."— Mother M.

Howard Contains Many Interesting Entries. "On the morning of the 25th— Christmas Day ---I shot a deer and some quail at the rear part of High Park, near Bloor street," say an en- try for 1837 in the diary of the late John G. Howard, printed in a quaint old volume which Mr. W. C. Wilkin- son, secretary of the Toronto Board of Education, recently unearthed in his library. Mr. Howard, one of the most notable characters in the early history of Toronto, is best remember- ed as the donor of High Park to the city, He kept a daily Journal of the doings of Toronto in the early days, and in 1888 published the gist of it in book form, nowa rare :volumewhiche a very few Torontonians are so fortu- nate as to possess. Mr. Wilkinson has, besides the printed volume, an nett}al yelµme of the diary from the year 1843 tp 1855 is Mr. Howard's handwriting, and so rich is it in lit- tle itorep of interest, personal as well as historical, that Air. Wilkinson intends to leave it to the Provincial Archivist, Tee item about deer and quail hunting in High Park ie,not the only ono of interest, From the date of his emigration to Canada in 1832 to his death, Mr. Howard's life was full of event, In 1832, with his wife, he set sail on a small ship for Canada, taking eleven weeks and three days from London to York (Toronto). On landing on Canadian soil some- where in the gulf, Mr. Howard said: "At first we walked about with great caution, expecting to see wild beasts and reptile.•, I shot a grouse, a dozen snipe, etc., picked a quart of wild gooseberries, and lost about a pint of blood by the mosquitoes and sand flies." He arrived in Toronto at six in the morning, on Sept. 14, 1832. Mr. Howard was a trained architect and surveyor, and expected to find em- ployment at once from the Canadian Government. He experienced many hardships, however, until his worth was made known, and then he de- signed most of the houses of Toronto; and later, as City Engineer, erected most of the civic buildings, including Queen Street Asylum, the old court- house and jail, the old market, and most of the bigger buildings on Front street. "The Lord Bishop Stewart, of Quebec, called to pay hie respects to Mrs. Howard, who was busy washing in one corner of the kitchen. She took her handy out of tics wash tub and the bishop shook hands with her." "In 1833 1 built Dr. Widner's cot- tage on Front street, Thomas Mer- cer Jones' villa on the corner of York and Front c.treets, Chewett's Build- ings, and the 13rittsh Coffee House, where' the Rosein House now stands." "In 1834, the firs' Mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, employed me as City Surveyor, and I put down the first 11 -foot plank sidepaths-on King street." "On Thursday, Dec, 7th, 1837, 1 led the right wing of the scouting party up Yonge street to attack the rebels, who had congregated at Mont- gomery's Tavern." AlI this time Mr. Howard was busy putting up scores of residences, shops, and institutional buildings— and taverns, "In 1842, built two stores on King street, Nes. 103 and 105, with Ger- man silver Basher, end plate glass. No. 103 was built of tbe nest white brick used in Toronto. I gave the brick - maker £60 for 20,000. They wore of claynn • `• ''In 1842 I shot a bald eagle flying over the cite."

Quebec Leads the Doiulnime nu. Production. When the cliap who spent the past few day{ visiting his old come up country brought Isle newspaper par- cel down to the oiiice, rile you get your Chunk of forest confectionery': "Sap's runnel', sap's runniu' "—has been the welcome call throughout tee province, Ontario produces a trifle over 5,000,000 pounds against nee.rly 14,500,000 pounds to the credit of Quebec. The lower prov- inces lag behind with another been million pounds, and exhausts the tale of this Industry for the Douse- ion. There are about 55,000 Cana- dian maple auger producers, And their picturesque if strenuous labors represent an annual valuation of Al- most two million dollars, says •-a writer in A receiit.issue of the To. rout() Star Woekly. The best maple "milker" is the wide -rooted, tall, leafy -crowned tree --bulged out like an umbrella-- such, as the naturally growing forest maple. That accounts for Quebec's record, her bush lots have not all been cut into for cordwood. The season generally begins around the middle of March, scarcely ever last- ing halfway through April. Fuel for boiling the sap Is a big Item, the average requirements being 10 cords of mixed hard and soft wood for 1,000 trees. Once the great pine forests of all Old Ontario was plentifully diversi- fied with maple bush. Generations of original settlers and farmers have thinned both out woefully. Happy the Ontario farmer who to -day can boast his bush lot of even 300 or 400 sugar maples. It's the same as money, Places in Ontario around which there still remain Important sugar -making activities are Troy, Gowanstown, Cargill, Moira, Lafon- taine, Waterloo, Rednersville, Wrox- eter, Cookston, Bloomfield, Martin - town, etc., but there's scarcely any county where some tapping has not been going on this spring. In the small bushes they are still employ- ing mploying "old grand -dad's way" of years back. Warm days and cold nights are best for a good ruu. Into the half -•inch auger -hole, about three feet from the ground, goes the "spire' on which the pail is hung to catch the sweety flow. This metal spile was a hollowed out sumach branch in old times, and deprives the modern farmer of much whit- tling and pith -poking for winter evenings. The greatest improve- ments are noted at the bush 'kit- „ "evaporator" then. The replaces the old-fashioned boiling pot that turned the sap to sugar, and the latest -improved evaporators are quite elaborate and thorough In their get-up.. Sometimes two of these flat, broad, sheet -iron affairs are used, the sap entering the first or "warmer," and passing after fil- tration to the second or "evapora- tor," steadily flowing in, a shallow, down -grade stream past alternating copper partitious, front side to side; when the sap reaches the far end the head of the fire below will have tura- ed it into a thin syrup. 'Ibis is re- moved and filtered and set in shapes to "grain" or solidify into sugar; while the drippings therefrom are collected below and bottled or can- ned and labelled "maple syrup— warranted purer" The man with smallbush does th a not need to make a "business" of it—generally the small fry attend to the whole thing, from tapping - to sugaring down, with his female folks putting on the final touches that help at the nearest market. The fire -tender needs patience. Some- times he works under a rude roof of hoards, oftener not, he's generally content with a sheltered, "warm," hollow in the bush. Elliot Lost the Race. Brother offi:crs of Col. Elliot, of the Second Canadian Contingent, tell the following story: Major ,J. H. Elmsley, now second in command of the Royal Canadian Dragoons at the front, when general staff officer in this division was known to be a man who never lost his temper. When Col, Elliot joiue 1 the staff, he quick- ly gained the same reputation for evenness of disposition. The other officers began to wonder which would lose his temrer first, and the affair developee into a game in which every can on the head- quarters staff took r. lively intend, When the staff went to Niagara camp two years ago, the work be- came strenuous encngh to try the nerves of any man, yet Elmsley and Elliot were still tied in the raze for, the laurel for coolness in times of. stress. The • game Contained and each day when tate officers sat down together at dinner, Maj. -Gen. Lessrrt would ask: "How's the race? IHS either Iost his temper yet," The an- swer continued , in the negative for weeks. Ono days, however, something happened. Cot. Elliot was forced to say "damnation" and the race was declared over, much to the anluso- ment of the other officers._ MAIL CONTRAf;T1 *BALED T[4NDEneg, addressed to tlrte Postmaster q}er{erat, will be re- eeryed a' Ottawa until N inn, on T're- ay, the 2gth of June, I915, for the oonyeyince of Hip Matesty's Malta, on a proposed Contract for four years, B3,thues per week each way, between luevale Post Office and Grand Trunk Railway Station, from the 1st of October, 1015. printed notices containing further information as to conditions of pro- posed Contraet may be erten and blank forms of Tender may 1-e obtained at the Post Offices of T3luevale.
