Let us go," the girl said, but fee a moment she paused and put out her hand, while her eyes were very tender, and it seemed to Clayton that he could for an intent see vaguely a familiar white form, upon the head of which the hand rested, but he knew that, of course, this was but fancy, and that what he saw was but a wisp of the mist that was rising frcm the ground, Then, without a backward glance at the old house that already was but a heap el glowing embers, ,they posse down the path to the water, while on every side the mocking •bards were greeting. with solig the first golden rays of the fain that seemed to have paused stn instant before its Swift leap above the edge of the sea..

Virginia's hand fell lightly uponhis arm, drawing him :away. "Let us go," she said, and shuddered as with deadly cold.

Dimly he heard Virginia's desperate, urging cry—The dog --shoot the dog!" Almost leisurely, it seemed, his mind took up and examined this command. Kill Bingo? Why?

There are at least half a dozen meat dishes frequently served at our best Hotels and restaurants, under attrac- tive French names, which are in reali- ty guineapig. Nor, prejudice aside, is there any reasonable objection; for gnineapigs are mighty good to eat. In Italy they are esteemed a great delicacy, and most of the peasants of that country keep then for food, just as we do chickens. They are hardly less ap- preciated in France. No animal is cleaner, and they will under no cir- cumstances eat anything thatis foul or spoiled. At the present time guineapigs aro being raised to some extent for their fur, which is vory fine and silky. Some difiiiculty was found in curing and tan- ning the skins, but this has been over- come. We think of guineapigs as short -haired animals, and there are even woolly guineapigs. The English have long pursued the breeding of guineapigs on scientific principles, and it is they who have de- veloped nearly* all of the fancy hods. In the United States the Cavy Breed- ers' Association devotes its attention exclusively to guineapigs. The proper name of the guineapig is cavy. How it got its common de- signation is uncertain. Imagination might attrbute to the animal a cer- tain likeness to a pig, in miniature; and it is said that in the sxteenth and seventeenth ventures cavies sold 'in England for a guinea apiece. The animal is of South American origin. Early Spanish explorers in the northern Andes found guineapigs do- mesticated in the homes of the. na- tives. They took a few pairs back with them to Europe, whence the little bees'3 were eventually brought to our own country. Gu:neapigs find their most impor- tant usefulness in medical labora- tories, where they serve all sorts of experimental purposes—as, for in- stance, for testing and standardizing typhoid, tetanus and diptherta anti- toxins.

Favorable Conditions in the Prairie Provinces for Honey Producton on Large Scale. Western Canada is Inevitably as. i•achted with grain growing and live• stock production, wills huge wheat fields and vast cattle herds. Other ag' riouilurai pursuits being considered so relatively unimportant, they are of- ten eliminated from coli hl laden. Then, too, it is it prevalent conception, borne out' by experience to some ox• lent, that the farmer devoting himself to either or both of these agrlcullural lines has sufficient en his !finds 10 1(1' raipy all his time and attention. The basis of this trend of thought could be discovered itt the old belief that the west was not adapted to the pursuit of the bender phases of agriculture, and just how erroneous this conten- tion was has been proved ie recent Years by the gratirylne success /nada in fruit growing tuui outer side lines in the prairie provinacs. With the exception of Brtisll Colum- bia and Manitoba, beo•keeping in tha west can hardly yet be said to have Sin- dustry, the status of a prosperous thoush the great interest aroused of late years would Indicate a more general following or this in- teresting breech of farming on com- mercial lines. What 11:1.4 been icadis- ptttably proven is the adaptability of the prairie provinces to successful honey production, end that every western hunter can profitably hand;o a few hives for his own domestic cou- sumplirnt. Canadian Honey Unsurpassed. Canadian honey is unsurpasad in quality by that of any country, Ow• Ing mainly to the warmer summer and abundance or nactar•prodneitug dowers until frost, the average yield per colony 14 greeter than in the British Isles. Bees can be raised uud honey produeed ns successfully h1 the west as in the east. The natural bloom of Alberta throughout the season af- fords abundant food for tiro bees, and the alfalfa fields of the Irrigated dis- tricts of the smith and clover fields of the central and uerthcrly sections give adequate supplies, of nectar and Pollen for countless hives. In British Columbia, conditions aro naturally ex- cellent, especially in the fruit dis- tricts, and honey production in the Pa- cificprovince is increasing yearly. In Saskatchewan, apiaries are success- fully operated in many parts of the province, whilst Manitoba is fast forging ahead as one of the leading bee -keeping provinces of the Domin- ion. In the latter province farmers and others are entering the industry extensively, and in many parts apiaries are to bo found_ where tons of honey are produced annually. Experiments carried out by the government experimental farms dis- covered the following net value of pro- duction per colony of bees and honey in the different p.roviuces:—Brandon, Man., $3.27; Indian Bead, Sask., $11..83; Lethbridge, Alta., $16.49; La- combe, Alta., $12.79; Invermere, B.C., $13.26; Strnlnterland B.C., $11.81. Production in British Columbia. The production of British Columbia in 1919 was 344,580 pounds of honey, there beng 1,865 beekeepers and about 10,000 colonies in the provinece Mani- toba in 1918, with 921 keepers and ap- proximately 16,000 colonies of bees, produced 944,104 pounds, or 64 pounds per hive. In the Kootenay district of British Columbia alone last year, 231/4 tons of honey woe produced, the aver- age surplus per hive being 50 pounds as against 38 pounds for the whole province. One Sloean Valley farmer had 0 surplus of 2,100 pounds from three hives.proo Aa a f of the adaptability of the Alberta climate to bee raising and the profits to be derived therefrom, the experience of an Edmonton farmer ntay be cited. Starting out six years ego with a foundation swarm of nixed bees, he managed, by importing hogh-bred queens, to so improve his swarm that in a few years he had an almost pure-bred strain of Italian bees. Ho keeps from ten to fifteen hives and disposes of the increase in the spring or fall. In the year 1919, the nice hives he possoseed in the spring increased during the summer to twenty -ono, and the honey pro, duced, lees that required for winter feed, was 27 pounds, which sold at from 85 ceile to 40 cents per pound. In 1.018, the record of production from this apiary was 100 pounds per hive, or at prevailing prices, a revenue of $40 front the honey of each hive. i Beekeepers Associations, Everything goes to show that bee culture and honey production are on the increase throughout the west, The Manitoba Beekeepers Association, ere tatblished in 1903 and reorganized in 1914, had 921 active members, in 1918 With 15,000 Colonies of bees; .and the Beekeepers Aseociatioi of British Columbia, 1,188 members with 13,800 colonies, There Is also a Kootenay Beekeepers' Association, Bees in the country require very little attention, and there is no branch of farm activity which renderreturns in ouchro or - p P tion to the caro required.
