As rooently as 1916, the Provincial', Department of Agriculture foundlso cause for gratification in a season's prothtotlon of 800,000 pounds of honey, i which was a record for Manitoba up to 1 that time. There were in that year b 450 beekeepers In the province and, in round numbers, 10,000 Colonies of bees. Real interest In apiculture in the province as a commercial pursuit t would seem to date from about that 1 year, and since that tone there has been uniformly an increase in the cumber of beekeepers and In, their out- put. Reached the Million Mark. b In the following year the provincial honey crop reached the million pound th mark, In spite of a lees favorable sea- 1 son than the previous summer, and a lower average per hive, a. large tn- cresis° in the. number of Hives brought the total crop up above that of 1916. It was in that year that other resi- dents of the province than apiarists began to take note of the province's honey production ,and the local pro- duct began to seize the-damestie mar- ket in preference to the imported honey. To -day Manitoba Is in a pose tiou to adequately meet Its own needs In this regard. In 1918 the honey crop of Manitoba was a little lower than the previous year, averaging 64 pounds' per hive, nd making a total of 944,104 pounds, The price, however, was substantially. higher, ranging from 26 cents to 85 cents per pound, In that year 180 neophytes were added to the p1'o- vince's asplarists, making a total of 921 beekeepers In the province, keep- ing approximately 14,786 colonies.- In the following year the provincial honey crop was estimated at 900,000 pounds produced from 15,000 colonies. The year 1920 was not favorable to keepers of bees, and though the num- ber of colonies in the province had in- creased to 2,600, the average yield per colony was only 60 pounds, making a total of 150,000 pounds, which was sold at 36 cents per pound. This was fol lowed by a very favorable season for apiculture, some engaged In the cult reporting productions of close on ten tons. There we in that at year 560 apiaries listed with the Department of Agriculture in the spring, which s i h oh has. g P 8, increased to 14,721 in the fall. These accounted for a production of approxi- mately 903,000 pounds of honey and 5,510 pounds of wax, giving an aver- age of 118 pounds of honey per agony. Honey sold at about an average of 30 cents per pound and the total value of the crop was estimated at about $273,104„ The year saw a 100 per cent, increase in the number of colon- ies. -- Along. the Garden Wall. * Along the garden wall they stood, - The hardy, unkempt brotherhood Of 'floral outlaws no one heeds, Contending sorely with the weeds -- Tho sunflower,bold In beggar pride, The coxcomb, strutting at his side, The pink, the jolly hollyhock, The slumber -loving Were -clock, As vain a crowd of mendicants As ever viewed the world askance, Rude vagabonds to me and you, I3utgay of heart and bright of hue To Baby's eyes—she could not see That they were blooms of low degree, And so she loved them, playmates all That beckoned by the garden wall, Next Rimae try the finest grade-- " RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR.

EASY TRICKS X -Ray Eyes The trickster asks a spectator to shuffle a pack of cards and to select a, card, holding the cards face down to that neither he apr anyone else can see which card be selects. Without looking at the card, he puts it face down in an envelope weicb the trickster seals. The . trickster holds the envelope at arms length and de- clares that, with X -Ray eyes, he will look through the envelope and name the card within, He names a card and opens the en- velope to disclose the card he named. The trick is largely In the en- velope. This is prepared, really two envelopes being used. One envelope is pushed into the other and the flaps are paated together. If this is neatly done the envelope will not seem to be prepared. Be- fore the flaps are pasted together, a card is taken from the pack and put in the outer envelope between the second envelope and the front of the first. The selected card goes into the inner envelope. The nap is sealed down and most of the trick is done. The trickster names the card he put In the en- velope in the first place and opens the envelope by tearing a hole in the front. While the card is be- ing examined he absentmindedly Vets the torn envelope in his pocket. There he exchanges the torn but prepared envelope for one which is torn but not pre- pared. As all eyes are on the card this will pass unnoticed if done deliberately and as if thenghtlessly, (Olip this out and paste ft, 001225 other of the wrier, in a scrapbook.) Opportunity.
