The inportanco of a good wind- break canna be over estimated where colonies of bees are wintered' put of doors, einco, for protection %rem the Prevailing winces, it is as essential as packing, Although well -packed, colonies which are subjected to o heavy wind blowing on them for a few hours will have their temperature reduced con- slderably; in fact, well -packed colon - les which are exposed to the Bald winds may die while those'having less packing, but better protection from the winds will survive. When we think of our own houses in wind.ewept areas and of the difficulty of keeping the temperature up in the best construct ed ones, we will appreciate the net- essity of providing adequate protec- tion from cold Winds for our colonies. Windbreaks may be natural or arti- ficial, and the artificial ones may be either temporary or permanent. Na- tural windbreaks aro considered to be the better, For good natural protec- tion the apiary, may be located in the lee of a grove of trees, young timber, an evergreen hedge or on a side hill slanting from north to eolith,..aline; the top of which a hedge or fence is located, Artificial windbreaks may be terns, porary fences or hurdles, such es are used by the railroads, in which the boards are placed horizontally with intervening spaces of 1% to 2 inches.; They may be permanent fences in, which the boards are placed vevtioaliy, with the above mentioned spacing be- tweeze thein, The object of the open -I Ings between the boards is to, allow, some of the wind to. pass •througb, thus preventing a tendency to rise and' roll over the fence top into the apiary Tho height of these fences should he, approximately eight feet and if peas! sible, placed on all four sides of the' apiary.

But they forgot to In - elude in the ration enough mineral matter to replace the lime that the production of milk took out. The lime in her body was thus drawn upon with serious results, This' le just an indication of the importance of diet, Every day investss gators are finding the relation of feeds and feeding to' the normal and abnormal donditions of life. Just the other day,; the papers indioated that tuberculosis was due to the lack of certain vitatnines in the food, The lack of iodine is known to cause goitre. Insufficient mineral matter is proven to cause scurvy and other diseases. Lack of certain elements in food is said to cause cancer. Time will un- doubtedly indicate that practically all of the abnormal conditions of life have their foundations in wbat we eat, breathe or drink. So, apparently, to the farmer's wife, who has the health and happiness of her family at heart, the study of diet is most important, And to the farmer, who has any kind of live stock to feed, the study of feeds and feeding is a vital matter in the success ho has with his stock. Even the man who grows "just crops," the study of plant feeding is a very important subject. So it seems that all who live should make this a subject of consideration and study.

Thus, the working day is shorter for the working man, suggest what one should do with his time this winter, but we write this suggestion regarding the use of leis- ure as a reminder that it .can be wasted, it can he worse than wasted, or it can be made useful, helpful. and interesting.
