Its load of nectar extracted from the flower is therefore corres- pondingly orres- taondin ggI tight. A ecientiet ascer- ined that the average load weighs about one -twelve hundred and fiftieth of an ounce -a quarter of the bee's weight. Thie mettne that 20,000 journ- eys (reckoning the outward and in- ward trip as one) are necessary for theatherin g g of a pound of nectar ; but as flower -juice loses at least one- half of its bulk before it becomes hon- ey, it follows that the production of a pound of honey involves on this reck- oning a minimum of 40,000 journeys. If we assume that the average trip out and home measures half a toile (a low estimate), the immense distance of 20,000 miles must be covered in gath- ering the raw material for a pound of honey. This is equal to 1,250 miles per ounce. - Huron County' Public Library Concert at Dungan. non January 22nd. Reeve Munninge, Goderich, had a majority of 278 over Wm. Baillie.
