Some Atlantic fishermen say:— "Where you see swordfish you may know that mackerel ale about," Cor- oilarially, if this be so, where you know there are mackerel, you may look with assurance for swordfish. Fishermen who seek the swordfish aiff our Nova Scotia coast, as well as scientific men, will hardly support this statement. While the mackerel snake their appearance early in biay, swordfish are seldom Aitken until Aug- ust, so that if they are seeking the mackerel :for food they're a- b;t late .unless they expect to meet the schools on their southward migration. The swordfish does appear to fol- low the same course as the mackerel up the Atlantic coast and Professor Goode would intimate that along the New England coast they follow quite close upon them. 'The fishermen of Nova Scotia spear the swordfish. A platform, special- ly built and elevated upon the .bow- sprit, gives the observer, who is also the spear .thrower, a commanding po- sition. It swims near the surface, allowing its dorsal fin to appear above the water, as also the upper lobe of the caudal. It frequently legps out of the water, and none of all the fishes of the sea can swim more swiftly or is more agile in its move- ments. The observer when be sees 'the fish breaking water, must be quiets to throw the lanes. When the weapon does go hone the fisherman must prepare for a lot of work( be- cause no creature 'of the deep has such n pugnacious disposition. It is played out and finally hoisted on hoard. The same method of capture is employed in fishing the trona or horse mackerel on the Nova Scotia coast. The swordfish derives its name from the fart that the bones of ihe upper are consolidated d ntul onto an elongated sword. This is its chief weapon of attack: The teeth are wholly wanting, -there are no ventral fins, while the second of the two fins on the back is reduced to a sliglrt.fin- let. The pointed head, the fins of the back and abdomen snugly fitting In- to grooves, the absence of ventral fins, slim, muscular body, adapt the fish for swift and 'powerful progres- sion. Professor Richard Owen, testify- ing in a British court as to the power of the swordfish, said: "It strikes with the accumulated fore° of fifteen double handled hammers. Its velocity is equal to that of a swivel - shot, and is as dangerous in' its ef- fect as a heavy artillery projectile,' Professor Goode adds: "Many very curious instances are on record of the encounters of the fish with other fishes, _or of their attacks upon ships. What can be the inducement for it to attack objects so much Wester LONDON Fir SEPT. 10th to 17th Seven Full Days This Year The Popular Exhibition of Western.

Swordfish are common on both the European and American shores of the -Atlantic, They do not breed on our shores, but probably do so in the Mediterranean end other waren seas. They undergo great change m the process of development, The very young ones have head armed with rough spines and in no wise re- semble the adults. The swordfish -is available in the Canadian markets most plentifully during months of August unci Sop. tember. As a food fish it is one of the best, its dark -colored, oily flesh nhcticing excellent steaks. . Its aver- age weight •is three hundreds pounds with a maximum of six hundred and twenty-five Pounds, and it attains n length of fifteen feet, Nova Scotia fishermen in 1919 cap- tured fish of the species to the vtifue of $90,017, representing a weight of 741,100 pounds, It was praetieal,y all marketed fresh.

If this land is kept in forest it will help our farmers, manufacturers, merchants, carriers and workingmen. But if the forest is destroyed, the land will become a barren' desert, streams will dry uu, and business and industry will be injured. The chief foe of our forests Is fire. Most fires are caused by carelessness, 'there- fore let all who go into the forest be careful with fire. SCHOOL FAIRS.

(Contributed by Onturin 1.)0partnlent of Aa'rloulture, Toronto.) It is taken For greeted that tee .beekeeper has intreduced'a vlgorotts Italian queen to every colony in whleh a failing or poor queen was found, late in July or early August. If this has been dole and room pro- vided, so that the queen could lay to capacity and the bees still store 0,4 surplus honey that might be harvested, tben the beekeeper is in a Lair way to winter the bees sac-• eeesfully. There are two other manipulations, however, which should be completed to assure sue - celeste! wintering. First, unless ono has a first-class cellar, it does not pay to attempt to winter weak colonies in the cellar. Weak colonies or nuclei cannot be wintered outdoors with success at. lefty time. All colonies covering less than three frames, on . both sides, should be united with other colouies. The best way to uulte is to place a street of newspaper between each brood - chamber and allow the bees to unite without any further attention, except that in a week or two the paper should be removed and the bees left in one hive -body. The second manipulation, and equally important, with having a good queen and a strong 001011y, in the question of the winter food cup- ply. Beekeepers who are willing to snake an investment of 1101 less than arty pounds of first -clues honey per colony, are the beekeepers who next season secure the large, crops of Vanity. Il the fa.11 honey is not of known quality, then it will be better to feed each colony from ten to fif- teen pounds of sugar syrup, Mixed in the proportion of two of sugar to one of water. The sugar should he thoroughly dissolved, but the syrup must not be burned. This syrup should be fed while quite warm iu an. inverted Mason fruit jar or honey pail with perforated cover; and if fed inside an empty super, with the entrance reduced, there will be very little fear of robbing. Feed the warm syrup In the evening and before the enol of September. Then if the colony has 50 pounds of natural stores and is headed by a good Italian queen, this colony will then be in shape to either pack for outdoor wintering or to place in the cellar. In the winter of 1919-1920 the winter loss throughout Ontario was over 50 per Bent„ yet even In a win- ter when the loss was so heavy, many successful beekeepers wintered practically without loss. It is tie - necessary to have a heavy winter loss in bees, provided the beekeepers will give the same thought and at- tention to the apiary, which success- ful business men In alt walks of life give to their ,individual business. The office of the Provincial Apiar- ist Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, is always ready to assist bee- keepers in any way to make beekeep- ing more successful. Consult hiur, if in doubt. F.

Paying Less for Better Bulls, A survey recently made in con- nection with the "Better Sires— Better Stock" campaign carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture shows a general ratio of one bull to every 18.9 COWS, Exper- ience, however, in Pennsylvania, the state which leads in the number of bull associations, shows that 93 bulls are sufficient for the 5,604 cows be- longing to members of the bull asso- ciations, or an average 0f about one bull for every 60 cows. These fig- ures are taken from the bull associa- tion directory recently issued by the Dairy Divtsfon, United States Depart- ment epartment of Agriculture, If the members of these associa- tions owned their bulls individually, at the usual ratio of one bull for every 18.9 cows, they would need 296 hulls instead of 93. Yet the 93 hulls give the required service as effectively as 296 would do, and in fact better, because the resulting off- spring are better. The association hulls are of better quality titan the ordinary run of sires privately own- ed, and their daughters are apt to be better -producing cows. Even this does not tell the whole story. Alter 'an individually owned sire ]las been used for about two years It is usually necessary to get a new one. 1.0 eight year's, there- fore, these Pennsylvania farmers, it they owned their bulls separately, would have to provide themsehvea with four times 296 bulls, or 1,184; whereas in the buil associations at the end of two years they simply ,tnowe each hull to another block. The original 93 bulls, if they all live and do well, can be used for the whole eight years. There is quite a difference between the cost of 98 bulls and that of 1,184, to say noth- ing of the difference In their use- fulness. The members of bull associations sonletiines pay less and always re - calve more for their money than cow owners who go it alone. Clean 'Chrashing Saves Wheat. bletnbers of the farm bureau of Ktttson County, Mtn., last year sav- ed $77,000, or Meant $500 to each thrashing machine, by using tight - bottom racks, canvas under the feeder, cleaning up when required and after each setting of tie ma- chine during the thrashing Beason.

That is why Ontario adopted a "Close Season" and the "Permit System" for setting out fire. But, remember, whether you have a permit or not, you are responsible for damages caused by any fire you light. Be careful— Sat, tare 's Forests They're •yours The "Close Season" for setting out fire in Northern Ontario is from April 15th to September 30th. During that time within the Per- mit Area no one may set out fire for clearing land, disposing of de- bris or other inflammable waste, or for any industrial purpose, without first obtaining a written fire permit from a Fire Ranger. This applies not only to settlers but to railway section chews, camp and mill crews, road builders, including Govern- ment employees, and all other per- sons. When starting fire for cooking and camping, the law requires that a place be selected free from in- flammable materiels that every rea- sonable precaution be taken to pre- vent such fire spreading and that it be thoroughly extinguished be- fore quitting the place. The "Close Season" applies to all Ontario north of Bobeaygeon and Smith's Falls and west of the line from there to Renfrew. The Permit Area includes those parts of Nipissing, Sudbury, Temis- kaming and Algoma lying north of the O.P.R. between Mattawa and North Bay and north of the C. N. R. westward to a point some 35 miles beyond Hornepayne. The remainder of the Province forms the Exempt Area. Within the sparsely peopled Exempt Area no permits are generally issued, but those setting out fires in the "Close Season" are required to exercise every reasonable precau- tion and a Chief Fire Ranger, if he deems it wise, may serve a Pro- hibitory Notice and require a per- son to take out a permit. The Fire Ranger does his best to follow the happy medium be- •tween the desire of the settler to "get a good hum" and the require- ments of Public Safety. help him all you can.
