Isabella Preston, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawte IIELPING TO PREVENT HONEY SPOILAGE (Experimental Farms Note) Spoilage of honey by fermentation is caused by the action of yeasts which are able to act in the presence of the high percentage of sugar found in honey. Considerable study has been devoted to this question at the Central Experimental Farm, and it has been found that fermentation depends almost entirely upon two factors, the moisture content and the amount of infection • by yeasts. Consequently the better ripened the lot of honey is, and the greater the cleanliness eyereised, the less likely will the honey be to ferment during storage. AlI honeys contains yeast it sonic, extent, Some of this infection is doubtless carried by the bees with the floral nectar, but the beekeeper by the exercise of precautions at the time of extraction to work with well cleaned and preferably sterilized nt ensile in a clean extracting house, is able to control much of the contan, ination and help obtain a product safe rfom spoilage. GOOD LATE SUMMER AND AU- TUMN FLOWERS FOR THE PERENNIAL BORDER (Experimental Farms Note) It is easy to have bloom in the Perennial Border in spring and early summer, but after the delphiniums are over there seems to be a lack of flowers in most gardens. At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, we try to have something in bloom all seasons. Yellow eoreopsis and brown and yellow gaiilardia will bloom all seasons if the seedheads are cut off. Draeocephnlum has a purple flower and blooms in August. Sedum spectabile and ire varieties are pinkish and bloom late. The foliage is bluish green and quite at- tractive all sntntner. These are all suitable for the front of the border A useful pink flower is Lnvatera kashmeriana (L. thuringiaca Siber- ian form is similar). It grows 5 to 6 feet and blooms all duly. Sidaleea also has pink flowers and a long season of bloom. There are several varieties and all are useful. Monarda clidyma, "Oswego Tea," is growing. The Monkshoods (Aconitum) are all useful late suntmor blooming plants. The flowers are blue and shaped ,like a hood. The foliage is dark glossy green.

At the Division of Bacteriology a method has been evolved by which an examination of the freshly ex- tracted honey will indicate whether THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUS- LY WRONG Evidence which is coming to light in the trials of the convicts for riot- ing at Kingston Penitentiary does not make, or should not make, very 'pleasant reading for any Canadian citizen. Penitentiaries, we know, are places of correction. Their inmates are per- sons who have broken the laws of tate country to a greater or less extent and atonement should be made for the crimes committed. No one expects that an inmate of a penitentiary should be treated in the satno manner es a free man. Far from it. But a convict Is a human being and should be treated as such, even in a penitentiary, If the evidence produced at those recent trials is true, or even if a fraction of it ie true, it points clear- ly to the fact that humanity plays no part in the treatment of the In- mates in at least one of our govern- ment institutions. It points clearly to the fact, toe, that an investigation of the manage- ment of these institutions is long overdue. Twenty years solitary confinement, brutal beatings and abuse, have been charged by inmates and to date nr official denial of Stich conduct on the part of guards or those responsible for discipline has been made. ' Something is seriously wrong and the people of Canada want to know what steps, if any, are being taken to remedy the trouble. The Govern- ment has been silent too long. --Iiuiron Expositor A Ivan named Wood, who prided hitnself on his smartness as a puns- ter, one day met a friend called Stone. "Good morning, Mr, Stone," said Wood pleasantly, "and how is Mrs. Stone and all the little pebbles?"

Pt. Dover, Ont. btu FAIRY FESTIVALS In the heart of a little forest, Of cedar and pine and hemlock In a tiny, grassy, flow'r-stared glade There stands a massive rock, Its surface is just as smooth as glass And white as driven snow, While round its edge and up its sides The tiny mosses grow. Now, friend, if you have knowledge, If you 'understand elfin lore, You will have guessed nlreacly, 'Tis a fairy dancing floor, Oh how wonderful to see the ball! The glade silvered with moonlight, The graceful, swaying dancers, With their gay wings shining bright. Ansi to hear the pixy music, As their banjos they gaily strum The wail of the leprechaun's violin, The boom of the night hawk's drum! The flying feet of tho dancers, Scarlet lips, and flashing eves While their merry laughter echoes Through tate wood until sunrise! Then the dancers fly to blossom -.beds, The music dies away Not a trace is seen of festivities, When the birds usher in the day, But, alas! mortals ne'er may see it— The dance 'neath the pale noon's rays The world I'd give to sec. -them, Whirling there in a giddy mate! But we know when babies smile in their sleep, And laugh aloud with glee, That they hear the elfin music And the fairy dancers see. —Violet Fremlin l A ,TEW;EL BOX Miladi has a jowel box, And 'neath it's lid doth lie, Full many a rare and lovely gem, Sapphires, blue as the sky, And flashing, glowing rubies; Diamonds, pale and cold, Dear little pinky seed -pearls . And rings of brightened gold. But I know a darling baby Ills more lovely jewels than she, Each time she parts her ruby lips, The tiny pearls We see. What sapphire can equal, A baby's azure eyes? And no diamond flashes brighter Than the tears that in therm lie. No ring, however precious, Ever shone with gold as rare, Or so carelessly was tumbled As our baby's golden hair. And baby has a lovely voice— Sweet as a silver bell, Our baby is a jewel box Made of jewels we would not sell/ --1Violet Fremlin. eta AUGIJST Across the gap made by our English hinds, Amidst the Roman's handiwork be- hold Far off the long -roofed church; the shepherd binds -- The withy round the hurdles of his fold, Down in the foss the riverbed of old, That through long lapse of time has grown to be The little grassy valley that you see. Rest here awhile, not yet the eve is still, The bees are wandering yet, and you may hear The barley mowers on the trenched hill, The sheep -bells and the restless changing weir, All little sounds made musical and clear Beneath the sky that burning August gives, While yet the thought of glorious summer lives. Ah, love! such happy days, such days as these, Must we still waste them, craving for the beet, Like Lovers o'er the painted images Of those who once their yearning hearts have blessed? Have we been happy on our day pf rest? Thine eyes say "yes," -- but if it come again, Perchance its ending would not seem so vain. —William Morris. THE SONG MY PADDLE SINGS West wind blow from your prairie nest, Blow from the mountains, blow from the west. The sail is idle, the sailor too; 0! wind of the west, we wait for you, Blowy, Blow! I have wooed you so, But never a favour you bestow, You rock your cradle the bills be.. tween, But scorn to notice by white lateen. I stow the sail, unship the mast; I wooed you long but my wooing's past. My paddle will hill you into test 01 drowsy wind of the drowsy west, Sleep, Sleep! By your mountains sleep. Or down where the prairie grasses sweep. Now fold in slumber your laggard wings For soft is the song my paddle sings August is laughing across the sky, Laughing while paddle, canoe, and I Drift, Drift, Where the hills uplift On either side of the current swift. . The river rolls in its rocky bed My paddle is plying its way ahead, Dip, clip, While the waters flip In foam as o'er their breast we slip, And oh, the river rens swifter now, And eddies circle round my bow. Swirl, swirl, Itow the ripples curl In many a dangerous pool awhirl! And forward far the rapids roar, Fretting their margin forever more Dash, dash, With a mighty crash, They seethe, and boil, and bound, and splash, Be strong 0 paddle, be brave canoe! The reckless waves you must plunge into Reel, reel, On your trembling keel, But never a fear ray craft will feel. We raced the rapid, we're far ahead! The river slips through its silent bed Sway, sway, As the bubbles spray And fall in tinkling time away. And up on the hills against the sky, A fir tree rocking its lullaby. Swings, swings, Its emerald wings, Swelling the song my paddle sings, NO LUCK The day was last Saturday and he was a stranger in town, but he neve ertheless recognized the Province of Ontario crest on the windows of the Provincial Bank.

Mr, Savigny looked startled but had pre, senroe of mind to tell the stranger as gently as possibly that he was in a government bank—not a government liquor store.
