THE WINTERING OF
BEES
(Experimental Farm News
With the approach of winter the
'beekeeper is faced with the problem
of how to prepare his bees for the
winter so that they may survive the
Gong cold months ahead. There are
three main essentials for the safe
.wintering ' of bees: (1) a large force
of young bees, (2)' a liberal supply
of good food, (3) adequate protec-
tion from cold and changeable weath-
er, failure to provide any one of
-these is to nullify the benefits of the
others, states the Dominion Apiarist,
C. B. Gooderham. To' secure a large
fosse of young bees it is imperative
that every colony is: (1) headed with
r gnrolific queen. during the autumn
.months (2) thatthequeens have suf-
ficient room for maximum egg pre
duction and, (8) that the bees have
an adequate food supply, As it is far
better to find living colonies with a
surplus of food in the spring than it
' is to find them dead of starvation,
the winter's food supply. should be a
liberal one. No. colony'should be
put into winter quarters with less
than forty pounds' of food. not in-
cluding the, pollen, which is also es-.
•.senttal for good: wintering. Any ex-
cess of forty pounds is further in-
.surance against starvation.. The,win-
-ter's food should consist of either
-first quality honey or syrup made by
dissolving two parts. of white granu-
lated sugar in one `part of. water. If
:the latter•lis •,used':itr•must";be lisinem
bered that six pounds of sugar made
into syrup only furnishes about five -
and one-half pounds of stored food.
Protection is secured by placing the
bees in cellars or outdoor packing
cases. If one has a good cellar by all
means use it. If not, use packing
cases. A good cellar is one that can
be kept dark, well ventiliated and at
a uniform tempearture of not more
than 45 degrees Farenheit throughout
the winter. A good packing case is
one large enough to allow the colon-
ies to be ,surrounded with the neces-
sary insulating material and which
will keep this material dry. A good
windbreak on at least three sides of
the apiary is an important factor in
protection for outdoor wintered bees.
Excess moisture is deadly to bees, es-
pecially while they are confined in
winter quarters, hence it is important
that this moisture may escape not
only from the colony itself but also
from the repository in which the col-
onies winter, be it cellar or pack-
ing case. More detailed information
may be secured by, writing the Divi-
sion of Extension and Publicity, De
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, for

OBITUARIES
JAMES MILTON ELSLEY
It was with deep regret that the
people of Londesboro learned of the
passing. of Mr, James. Elsley on Sun-
day, September 1st, ]V Ir. Elsley had
been in his usual health until about
a month before his death, but it was
not until two weeks before he was
called home that his illness was
considered critical. The deceased
had lived the greater part of his life
in the township of Hullett and the
last 20 years in Londesboro. Mr.
Elsley was born on Nov. 24th, 1862
at Waterloo and was one of a fam-

was a regular attendant when pos-
sible. He was a member of the ses-
sion of the United Church of Lon-
desboro. We can only remind the
mourners that he is not dead, he is
only sleeping resting after a long
and well spent life here; he cannot
and would not if he could, return to
us; we can, if we will, go to him.
Behind the storm cloud always lurks
the rainbow and when the storm is
past it weeps upon the flowers of the
land and the pearls of the sea, and
sofrom the beauty of. his life take
an inspiration and go forth to live
as he lived, so that when the sum-
mons comes, you may say as he did,
"All is well."
The funeral which was attended by
a large cortege of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends was held on Tues-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. The ser-
vice being held at the Londesboro
