Dominion Car and Truck Tires at Special Prices • EPPS SPORT SHOP Headquarters For All Sporting Goods 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.

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."
