XTRACTED bony production
le the most satisfactory for
beginners. Start with three
oolonlee and sutflcloat equip-
ment and then make the bees pay
their way. One o.lony does not give
the beginner ate opportunity to right
mistakes or accidents profitably.
Three colonies can be managed by
devoting one evening weekly to the
apiary,
Avoid many troubteeome pitfalls
by starting witb the right hive. The
10 fr. LangeCr'oth hive has given the
best satisfaction in Ontario. All bee-
keepers' supply houses carry this
hive and its parts iia their regular
stock. Buy your first hives from a
good manufacturer. It le very ne-
ceesary to have all hive parts inter-
changeable so than they may be used
in any colony in the apiary, 'Uni-
formity and accurate workmanship
alone can ensure this need.
One complete 10 fr. Langatroth
hive consists of: ---
(1) A bottom board.
(2) A hive body with self spacing
frames and wire.
(3) A telescoping metal roof
cover.
In addition the beginner should
provide for each ,colony one queen
excluder; two extra hive -bodies com-
e piste with frames; and 7 lbs, of
medium brood foundation, which
runs 6 sheets to the lb,, to till the
frames with a guide and foundation
for the future combs.
It is advisable to commence with a
2 -lb. package of bees and queen; a
swarm or a nucleus. 'Less danger
from disease attends the -buying of
pound packages than lite buying of
swarms and nuclei. Pound packages
may be secured for delivery from
May lst to rune 30th, .Early pack-
ages will yield a surplus If carefully
handled, Enquire of the Provincial
Apiarist re disease In your locality
txefore buying swarms, nuclei or col-
onies.
The accessory equipment for the
beginner should consist of:—
(1) A veil of black cotton tulle.
(23 A Standard piee amocker,
(3) A hive tool. ' t
(4) A spur wheel wire embedtfer,
(5) An uncapping knife,
(6) An uncapping box, •
(7) A comiete set of Department
literature, Bulletins 213, 233 and
266, and a good refereuce bee book.
(8) A small honey extractor.
With the exception of Nos, 6, 7 and
8, It is advisable to acquire the ma-
terial needed from a supply firm at
once. The uncapping box can be
made at home, and the beginner
could probably co-operate with anoth-
er beekeeper in securing the use of
an extractor. WIth the increase of
colonies to ten, it would then be ad-
visable to provide a storage eau to
assist in handling the crop.—W. A.

A Successful Farmers' Club.
The history of some farmers' as-
sociations in Ontario has been brief
and filled with troubles. Others have
built upon the rock and have endur-
ed. Why the difference?
Perhaps a very short story will
explain the former case. A farmers'
club, organized by a district repre-
sentative, got away apparently to a
good start, then halted uncertainly
and finally died a lingering death
from general debility. When asked
to explain the reason the represen-
tative gave one—promptly and with
emphasis,
'The club died because the farm-
ers didn't want it, The members
were easily persuaded to organize '
but never took any real interest in
it—they were never really convinced
that it was a vits.l necessity.
"So far I haven't heard any pro-
posal to revive it either, and 1 don't_t
intend to attempt to inject any arti-
ecial stimulation into it. When the
farmers in that district are really
"sold" to the idea of the necessity
of organization, then we'll be In a
position to do some work."
That expiains the first cause of
most failures. Artificial stimulation
serves to carry an invalid through a
dangerous pass, but as a steady diet
for a healthy body It is foredoomed
to failure, A farmers' association
must not bo an invalid; when out-
side stimulation has to be given, It
is a safe bet its days are numbered.
But many others have succeeded,
Work — doing things — le the secret
of their success. They make every
member conscious of the value of or-
ganization in the community. The
executives are enthusiastic, they have
developed progressive policies and
they work to make thein successful.
And work honestly undertaken and
wisely directed will always make a
club or association successful if it
has the right kind of material to
work with.
In the summer, the club ought not
to be allowed to lose Its grip.
How about a herd testing scheme --
has your club taken that tip yet?
Perhaps those members needing
drainage can have surveys made of
their fields, purchase file eo-opera-
tively, secure a traction ditcher, and
if need be, borrow provincial funds
t0 pay a large phut of the cost. elude
less ways present themselves to make
the farmers' association a real force
In every month. Above all, don't for-
get the farmers' plouic--=a little fun
makes the work more efficient —

Agriculture.
