Where honey is sold by grade the grading must con- form to the Canadian standards. The Canadian standards for honey prov- ide a natural classification by color into the four classes: !White, Golden, Amber and Dark. These classes are in turn graded strictly ort the qual- ity basis as 'Fancy, Choice or ;Manu- facturers. The honey grades are es- pecially popular because of the con- sistency of the application of grade terminology to the product when graded, the inherent quality of the honey literally speaks for itself.

Keeping Poultry Accounts. The increased demand for farm egg and poultry account forms supplied by the Poultry Division of the Do- minion Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is strong evidence of the real value to farmers of keeping a consistent rec- ord of revenues and expenditures in connection with the farm flock. -Results of records kept last year show that 92 per cent. of the flocks for which accounts were submitted open tett at a profit, and what is more interesting, the flock average produc- tion for the year was 132 eggs, which maintained a fair measure of profit for each bird. This figure may appear low but it is most attractive when one considers the high cost of feed and the drastic break in the egg market prices in many sections of the Do- minion.

Cate fall and early winter is the ideal time for working in,' the bush as the ground is dry and frozen.and there is little snow to interfere with the w'ork... Many farmers who have been burn- ing coal and saving the goods will be turning back to the bush for their fuel because of the depression. In cut- ting a bush the owner should think of the future more than in , most other farm operations. as cuttings clone_ now may affect the bush 50 fo 100 • years hence, In all bushes that have not been heavily pastured .there are trees whose removal would benefit the re- maining stand. These trees will make excellent .firewood. In most of the bushes selection cutting; should be practised, which is cutting trees here and there through the bttsh. In this way the bush is never broken as seed- lings spring up in the s'ttall openings. Many fine young trees have been cut down duping the pastl two decades to be sawn by the buzz -saw. These trees have just reached ;the stage to put on their maximum wood growth, and often if left five years longer would put on as much 'wood growth as they have in the previous 25 years, The Forestry Branch will send a forester to look over the: bush with the owner and advise hint on its man- agement.
