It was Marge's turn to have the Win- ter bridge dub at her place and she had set her heart on giving them the chocolate cake her mother used to make. But what was that recipe? She had forgotten it! And Mother was in the city, fifty miles away. Marge was almost in tears. Then a happy thought. She ran to the tele- phone with pencil and paper.

Cork Dust :end Dried Forest Leav Are Better Insulators Than Wo Shavings or Sawdust—Even Te perature in the Hive Important (Contributed by Ontario Department Agrleuiture, Toronto.)' HE results of the,relati non -conductivity of some be hive `insulating materials a given below as the result tests, 100 being the standard: Very tine black regranulated cor (dust form), 100. Chopped straw, 86. Coarse black regranulated cork, 8 Forest leaves (Well dried), 84. Granulated cork, light or natur color. This is the grade usually use as packing about imported Mala grapes for instance, 84. 8-20 grade granulated cork ($a ural color). It looks similar' to p ceding one but it is a little coarse in grain and lighter in weight, 80.' Sawdust, very dry and from we reasoned and clean lumber, 68. -Excelsior—grade used in packin boxes, 60. Planer shavings, 60, The lesson of this table is that th fine black cork dust is the poores conductor of heat or the best insu lator so far as the resistance of th passage of heat is concerned, an planer' shavings is the best conducto of heat, and therefore the poorest in sulator'of the nine substances tested The tact should be emphasized tha these results do not tell us anythin about the substances except thei power to conduct heat. It may b that if they were tried out as insula then for bee -hives we would arfang them differently than as given above There are other properties beside conductivity of heat that figure. i practice, and a consideration of ties is nay second purpose as announce at the beginning. A good insulating material neces saltily 1s a poor conductor of heat, bu all non-conductors are not neeessaril good insulators in practice, or, at an rate, not always desirable or satis factory. Next to non -conductivity low mosture absorption or the ability to keep comparatively dry In mois weather conditions. Experts Y p is a be keeping say that high moisture con- tent in the hive Is fatal to the bee since it causes dysentery among them. Let us assume that the air in a hive is very moist, say at a nor- mal temperature, and the tempera- ture goes down several degrees ow- ing to inadequate protection or in- sulation about them, and see what happens. The result is exactly the same condition we all have, often ob- served on the outside of a water jug tilled with cold water and set in warm air. Moisture congeals on the outside of the jug, and it becomes cold and clammy and the water drips from it and makes everything else it touches wet. Likewise the dew is formed. The physical reason for these phe- nomena is the fact that cold air can- not hold in the invisible or vapor form as much moisture as warm air r^an Same of the moisture held at high temperature must appear as drops of water at the lower temperature, or In other words there is a rain, and a rain In a bee -hive is a serious mat- ter, but it can be prevented by con- trolling the temperature inside the hive. Herein exists one or the most important uses of the insulation about the hive. Other reasons why an loculation should not absorb mois- ture are that moisture increases the conductivity of the insulation for heat and alto makes it more liable to deterioration and decay, A good es Woo m- od ve: e- re' of k' 5. al d ga t. re - r g e e d i g r e, e a n e, d i Y y is e s old maxim regarding success says 0 i�;YdtM?13st.tuu ,. elf HEN guests come' unexpectedly for dinner, the housekeeper ap- preciates her foresight in maintaining an emergency shelf in the pantry.
