Protection from __frost is essential, yet the temperature meet not be high enough to permit growth, From thirty-three to thirt•y- eight degrees, Fahrenheit, may be con- sidered the ex.treme range. Ven- "a- tilatioe is necessary, esp.ecially during the first:week or so of storage. Soon - after hai-vest, all classes of roots lose certain amount of moisture' by eve- poratlon, or, as it is commonly known, sweating. If' an adequate circulation of air has not been provided for this, moist -ere will condense and form wet places, thus making f‘avbrable -Situa- tions for the growth of moulds and other fornis of plant life that may,. directly or indirectly, cause rotting. If, oif the other hand; too much ven- tilation. is given during dry weather, ' excessive evaporation is encouraged with a consequent wilting of the vege- tables. During cold weather, the ven- tilation must be Controlled to avoid freezing. Light should be excluded as it not oray promotes growth but depreciates the keeping and eating qualities of the vegetables. Broken, bruised or- diseased' epeci- mens should net be stored with healthy ones, es they will in -variably rot first and, in so doing, generate hent, which .. will help spread tefection that may cense serious loss before it is detected. The above, although constituting the general principles' for winter storage, do not meet the requirements for all classes of vegetables, as the different kinds will not keep equally well tinder the same cenditionse, Accordingly the common -vegetablee may be grouped, as to their storage tequitements, as follows: Horse -radish, parsnip and salsIfy are not injured by freezing and may be left in .the .ground until early spring. It is, however, practically im- possible to dig them out of the etezen ground during the winter ands -fox -this' reason, other methods of storage: are preferable. Of these, pitting is prob- ably the most satisfactory., When cold • weather is about to set in the roots are placed in a neat, conical pile on a . well -drained site and. covered with ,straw to a depth of 'six or eight inches. After the roots have stopped sweating, the straw should be covered with four er five inches of earth. Where a tee or more a the crop is to be stored in one pit, ventilation shafts should be provided. In a pit Of this nature, the -roots are, not likely to freeze, but if • they do, they will not thaw again until late in the spring as 'the straw and earth act is an insulator. This class of vegetables may also be stored in a good, cool cellar, if.space is availeble. Potatoes, turnips, beets and.careots . all require similar storage conditions. They may be satisfactorily store' d in -vvelleconstructed,p1ts, with a coverieg sufficiently heavy to prevent frost in- jury, but, as a general rule, the best etorage, piece is a.ytell ven.telaeed, yet -frosieproofe cellar. &knell quantitiee may be kept in good condition by being -packed In moist sand either in, the cellar or in any place where frost or a temperature above foety degrees may be avoided. Cabbegee, although not injured by a light freezing, are usually of better quality if untouched by frost after harvest. Dry air and temperatures are very injurious, as cabbages wild eas- ily. Fonthis reason, out -door pitting is , very satisfactory. The cabbages are pulled, leaveng the roots on, piled In a conical pile, with the heads dowel, and covered with straw and earth in the same manner as the pet deecribed for parsnips. Where extremely cold 'weather occurs, an additional. covering of straw and earth shoend be added ae late ,in the season as possible. • Cab- bages, may also bo stored in a 'moist cool cellar. - Squash and pumpkins differ from • other vegetables in that they should be etored in a dry place " where the teamerature may go as high as filtY • degrees, An attic or an unused room in the house is usually quite satisfac- tory, providing the 'temperature does net go below the freezing point. Onions require much the same con- dition as pumpkin aad squash, exeept that the teinpeeature intest be kept comparatively low, yet ebeve freezing. Celery is probably the most difficult of, all vegetables to keep throughout. ;the eatire winter: It May be. stored in an 'outside pit, but ie better trans- planted late in the fell, into rnoiet sand; M a dark cool cellar.

Ewes with unsound mouths, injured udders, or faulty type should either be put in the fattening g pen or sent immediately to market Raising turkeys is one thing, mar- keting them profitably is quite an- other. The fnarketing problem, despite the fact it is usually looked uPon as one of simplicity itself, is a problem of no little importance, for here rests the harvest, much or little, for ihe season's -toil. Turkeys, whether sold for breeders at a fancy price or sold to the mer- chant for Thanksgiving or Christer/as trade, should have, some special care along about the first of October. In either instance they should be kept on range as long as possible for health, but given very different care other- wise. , Turkeys of good breeding—that is, purebred stock ----are always in good demand for breeders. Keep such turkeys on range as long as possible and feed very little fattening food. A diet of wheat, corn and millet is good, given very sparingly to avoid an over - fat conditions. Unless such grains are of fleet clasp quality, thoroughlY ina tured and free of sap _arid mold, it Is better to toast them in an oven to a light brown before feeding. Fat, it is well to remember, is an objectionable feature in breeding turkeys. TurkeYs for the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade should be fat, yet pro- ducing tide fat eanclition and savieg the turkeys is not an easy mattet, for it is well to temember no fat ,turkey is long a healthy one. 'To produce a at turkey, therefore, and at the same time a healthy turkey, one must bring about this fat coedition by degrees, and not abraptly. Exercise is essential for health, therefore such turkeys should be kept on range as long as nevelt& and given eattenieg foods, such as corn, for a period of two or more months, gradu- ally indreaeing the amount fill turkeys show peospects of getting fat by mar- keting time. „ To fled a slow leak in tire remove The Experimental Farm " System. . Much interesting and valuable- in- formation is contained in the report for 1923 of the Director of the Domin- ion Experimental Farms, Mr. E. S. Archibald, 13.A., B.S.A. It tells in concise and condensed form Of the,do- ings in ins of the fourteen divisions Of Which the Central Farm at Ottawa Consists, of the twenty-three branch Farms axle= Stations, of the half dozen Substations in. Yukon Territory, in Northern Alberta, Northern British Columbia, -and Northern Quebec, and of the Illustration Stations, the nusn- ber, of which was iecreased during 1923 from 89 to 125. There were, when the report was prepared, six Illustra- tion Stations in Prince Edward Island, fifteen in' Nove Scotia, seventeen in New Hrunswiekt thirty-five in Quebec, seven in Ontario, twenty in Saskat- chewan, twelve in Alberta, and thir- teee in British Columbia. In every instance these Stations are established in districts where it is considered they: will be of most assistanca to farmers. With every province having its Farms or Stations extending east, weet, south, and to the opened -up districts of the north, it will be seen that the Do- minion Expeehnental Farm System penetrates to all the confines of the country.

To secure the fit young bees, a natural fall flow or an artificial flow produced by feeding is required to stimulate brood produc- tion. If ample stores are lacking, they . . must be provided by feeding. The feed supplieemay be either a honey ora sugar syrup, and in making the latter none but the best of. white ;granulated sugar should be used. For stimulative feeding,a light syrup of approximately one part honey ,or sugar to one part water is best. This syrup may be given to the bees in various ways, but the one most generally used is the honey pail meth- od which consists In inVerting a 5 or 10 -pound honey pail of syrup over the frames, the cover of which pail has 3 or.4 holes in it pierced by a fine nail. . Colonies wintered in cellar should -weigh 60 to 65 pounds; without hive 'cover, and those wietered outside 70 to 76 pounds. Any deficiencies should be made up by feeding one pound sugar for every pound lacking „in stores: The syrup given in this case should consist of 2 parts sugar to one part water or 5 part honey to one part water and should be fed from 10 - pound honey pails, as above described, each pail having 40 to 50 small nail holes in the cover. Fee may be given dither hot or cold. When fed hot, however, there is a greater danger of granulation but the syrup is more readily taken down by the bees. Feeding should be doxie about the fleet of October, as rapidly as possible and in the evening to avoid dice turbanee. , • Illustration Stations in Ontario _ The Illustration Stations conducted under the Dominion ' Experimental Farm.system are being constantly ex- tended in number. Last year especial attention was paid th Ontario, seven Stations in all being established, two in Eastern Ontario, at Bourget, Rus- sell county, and Curran, Prescott county, and five in Northern Ontario, all in Temiskaming county, namely at Cochrane,.

The identification of varieties of apple trees, previous to bearing, hoth the character of the leaves, is being undertaken, by the ElOrticultn,ral or the Dominion Expeqn,ental Par= Branch, according to the;report, of the Director. Up to th/present tithe, it has been found passible to identify s xteen varieties 10 this way, system whereby the variety may be determined from the leaves of the tree, and without waiting for the fisait, will be of great practical value to the „ orchardist as well as ta the nursery- man. It not infrequently happens that trees prove untrue to name when they come into bearing. By the sys- tem referred to, it will no longer be necessary to wait -for live to eight years until this stage is reaehed, but the young orchard may be gone over the year after plant,ing; and uratrue varieties discovered. By the same method the nurseryman may positively identify his stock and thus prevent loss and disappointment to purchasers. The Economy of the Silo. The elle is the cheapest and most efficient coarse fodder storage build- ing that can be used on the farm. A ton of clover or corn, field cured and stored in the farm barn requires at least 400 cubic feet of space. The Barrie quantity of corn or clover would occupy but 50 cubic feet of silo space. The -storage of 50 tons of clever or core made up as dry hay or core fod- der would require a barn 4.0'x80'ac16', costing not less ellen. $11200. The same quantity of fodder inade up as silage could be stored in a tile 10'ac30', cosi, ing less than $200. With silo filling operations nearly conepleted for thie year the lessoa of economy of storage space has been denionstrated once more. Under brders, The orderly officer was making his rounds.
