The 'wise shepherd in phenning his
crops for the year has regard to the
needs of his flock. He recognizes the
great advantage of providing not only
a variety of foods, but a succession of
succulent crops the season. through, Bul-
letin No. 12, "Sheep Husbandry in Can-
ada," published and issued free by the
.live stock branch at Ottawa, takes up
this, subject in a practical and thorough
manner. Under special crops for sheep
it deals with clover, alfalfa, vetches,
rape, cabbage, turnips, mangels, corn and
the several classes of grain. Each is
treated separately in regard to method
of cultivation and manner of feeding.
Dealing with vetches the bulletin says:
"Vetches, or tares as they are also
called, make excellent fodder for sheep,
either as a soiling crop or as cured hay.
This crop inuch resembles peas in habit
of growth, and requires about the same
kind of 'cultivation. Its vines are more
slender than pea vines and stand up bet-
ter when grown with a stiff variety of
oats. Vetches are grown extensively
for sheep feed in Great Britain, and to
some extent in Canada for the same pur-
pose. The writer, while raising sheep,
always grew a small area of tares with
oats for oiling the show flock, and in
case of a shortage of clover vetches were
cured for hay. The crop being fine in
vine and very leafy, is much relished by
sheep, and Constitutes a rich diet.
"Two varieties of vetches are grown
for fodder. The common vetch is the
chief sort cultivated, but the hairy var-
iety is receiving some attention. The
latter produces the heavier yield, but so
far th seed having to be imported is
very expensive, and few care to bother
with it.
"The soil for vetches should be clean,
mellow and rich- The seed may be sown
in drills or broadcast. A good seeding
for either soiling or hay is about three
pecks of vetches and four pecks of oats
per acre, The vetches are ready to feed
any time after the crop comes into blos-
som and before the seed commences to
ripen. For soiling the crop may be haul-
ed to racks, or be distributed on the
sod of a pasture field as soon as cut, or
it may be allowed to wilt in the swath
for a few hours. Vetch hay is made in
much the same manner as clover or tim-
othy is handled. Vetches may be pas-
tured by sheep, but this is a wasteful
practice, as much of the crop is destroy-
ed by tramping."
Sheep raisers who do not already pos-
seas a copy of this bulletin would do well
to order one from the Live Stock Com-
missioner at Ottawa.
Toronto despatch: The annual spring
hejira of the hobo clan is not chron-
icled in the movements of the fash-
ionable four hundred, but is none the
less keenly watched by the police.
During the month of Marcn last no
fewer than forty-one of these gentry
were deported by the Dominion author-
ities to the United States, where they
came from. The Provincial author-
ities have no power to deport, but are
co-operating with the Dominion of-
ficials. The Provincial men round
them up and hand them over to the
Dominion officials.
The favorite points of entry into
Canada for these tramps are Niagara
Falls and Windsor, and the majority
of the forty-one were caught at Ni-
agara, one Provincial constable land-
ing fourteen of them. They came
from all over the United States and
enter Canada at night, riding the
bumpers of freight trains. It has be-
come so bad at these points that
train crews have grown afraid to go
over their train.
GRAIN RATES,
United States Trunk Lines Trying to
Get Canadian Trade.
Montreal, April 'll,—tJni,ted States
Trunk lines operating from Buffalo
to Baltimore, New York, Boston and
Philadelphia have inacle a further re-
duetion in grain rates from the lake
ports to ocean steamships. That the
cut is made simply in order to capture
the Canadian grain trade is shown by
the fact that rate schedules which ar-
rived in Montreal to -day from New
York state the reduction is on grain•
from Fort William only. The rate on
American grain remains the same.
At the offices of the Grand. Trunk this
rooming, however, it was announced that
their rate lied also been cut.

Co -Operative Experiments in Apicul-

(Director :iorley Pettit., Agricultural

The members of the Ontario ,dgrieul-
tural Experimental Union are pleased
to state that for 1910 they are prepared
to add Apiculture to the list of depart-
ments for experimental work. At present
there is no material to distribute, so it
is proposed to take up some of the more
important problems in the management
of bees for profit. One of the greatest
of these is the control of swarming.
When bees are kept from swarming en-
tirely, more honey is secured. When
they are compelled by artificial methods

to swarm only at certain hours on eer-
days at the convenience of the beekeep-
er much loss of time and swarms is
avoided.
Many of the most successful beekeep-
ers never let their bees swarm, necessary
increase is made in other ways which
aro directly under control. It is quite as
important to control the increase of
bees as of any other stook on the farm.
The experiment for 1910 is the control
of swarming:
Each person who wishes to join in this
experimental work may fill out a
supplied form of application, and re-
turn the same to the Director of the Co-
operative Experiments in Apiculture at
as early a date as possible. A sheet con-
taining the instructions for the experi-
ments, and the blank form on which to
report the results of the work, will be
sent to each experimenter on receipt of
application blank properly filled out.
The committee on Apicultural Experi-
ments desires to ask that each experi-
menter will follow instructions very par-
ticularly, and that he will be very care-
ful and accurate in his work, and for-
ward to the Director a complete report
of the results obtained from the experi-
ment, as soon as possible after the close
of- the season.
Some advantages of Co-operative Ex-
perimental Work:
1. It will systematize bee management
along definuite lines and for valuable
purposes.
2, It will distribute the very best
ideas on different departments of the
business among the best beekeepers, and
teach them to experiment and investi-
gate.
3. It will lead to a substantial increase
in apiary 'profits, and to a. steady ad-
vance in apicultural education through-
out Ontario.
4. It will be of great benefit to the
fruit and seed industries as these are so
very dependent on bees for success.
5. It will interest young people to pay
their way through college by keeping
bees in the summer vacation, as several
are now doing in Canada and the United
States.
0. It will educate along the lines of
careful handling, close observation, ac-
curate calculation and economical meth -
oda.
7. --It will train apiarists to unite
science with practice, and to lead ethers
to do likewise.
S. It will help beekeepers to under-
stand better the scientific principles
that they read about in bulletins, re-
ports and bee journals, and . that they
hear about at conventions.
9. It will add dignity to this import-
ant branch of farm life.
10. It will exert a, wholesome influence
in keeping the farm boys ,and girls in-
terested in farm work, as beekeeping
offers . a profitable line of work for
young peopule of either sex.
