Washington, April 1L—An array counsel, greater in cumber, and more illustrious in reputation, than ever !,e - fore assembled at The Hague to engage in the trial of a special case, has been retained to represent Great Britain and the United States in the determination of what is undoubtedly the most impar taut issue ever presented to that gre.u, peace tribunal. Tecanically tuns is the determination of differences which have arisen between the two governments us to the true intent of the provisions of article 1, of the treaty of 1818, defin-ng the fishing rights of Canadians and Am- ericans in their respective waters. The issue of greatest importance is the determination of the right of s eo,- ony or province, such as Canada, or Newfoundland, by local legislation to deprive persons of rights conferred L, treaty between the principals. On June 1 next, the arbitration tribunal is to meet at The Hague to hear the oral arguments. The arbitration court will consist of Dr. Heinrich Lammasch, of Austria, um- pire, who will act as president; Luis M. Drago, Argentine Republic; Jonkeer A. F.

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.

Co -Operative Experiments in Apicul- ture a„. ;cperjmentaL Union. (Director :iorley Pettit., Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont.) 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 HAVE Y U WWHY NOT?

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.
