few colonies from the Central Experi-
mental Farm have been placed during
the , last three summers in different
places around Ottawa.
In 1917 two colonies were placed on
a sandy plain and two in a swamp, •
near Kazubazua, Quebec, about forty taking away every safe -guard of our
miles north of Ottawa. Those on the_ Public -Institution fined and absolutely
sandy ' plain gave 109 pounds of eliminating anything in reference to
honey per colony, spring count, princ-
ipally from blueberry, white clover,
and certain species of goldenrod.
Those irk the swamp gave 139 pounds
from the same sources. Swarming
was prevented by the destruction of
queen cells which were found in one
or more of the colonies every week
from May 24 to August 14. The
making of these twelve visits and
carefully examing every hive at each
visit consumed a great deal of time.
In 1918 two colonies were placed
near an area of firewood near Chelsea,
Quebec. They produced an average
of 239 pounds of honey each from
raspberry, clover and fireweed, and
required ten weekly visits for the de-
struction of queen cells to prevent
swarming.
In 1919 two hives were taken to
,a farmer's garden at Billings Bridge,
Ontario. T!o reduce the labor in pre-
venting swarming• and to get a max-
imum yield; two queens separated by
• a division board had been wintered in
each hive.- One of the queens and her
bees was placed in a separate hive on
May 27th. In this way a great num-
ber of bees were raised in time for
the clover honey flow in this favor-
able locality, and early swarming was
prevented. Later swarming was pre-
vented and young queens were obtain-
ed (two in some of the hives) by
three further manipulations: -the de-
struction of queen cells in some of
the hives on June 16th, the destruc-
tion of -queen cells and removal of
the queens' in nuclei on June 24th,
and, nine days later, the destruction
of all the queen cells except two, one
on each side of a division board then
inserted. Each hive, spring count,
produced n average of 331 pounds
of honey consisting of 290 pounds of
clover honey and 41 pounds of buck-
wheat honey, and there was an in-
crease in bees of three hives.

THE NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
In December last we published an
article under the title of "The Farm-
ers' Movement in the United States,"
which described the Working of the
Non Partisan League and the good
it was accomplishing the farming
communities in North Dakota and
written by an admirer of the League.
Since then we have had several let-
ters from residents of Dakota, pro-
testing against its publication on the
ground that the statements it con-
tained were absolutely, untrue and
deceiving and that the League instead
of accomplishing any good either to
state or for its people, had proven
a curse -to /both. This is what one of
these letters says. It was written
by Mr. J. D. Bacon, proprietor of

that but refusing it allow it to be
put back when it was- introduced, in
the way of an amendment, also sup-
porting legislation favorable to
red -flag ideas . and refusing to
pass any legislation against
radicals, and in clpsing I want to say,
if you will be fair enough to read
every line of thee pamphlets, I am
sure you will airee that we want
nothing of that kind of autocracy pre-
vailing in America, either in the Unit-
ed States or the British possessions.
These leaders are absolutely against
the Stars and Stripes and for the red
flag. And the experience of Canad-
ians in Winnipeg should he sufficient
evidence against that kind of people.
Trusting you will 'give these mat-
ters your close consideration, I am,
Yours very truly,

FROM EDMONTON
-
Edmonton, January 18, 1920.
I noticed in The Expositor a week
or so ago that you were having reg-
ular Western weather. We can re-
turn the compliment and say that we
have been having regular Eastern
weather. I don't know what you
would describe as "regular Western
weather," but I do know what east-
ern winter weather is, arnL I trust
you enjoy our western variety, more
than we do the eastern variety.
Winter with us'this year started in
the latter part of October, and dur-
ing November we had mlich cold and
considerable snow, and it remained
cold until December 17th, that day
when so many things were going to
happen to this old world. Then it
turned mild and has remained mild
until the last few days. Then the
eastern 'Weather started in -blustery
and snowing, until now we have more
snow than_ in all tlut previous six
winters I have lived here put together.
We actually have to wade through it,
and the other day I saw a railway
snow plow at work, the first have
eVer seen in this section. Generally
speaking Our snow fall is aptly de-
scribed by the Englishman who had
his ears frozen and called down
malidictions on the country because
he couldn't find enough snow to thaw
them out.
The exceptional snow fall, however,
will probably prove a blessing. We
have had several dry years. This
year there was little frost in the
ground when 'the snow came and the
extra quantity of snow will provide
the much needed moisture. It has
given. encouragement for the future,
which has probably more ground for
it than the ordinary western optimism
which always sees some brightness

league composed of two Edmonton'
teams and two Calgary teams, with
games twice a week in each city.
These teams are composed of the
best available hockey talent, amateur
of course, and include among their
numbers Barney Stanley; and Mickey
Mackay, graduates of the Pacific
Coast League. The big games are
played in the large stock arena at
the exhibition grotutds. The arena
-has a seating capacity of between
four and five thousand, and when I
Say that it is crowded at every genie
it will .give some idea -of the interest
in the game. Of course there is un-
ending rivalry between Calgary and
Edmonton aloag every line, a rlealrse
that particularly is manifest in sports.
This lends more than ordinary inter-
est to each inter city game. -
But if liqckeY ^lute itif thoilsands of
fans, the "roarin! game" is not far
behind. This year the Royal Club
addedlour more sheets of ice to their
rink, and they now have two shees
under one mot The capital at

three regular sheets with four addi-
tional during the bonspeil. for six
nights in the week these nineteen
sheets are all in use. Just now the
bonspiel season is on. Every little
town has its speil, with a more pre-
tentious one at Calgary commencing
to -morrow. , Then on February 3rd the
big Edmonton speil, the next big curl-
ing event of the _west after Winnipeg,
starts. This -year the eisPectations
are that between one hundred and
one hundred and twenty-five rinks will
visit the capital city. Ordinarily the
Alberta Legislation opens just at
this time and I, have been wondering
if there is any connection between
the fact that the date of the calling
of the House has been set back to
the 17th, and the interest that some
of the cabinet ministers are taking
this year in curling. I‘ happen to be
on the club rink with Premier Stew-
art and while perhaps he is not a
real star, he is a good' average player
and just as keen and enthusiastic as
any of them. Then this yeat Hon., A.
G. MacKay, Minister of Municipalities
and Health, has broken into the
.game. Althatigh he spent many years
in Owen Sound he has till thia year,
contented himself with bowling on the
green., Now he is making up for
lost time and boasts he has not miss-
ed playing a night since the season
opened.
At this early date the session of
the Legislature does not give promise
of being overly eventful It will, how-
ever, see the advent of a farmer candi-
date to fill the vacancy of Cochrane

late speaker, Fisher. While news-
paper rumor has it that some three,

SEED ORDERS AND SUPPLIES
The new seed catalogues are com-
ing in with their lists of novelties
and staple varieties attractively ad-
vertised, and one gets much enjoy-
snent in turning over the pages of
one of these catalogues and mentally
picturing the fine crops one will have
next summer. Often, however, the
catalogue is laid sside without the
order being sent, and nothing further
is done until, spring, when it may be
too late to get what is desired. The
quantity available of the best strains
of vegetables and flowers is usually
small, hence it is -very important to
order early before the, stock is ex-
