Standon, Qne., : March' 9ths--(Spee chi's '.=.Aiiotl,er tribute to:Paddle Kid- ney Pills is sent to us by Mr. G. Crawford, a well known. resident of this place.. He says: "It is with pleasure that I let you know your Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me gaol and I am well satisfied with the results. My trouble started from a sold. My sleep was broken and un - unrefreshing and I had a bitter taste in my mouth especially in the morn- ings. Rheumatism also troubled me. 3 am now taking your Dodd's Dyspep- sia Tablets and find them very good. When I feel my stomach bad I take them and get instant relief. My age is 76." Dodd's Kidney Pills not only relieve the pain or ache that is causing the most distress, but they put the kid- riyb in good working order and all 'the impurities and poisons are strain- ed out of the body. Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets keep the :Stomach free from trouble.

S., is a veritable land e:f buried treasure, and, if worked properly, would prove a gold mine, :according to George Allan England, n recent United States visitor. Only Davy Jones' bookkeeper knows what values lie hidden there. In ad- elition to loot buried by old-time pir- .tates, rich treasures must at various times have been cast upon these !treacherous bars and beaches. Every little while ancient coins are exposed lby the shifting sands. Even while I was there East Light Keeper Gre- ,goire's little daughter picked up ' a big Spanish coin of the long ago, sand polished like new. His countrymen, continues )Via'. England, would go to excavating, forthwith, but the islanders pay little heed. Trivialities like doubloons fail to raise their pulses. "Money? What'd we do with r n- ey here?"

Later he openeit; an' what do you think sir? 'Twos a• big lot of Bank of England notes, good as gold. Buried treasure here? I guess there is!" The moving sands are continually revealing unsolved mysteries. A guard recently picked up a scabbard mounted with gold. About a week before my visit an old Napoleonic. bayonet was found in a dune. Once the islanders uncovered the site of an ancient encampment, with rusty guns, knives made of iron hoops, a tatter- ed British ensign, and human bones; also a shilling from the reign of Queen Elizabeth. What sea rovers perished there? "Old coffins once in a while come out o' the sand, an' bodies, too. We bury all the skilitons we find right away. We got two fenced graveyards but if its too far to carry bodies we just bury 'em 6n some nice civil place with a wooden cross an' their names —if we can. find 'em out. • Last year the sands shifted an' we found a lot o' rough boxes with skilitons in 'em.

Ontario lady speaks highly of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Sprucedale, Ont., March end.— (Special) nd — (Special).—"I am pleased to say how much good your Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I have suffered with backache, lumbago and neural- gia, and after I started using your Dodd's Kidney. Pilin I felt like a new woman. I will recommend your med- icine any time." This statement comes from Mrs. G. Woonch of this place. That Mrs. Wooneh's troubles were caused by the kidneys is evidenced by the prompt and complete relief she got from Dodd's Kidney Pills. They act only ori' the kidneys. Diseased Kidneys are the cause of nine -tenths of all the ills women are heir to. Sound kidneys mean pure blood. Pure,blood means good health.

SOME OF THE BEST - ROSES (Experimental Farms Note) The Hybrid Tea class of Roses are now the most popular and - are the most satisfactory for the majority of gardens in that they give more con- tinuance of bloom than any other class. The Pernetianas would come Moder the same heading as the dif- fdrences between the two are not easy to determine, except by an ex- pert. They do well under the same conditions and need about the same protection in the winter in the colder sections of the country. Betty is one of the hardiest of the H. T. Roses of medium growth, color coppery rose outside and blush inside. Caroline Testout a beautiful shade of pink, but not always a good shape. Constance, one of the best yellow roses, buds orange but paler on op- ening. - Edel and Edith Cavell are two new cream roses, a colour that is not com- mon, so that they are particularly welcome. General MacArthur, G. C. Wand, Gruss and Teplitz are three red ros- es varying considerably in shade and habit. The last named lacks form, but for its color and general beauty as a plant, it should be in every gar- den. It is a constant bloomer throughout the season. Independence Day is a beautiful shade of flame color. The shape is good and it is delicately scented. Isobel a 'beautiful single rose of carmine salmon with a yellow base. Jean G. N. Forrestier, Mrs. B. J. Walker and the Queen Alexandra are three strong growing roses with bril- liant colored flowers. The mixture of red and yellow that is in them is difficult to describe, but very effec- tive in the garden. Lady Pirrie, Los Angeles and Oph- elia are beautiful apricot shades and all have good form and beautiful buds and are particularly effective as cut. flowers. Lady Ashtown, La Tosca and Mrs. Henry Morse are all pink and all beautiful. The two first are old fav- orites and excellent growers, La Tosca being the more vigorous of the two. Mrs. H. Morse is a newer var- iety of deep rose color which is fast gaining the front rank both as a cut flower and a bedding rose in spite of the fact that in some localities it is subject to mildew. Souvenir de CIaudius Pernet, the beautiful new yellow rose that is so popular with florists grows well in the garden,, but does not give so many blooms as some other varieties. Mrs. Aaron Ward and Mme. Rev- ery are two old favorites of delight- ful yellow shades in the bud. They are dwarf growers but very florifer- ous. The list could be continued end- lessly, but these few varieties would make a good start for a beautiful Rose Garden. MUCH MARRIED MAN IN AMERICA If the self -claimed wives of .Horner Melvin Vorhies, religious- lecturer, choir singer and lightning Iove-maker continue to pile up at the present rate, the matrimonial records of Blue - beard must shortly go by the board according to a Baltimore paper. Vorhies, who qualified as the fast- est matrimonial worker California has ever met by marrying two pretty members of the same church in Au- burn, Cal., singing in the. --village .choir on numerous occasions with one on each side of him, and actitlg a dual role as husband for three monthe without getting 'bis signals crossed, is rapidly amassing for himself a record as America's "marriedest man," To date, if data rapidly piling up in the district attorney's and county recorder's office in Auburn is reliable, Vorhies has married no less than 28 worsen in the last six years. Irt- eluded n i his fields of matrimonial conquests are Pennsylvania'; Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Emmen, CoYorado, Utah and CaiM:6*a.;•Two purport- ed foreign wives..also have been heard from, one in Windsor, Ont., and one in Mesio°. Jus now Vorhies is a, fugitive from justice with two California bigamy warrants hanging ove7bis head as a result of two lettr;Which he wrote his two wives ata I%l'timore getting into the wrong envelopes. Authori- ties suspect that +the:,"mixing up''- of letters and the consequent denoue- ment may possibly have been inten- tional. He has ant ..been heard from since they were written, and the dual husbandly role was becoming a dif- ficult burden to carry. The wives Vorhies may have amass- ed in other states, range all the way frgm a widow with . four children in Lima, 0., to a 44 -tear -old spinster in Kersey, CoL In nn: Arbor, Mich.; he's credited with marrying a choir singer and then hurrying to Jackson, a dozen miles . away, and marrying another prominent .Church singer within a month. Three months afterward, as was the case in Auburn, Vorhies found his dual husbandly role getting difficult, and disappeared. In :Windsor, Can- ada, he is credited with wedding a clergyman's daughter, and in Juarez, Mexico, the widow of an executed Mexican general. • Vorhies's adroitness as a marital - juggler in Auburn, when he kept Mrs. Catherine Morrison Vorhies, wife No. 1, from knowing anything about Mrs. Myrtle Cleese Vorhies, wife No. 2, and vice versa, although all three met regularly for weeks in the Con- gregational church choir, is still a matter of wonder. Frequently, it is said all three used the same hymn book and on one °cession sang, as a special trio number, "We Are One." Vorhies explained his absence from home by telling each wife that he was a travelling soft-drink salesman. Prohibition sleuths now are checking up to determine whether he sold any- thing besides soft drinks. NATURE'S WARNING Danger Signals That Everyone Should Take Seriously. Pain is one of Nature's warnings that something is wrong with . the body. Indigestion, for instance, is characterized by pains in the stomach, and often about the heart; rheuma- tism by sharp pains in the limbs and joints; headaches are a sign that the nerves or stomach are opt of order. In some ailments, such as anaemia, pain is not so prominent. In this case Nature's warning take the form of pallor, breathlessness after slight ex- ertion, palpitation of the heart, and loss of appetite. Whatever form these warnings take, wise people will not ignore the fact that many diseases have their origin in poor blood, and that when the blood is enriched the trouble disappears. Dr. , Williams' Pink Pills are most helpful in such cases because they purify and build up the blood to its normal strength. In this way it tones up the nerves, re- stores the appetite and gives perfect health. Miss Hazel Berney; of Arn- prior, Ont., has proved eat value of this medicine and s "I am a young girl and have been working in a factory for the past four years. Fee two years I had been :in such poor health that at times I could not work. I was thin and pale, and ,troubled with headaches and fainting spells. I doc- tored nearly alI this time, but it did not help me. My mother. advised me to take. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after using them for a while I could notice an improvement in my condi- tion. I used nine boxes and can truth- fully say that my health is restored. When I began taking the pills I gg�teeighed 97 pounds and now I weigh 114. I feel that I owe mY good health to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and hope other ailing people will give them a fair trial." You can get these pills through atsy medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

New. railway line from Brisbane to the new South Wales border has been started, this being the first part of -an extensive scheme to standardize the railway gauges in Australia. At present the standard gauge exists in New South Wales and part of South Australia. The next step will be the conversion of the narrow gauge in Western Australia, from Kalgoorlie to Freemantle, and later the Victorian and South Australian systems will be converted to the standard gauge. Export of inferior wine from South Africa to Europe has been forbidden by the Union Government. The reg- ulations are so stringent that they will guarantee the consumer against the purchase of any immature or poor wine. They provide for the testing of the wines by Government officials and the granting of certificates after approval. The Government recogniz- es that keen European competition in the markets of the United King- dom demands the best that the Do- minions can produce. Shipping strike has ended in Aus- tralia, the seamen having decided to man all ships and a general re-en- gagement is proceeding. The men's decision followed the announcement of Mr. Justice Power's intention to de -register the Seamen's Union 5.f the men had not obeyed the court's order by three o'clock on the same afternoon. The strike began in No- vember, and arose over the union's job -control policy, the seamen's "picking -up" places, and other mat- ters. It has caused almost complete dislocation of Australian shipping and considerable loss to trade. Johannesburg is losing its biggest park, the Saxonwold, a pleasant stretch of plantations backing the Zoo. This wooded area of about 39 acres was offered to the Town Coun- cil a long time back for the sum of $300,000. Negotiations between the Council and the owners lasted for some time, and then lapsed altoge- ther. The owners have now obtained authority for laying out a township on the land, and very soon lots will be available for private sale. "One of the finest assets in the shape of an open space for playing grounds and camping sites is going from Johan- nesburg," remarked an old resident. "There is no place like it in South Africa." VALUE OF HONEY BEE IS ARD TO ESTIMATE It may be asked, to what extent does bee -keeping add to the wealth of the country? If a can operates 100 acres of land and aside from honey production by careful cultiva- tion and management produces the maximum of paying crops, he can after that put an apiary upon the farm and aside from the actual ground space the apiary occupies, he displaces no other crop. He also takes nothing from the fertility of the soil for honey is a carbo -hydride which plants obtain from the atmos- phere and the soil is not depleted of any valuable constituent. More than that, the production of honey is not the primary object of the existence of the bee. Honey is only a bi-pro- duct. Blossoms vary much in beau- ty, attractiveness, fragrance and form but they are all so constructed that either in themselves or the variations of their kind they carry the parts which produce pollen and the parts which bear the seed vessels, in other words, male and female parts. The place where the nectar secreting glands are so situated that in or- der for the bee to get the nectar she has to be fertilized. It would take too long to minutely describe the de- vices but cross fertilization is aimed at. The honey bee is covered with fine hair, acts as a brush in distrib- uting pollen. It is well known that in Australia no red clover seed could he grown until bumble bees were imported and bred to fertilise the blossoms which produce the seed. Scientists and governments have epn- ducted experiments in which portions of fruit trees, shrubs, clover and buck- wheat patches were covered to ex- clude the visits by bees have unvary- ingly and unfailingly given very much larger crops. The alsike clover seed growing and buckwheat growing por- tion of Ontario, for instance, court and solicit beekeepers to place e 1 e hoes � on their farms for they have had many ocular demonstrations of the value of the visite of bees. Then comes the return from -the apa`:iry- in honey, beeswax and bees. From re - tarns from bee -keeping a considerable number r of men have maintained homes, brought up and educated a family and accumulated as much as from other lines of business. In the honey crop we get a delicious and healthy feed. Haney is a distal- ation through the exhuberence of plant life. The more vigorous • the plant the more abudant the nectar secretion. Not onlyis honey a large- ly predigested food, ready for -assimi- lation, but it has added to it the aroma of the flower; it contains essential oils and all the recognized vitamins con- sidered so- desirable. One commission house in Holand, a very small country, handles a very large quantity of buck- wheat honey used for the sole purpose of baking a national cake. The consumption of honey in Cana ada could, and should, be increased many fold with advantage to the peo- ple. Railways gain freights not only in the crop of the beekeeper produces, but in the equipment the beekeeper requires which is quite extensive, and the manufactures of hives, comb foun- dation, honey extracters, tin cans and other articles too numerous to men- tion, give employment to the people of the country. WOLVES MAKE BIG KILLINGS IN MARCH I have been seeing so much about wolves of late I thought I would tell some of my experiences. In the win- ter of 1910 I was camped on the height of land northwest from Gow- ganda. There was not a sound or track of a wolf until 'March. Then I had a trip to a lake south of where I was camped to meet some prospec- tors who were to - conie from w- ganda. It was near dusk when I br rived. The prospectors had not come so I turned back on my snowshoe trail for my own camp on Moose Lake. I was hurrying along with my head down watching the trail and as I came around a short bend in the trail I met a large timber wolf. I am not sure who got the biggest sur- prise. We both stood and looked each other over for a minute and then the wolf decided it was his move. I had not gone far when I saw where a number of wolves had been on the trail. I arrived at the camp without hearing or seeing anything more of the wolves, but I had not been home long before they started to howl, as it seemed, all sides of the tent. I had a gun in camp (I had not been carry- ing it), so I sallied out thinking to get a shot as it was bright moonlight by this time. As soon as I would get outside all noise would stop, and I could not see a thing, but i knew they were close., hiding in the shad- ows of the trees. As soon as I would go back in the camp they would start their racket, which they kept up all night. Next day they ran a three- year-old bull moose out on the lake and killed him. They stayed quiet after that but did not leave, for I often saw their tracks. The following spring I found a den with a bunch of pups:. I never saw any wolves there at any other time of year. I have noticed that the timber wolf always does: his 'big killings i the month .of March? as a t-ule the' hunt in pairs; at** season .7 v often seen their work among tote lea when the snow is deep d the deer are weak. In the early fall you can .bear' t'he packs, which think .,are. generally made up of one family, that is the female wolf and her pups. . Later in the season they seem to rap nt-,pairs. T once had a wolf ehase a dog for company right, to my camp noire;; : at night. A neighbor of ' mine at, N ipis sing shot a large wolf that, followed his dog home. I lost an Airedale an& I have every reason. to' believe -that. she mated with. a wolf eel often seen her tracks with, a large timber' wolf's. Wolves travel at night and very seldom move in daylight. That is why more are not seen and killed. think the best plan to hunt wolves: is to locate the deer thhey kill in the month of March for that is the supply of food for the female when she is raising her pups. The old male wolf will carry sections of the deer to the den to feed his mate when the pups; are Small and as soon as the pups are large enough the whole family will come and feed. The deer keep a long time in the thick evergreen swamps where they are killed. I have known men to be treed by wolves when the wolves were running . deer over a mile away. I once 'work- ed in a lumber camp about twenty years ago where a bunch of men very near host their lives over a wolf search. They were cutting roads near the shore of a small' lake near dark in the fall of the year. A pack of wolves ran a deer near where they were working.' They thought that the wolf was after them and they stampeded out on the ice and crossed this lake. The ice was thin, but they got away and swear to this day the wolves were hunting. I don't think the wolf is to be feared inournorth country. His natural -food is too plentiful to bother man but if there came a time when they were starving I don't think they would stop at anything to get a square meal. Their nature is to kill and deer and rabbits are their natural food, but I have seen them tackle a moose when no deer was to be had, and before they would starve I think that they would tackle a man. A wolf howls for the same reason that a dog does, every hunter has heard a lost hound howl at night for company. A pack of wolves generally give tongue on the chase far the same reason that a hound tongues. A fox or wolf will bark at anything that he can't under- stand, like a dog.

S., is a veritable land e:f buried treasure, and, if worked properly, would prove a gold mine, :according to George Allan England, n recent United States visitor. Only Davy Jones' bookkeeper knows what values lie hidden there. In ad- elition to loot buried by old-time pir- .tates, rich treasures must at various times have been cast upon these !treacherous bars and beaches. Every little while ancient coins are exposed lby the shifting sands. Even while I was there East Light Keeper Gre- ,goire's little daughter picked up ' a big Spanish coin of the long ago, sand polished like new. His countrymen, continues )Via'.

SOME OF THE BEST - ROSES (Experimental Farms Note) The Hybrid Tea class of Roses are now the most popular and - are the most satisfactory for the majority of gardens in that they give more con- tinuance of bloom than any other class. The Pernetianas would come Moder the same heading as the dif- fdrences between the two are not easy to determine, except by an ex- pert. They do well under the same conditions and need about the same protection in the winter in the colder sections of the country. Betty is one of the hardiest of the H. T. Roses of medium growth, color coppery rose outside and blush inside. Caroline Testout a beautiful shade of pink, but not always a good shape. Constance, one of the best yellow roses, buds orange but paler on op- ening. - Edel and Edith Cavell are two new cream roses, a colour that is not com- mon, so that they are particularly welcome. General MacArthur, G. C. Wand, Gruss and Teplitz are three red ros- es varying considerably in shade and habit. The last named lacks form, but for its color and general beauty as a plant, it should be in every gar- den. It is a constant bloomer throughout the season. Independence Day is a beautiful shade of flame color. The shape is good and it is delicately scented. Isobel a 'beautiful single rose of carmine salmon with a yellow base. Jean G. N. Forrestier, Mrs. B. J. Walker and the Queen Alexandra are three strong growing roses with bril- liant colored flowers. The mixture of red and yellow that is in them is difficult to describe, but very effec- tive in the garden. Lady Pirrie, Los Angeles and Oph- elia are beautiful apricot shades and all have good form and beautiful buds and are particularly effective as cut. flowers. Lady Ashtown, La Tosca and Mrs. Henry Morse are all pink and all beautiful. The two first are old fav- orites and excellent growers, La Tosca being the more vigorous of the two. Mrs. H. Morse is a newer var- iety of deep rose color which is fast gaining the front rank both as a cut flower and a bedding rose in spite of the fact that in some localities it is subject to mildew. Souvenir de CIaudius Pernet, the beautiful new yellow rose that is so popular with florists grows well in the garden,, but does not give so many blooms as some other varieties. Mrs. Aaron Ward and Mme. Rev- ery are two old favorites of delight- ful yellow shades in the bud. They are dwarf growers but very florifer- ous. The list could be continued end- lessly, but these few varieties would make a good start for a beautiful Rose Garden. MUCH MARRIED MAN IN AMERICA If the self -claimed wives of .Horner Melvin Vorhies, religious- lecturer, choir singer and lightning Iove-maker continue to pile up at the present rate, the matrimonial records of Blue - beard must shortly go by the board according to a Baltimore paper. Vorhies, who qualified as the fast- est matrimonial worker California has ever met by marrying two pretty members of the same church in Au- burn, Cal., singing in the. --village .choir on numerous occasions with one on each side of him, and actitlg a dual role as husband for three monthe without getting 'bis signals crossed, is rapidly amassing for himself a record as America's "marriedest man," To date, if data rapidly piling up in the district attorney's and county recorder's office in Auburn is reliable, Vorhies has married no less than 28 worsen in the last six years. Irt- eluded n i his fields of matrimonial conquests are Pennsylvania'; Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Emmen, CoYorado, Utah and CaiM:6*a.;•Two purport- ed foreign wives..also have been heard from, one in Windsor, Ont., and one in Mesio°. Jus now Vorhies is a, fugitive from justice with two California bigamy warrants hanging ove7bis head as a result of two lettr;Which he wrote his two wives ata I%l'timore getting into the wrong envelopes. Authori- ties suspect that +the:,"mixing up''- of letters and the consequent denoue- ment may possibly have been inten- tional. He has ant ..been heard from since they were written, and the dual husbandly role was becoming a dif- ficult burden to carry. The wives Vorhies may have amass- ed in other states, range all the way frgm a widow with . four children in Lima, 0., to a 44 -tear -old spinster in Kersey, CoL In nn: Arbor, Mich.; he's credited with marrying a choir singer and then hurrying to Jackson, a dozen miles . away, and marrying another prominent .Church singer within a month. Three months afterward, as was the case in Auburn, Vorhies found his dual husbandly role getting difficult, and disappeared. In :Windsor, Can- ada, he is credited with wedding a clergyman's daughter, and in Juarez, Mexico, the widow of an executed Mexican general. • Vorhies's adroitness as a marital - juggler in Auburn, when he kept Mrs. Catherine Morrison Vorhies, wife No. 1, from knowing anything about Mrs. Myrtle Cleese Vorhies, wife No. 2, and vice versa, although all three met regularly for weeks in the Con- gregational church choir, is still a matter of wonder. Frequently, it is said all three used the same hymn book and on one °cession sang, as a special trio number, "We Are One." Vorhies explained his absence from home by telling each wife that he was a travelling soft-drink salesman. Prohibition sleuths now are checking up to determine whether he sold any- thing besides soft drinks. NATURE'S WARNING Danger Signals That Everyone Should Take Seriously. Pain is one of Nature's warnings that something is wrong with . the body. Indigestion, for instance, is characterized by pains in the stomach, and often about the heart; rheuma- tism by sharp pains in the limbs and joints; headaches are a sign that the nerves or stomach are opt of order. In some ailments, such as anaemia, pain is not so prominent. In this case Nature's warning take the form of pallor, breathlessness after slight ex- ertion, palpitation of the heart, and loss of appetite. Whatever form these warnings take, wise people will not ignore the fact that many diseases have their origin in poor blood, and that when the blood is enriched the trouble disappears. Dr. , Williams' Pink Pills are most helpful in such cases because they purify and build up the blood to its normal strength. In this way it tones up the nerves, re- stores the appetite and gives perfect health. Miss Hazel Berney; of Arn- prior, Ont., has proved eat value of this medicine and s "I am a young girl and have been working in a factory for the past four years. Fee two years I had been :in such poor health that at times I could not work. I was thin and pale, and ,troubled with headaches and fainting spells. I doc- tored nearly alI this time, but it did not help me. My mother. advised me to take. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after using them for a while I could notice an improvement in my condi- tion. I used nine boxes and can truth- fully say that my health is restored. When I began taking the pills I gg�teeighed 97 pounds and now I weigh 114. I feel that I owe mY good health to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and hope other ailing people will give them a fair trial." You can get these pills through atsy medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

New. railway line from Brisbane to the new South Wales border has been started, this being the first part of -an extensive scheme to standardize the railway gauges in Australia. At present the standard gauge exists in New South Wales and part of South Australia. The next step will be the conversion of the narrow gauge in Western Australia, from Kalgoorlie to Freemantle, and later the Victorian and South Australian systems will be converted to the standard gauge. Export of inferior wine from South Africa to Europe has been forbidden by the Union Government. The reg- ulations are so stringent that they will guarantee the consumer against the purchase of any immature or poor wine. They provide for the testing of the wines by Government officials and the granting of certificates after approval. The Government recogniz- es that keen European competition in the markets of the United King- dom demands the best that the Do- minions can produce. Shipping strike has ended in Aus- tralia, the seamen having decided to man all ships and a general re-en- gagement is proceeding. The men's decision followed the announcement of Mr. Justice Power's intention to de -register the Seamen's Union 5.f the men had not obeyed the court's order by three o'clock on the same afternoon. The strike began in No- vember, and arose over the union's job -control policy, the seamen's "picking -up" places, and other mat- ters. It has caused almost complete dislocation of Australian shipping and considerable loss to trade. Johannesburg is losing its biggest park, the Saxonwold, a pleasant stretch of plantations backing the Zoo. This wooded area of about 39 acres was offered to the Town Coun- cil a long time back for the sum of $300,000. Negotiations between the Council and the owners lasted for some time, and then lapsed altoge- ther. The owners have now obtained authority for laying out a township on the land, and very soon lots will be available for private sale. "One of the finest assets in the shape of an open space for playing grounds and camping sites is going from Johan- nesburg," remarked an old resident. "There is no place like it in South Africa." VALUE OF HONEY BEE IS ARD TO ESTIMATE It may be asked, to what extent does bee -keeping add to the wealth of the country? If a can operates 100 acres of land and aside from honey production by careful cultiva- tion and management produces the maximum of paying crops, he can after that put an apiary upon the farm and aside from the actual ground space the apiary occupies, he displaces no other crop. He also takes nothing from the fertility of the soil for honey is a carbo -hydride which plants obtain from the atmos- phere and the soil is not depleted of any valuable constituent. More than that, the production of honey is not the primary object of the existence of the bee. Honey is only a bi-pro- duct. Blossoms vary much in beau- ty, attractiveness, fragrance and form but they are all so constructed that either in themselves or the variations of their kind they carry the parts which produce pollen and the parts which bear the seed vessels, in other words, male and female parts. The place where the nectar secreting glands are so situated that in or- der for the bee to get the nectar she has to be fertilized. It would take too long to minutely describe the de- vices but cross fertilization is aimed at. The honey bee is covered with fine hair, acts as a brush in distrib- uting pollen. It is well known that in Australia no red clover seed could he grown until bumble bees were imported and bred to fertilise the blossoms which produce the seed. Scientists and governments have epn- ducted experiments in which portions of fruit trees, shrubs, clover and buck- wheat patches were covered to ex- clude the visits by bees have unvary- ingly and unfailingly given very much larger crops. The alsike clover seed growing and buckwheat growing por- tion of Ontario, for instance, court and solicit beekeepers to place e 1 e hoes � on their farms for they have had many ocular demonstrations of the value of the visite of bees. Then comes the return from -the apa`:iry- in honey, beeswax and bees. From re - tarns from bee -keeping a considerable number r of men have maintained homes, brought up and educated a family and accumulated as much as from other lines of business. In the honey crop we get a delicious and healthy feed. Haney is a distal- ation through the exhuberence of plant life. The more vigorous • the plant the more abudant the nectar secretion. Not onlyis honey a large- ly predigested food, ready for -assimi- lation, but it has added to it the aroma of the flower; it contains essential oils and all the recognized vitamins con- sidered so- desirable. One commission house in Holand, a very small country, handles a very large quantity of buck- wheat honey used for the sole purpose of baking a national cake. The consumption of honey in Cana ada could, and should, be increased many fold with advantage to the peo- ple. Railways gain freights not only in the crop of the beekeeper produces, but in the equipment the beekeeper requires which is quite extensive, and the manufactures of hives, comb foun- dation, honey extracters, tin cans and other articles too numerous to men- tion, give employment to the people of the country. WOLVES MAKE BIG KILLINGS IN MARCH I have been seeing so much about wolves of late I thought I would tell some of my experiences. In the win- ter of 1910 I was camped on the height of land northwest from Gow- ganda. There was not a sound or track of a wolf until 'March. Then I had a trip to a lake south of where I was camped to meet some prospec- tors who were to - conie from w- ganda. It was near dusk when I br rived. The prospectors had not come so I turned back on my snowshoe trail for my own camp on Moose Lake. I was hurrying along with my head down watching the trail and as I came around a short bend in the trail I met a large timber wolf. I am not sure who got the biggest sur- prise. We both stood and looked each other over for a minute and then the wolf decided it was his move. I had not gone far when I saw where a number of wolves had been on the trail. I arrived at the camp without hearing or seeing anything more of the wolves, but I had not been home long before they started to howl, as it seemed, all sides of the tent. I had a gun in camp (I had not been carry- ing it), so I sallied out thinking to get a shot as it was bright moonlight by this time. As soon as I would get outside all noise would stop, and I could not see a thing, but i knew they were close., hiding in the shad- ows of the trees. As soon as I would go back in the camp they would start their racket, which they kept up all night. Next day they ran a three- year-old bull moose out on the lake and killed him. They stayed quiet after that but did not leave, for I often saw their tracks. The following spring I found a den with a bunch of pups:. I never saw any wolves there at any other time of year. I have noticed that the timber wolf always does: his 'big killings i the month .of March? as a t-ule the' hunt in pairs; at** season .7 v often seen their work among tote lea when the snow is deep d the deer are weak. In the early fall you can .bear' t'he packs, which think .,are. generally made up of one family, that is the female wolf and her pups. . Later in the season they seem to rap nt-,pairs. T once had a wolf ehase a dog for company right, to my camp noire;; : at night. A neighbor of ' mine at, N ipis sing shot a large wolf that, followed his dog home. I lost an Airedale an& I have every reason. to' believe -that. she mated with. a wolf eel often seen her tracks with, a large timber' wolf's. Wolves travel at night and very seldom move in daylight. That is why more are not seen and killed. think the best plan to hunt wolves: is to locate the deer thhey kill in the month of March for that is the supply of food for the female when she is raising her pups. The old male wolf will carry sections of the deer to the den to feed his mate when the pups; are Small and as soon as the pups are large enough the whole family will come and feed. The deer keep a long time in the thick evergreen swamps where they are killed. I have known men to be treed by wolves when the wolves were running . deer over a mile away. I once 'work- ed in a lumber camp about twenty years ago where a bunch of men very near host their lives over a wolf search. They were cutting roads near the shore of a small' lake near dark in the fall of the year. A pack of wolves ran a deer near where they were working.' They thought that the wolf was after them and they stampeded out on the ice and crossed this lake. The ice was thin, but they got away and swear to this day the wolves were hunting. I don't think the wolf is to be feared inournorth country. His natural -food is too plentiful to bother man but if there came a time when they were starving I don't think they would stop at anything to get a square meal. Their nature is to kill and deer and rabbits are their natural food, but I have seen them tackle a moose when no deer was to be had, and before they would starve I think that they would tackle a man. A wolf howls for the same reason that a dog does, every hunter has heard a lost hound howl at night for company. A pack of wolves generally give tongue on the chase far the same reason that a hound tongues. A fox or wolf will bark at anything that he can't under- stand, like a dog.
