Concerning
the Flea
.•-•-o-o-4444-4-+++++++-4-4-4-+-4.4+-o-o-o-
It is said that the entomologist
Charles Reelaechild has a private col-
lection a fierie numbering 100,000 at
hie .establiehment jn Tring, near Lon-
don;that there are over 400 different
speciee a flea, already cluteeified, and
that'it is kefbwn that there are other
Pedes not as yet scientifically cata-
logued.
It appears that there is not much
prcespect that the birth rate in fleas
dinainieh, since Mme. Flea lays
her ;eggs the year round from one to
five at a time. But, like any other
inecclis and mammals, he is callous
M to the fate of her offspring, for
she, takes no interest whatever in her
eisgS and leaves her young to ehift for
themselves from the day of their
birth.
Certain fleae, It further appears, are
more catholic in their tastes than
others. Some seem to be strictly con-
fined to one host, altheugh at the
.
eteine titre it should be borne in mind
that no fleas are more than what are
.calted ternporarY 'parasites, which
Illeatee that they nese but a portion
Of their lives on their hoses, hopping
on and off at intervals. All fleas ap-
partiatly proceed from host to host.
But although they may otcasion-
ally', pass from one (species of host to
another, they do not, for the most
. part, seem to flourish in unaccustom-
ed guar -tees. For that reason a "hu -
read" flea Is only eometimes found on
epee 'land dogs, and "eat" and "doe"
fleit's only occasionally on human b-
, lege:. One of the moat curioue facto
iegaiting animal fleas is that all
of prey are sometimes found
tie'harbor the fleas of animals theY
14ve devoured.
Perhaps the most eurprieing
iiifor-
mt1on gathered with respect to flea
.'• that monkeys have no fleas. This
'
is an assertion,that is coranionly re-
'keived with aetoniehment and incredtt-
lity, [but; says Howard P.useell, the
fofflenoet .authority en fleas, healthy
motikeys are much too clean and
attiiie to harbor fleas, and when they

ticles., of scurf or dirt.
It maybe 1:mentioned, tooe that OnlY
' one inetance,is on •recodwhere a 'flea

OUR COFFEE.
We Drink It But Are Not Auth-
orities On Flavor. '
• In part the high price of coffee is
attributed to a frost in parts of Bra-
zil, but vamps causes have eontri-
buted. Puerto Rico, for example,
which never is touched by frost had
last year a small crop, and the price
of coffee in the ieland has increased
100 per cent. This has been ascrib-
ed sometimes to prohibition, but it is
doubtful whether Puerto Rico could
drink much more coffee than it was
drinking before prohibition went into
effect; its consumption of alcohol was
extremely moderate •and its consump-
tion of coffee large, as le apt to be
the case in the tropics.
It is noteworthy in this country
that many of the plans for a sub-
stitute for the saloon call for the
provision of coffee as a subetitute for
alcoholic drinke. In the cafes of
Europe the two go side by side, . on
an equal footing; at the same table
one person may be drinking coffee
and another beer. It might also be
said that Europeans drink wine or
beer with their meals and take their
coffee in public, while Canadians
drink coffee with their meale and
take their alcohol in secret. This
materially affects the position of cof-
fee as a substitute.
If -the coffee house is to be • re-
stored to the position it once had,
considerable changes will need to be
made in national habite and tastes.
Used in moderation coffee is a rela-
tively harmless stimulant, but it can-
not be consumed so freely as beer.
and most coffee drinkers take already
quite as much as is good for them.
To make coffee available as a social
substitute for alcohol, therefore, the
Canadian public Would need to cut

BREEDS FOR BACK YARDS.
As a rule, the smaller breeds Of fowls,
comnnly spoken of as egg -breeds, such
as the Leghorn, Catnpines and Ham -
burgs, are not well suited to backyards.
Again, the very heavy breeds, classified
as meat breeds, which include the Brali-
mas, Codhins and Langhans, are not so
well suited to side -line poultry keeping.
The former are too small for profitable
meat production. The latter are too large
for maximum egg preduction.
)3etwixt-and-between varieties aro gen-
erally advocated for tho.se who keep
poultry for home consumption, espepially
under conditions that require' natural in-
cubation and brooding. An all-round,
general-purpose chicken Is tile ideal bird

No amount of other favorable qualifica-
tions cart • make amends for failure in
these respects.
But, tile back -totter does not want to
get eggs at the expense of meat, espec-
ially if he can combine the tIvo. He wants
a plump fowl of fair weight, one that
Will dress well at all ages from broiler
size to old age. Also, he wants a quiet,
friendly bird. The value of this quality
cannot be overlooked. Nervous, noisy
chickens which are given to fence flying
and digging* up the neighbor's rosebed
are too troublesome for the suburban,
poultry keeper.N
AMEIHCAN BREEDS BEST.
All things considered, the American
breeds hold first plitee in qualifying for
frotn which to choose a favorite the baekyard flock. There sevoitertiosrt

there is choice between rose and slugle
combs.
The American elites includes some "0
different varieties, and all of them are
*tilt for business. They have a definite
purpose. They aim at the centre of a
target of efficiency, arid they hit it with
a perfect score. They are intensely
practical and ulitita.riati, yet they also
satisfy the demands of the meet fa.stidi-
ious fancier. In any cliinate or locality,
and under any circuinstanees that will
permit other fottle to live, there, also,
will the Amerlean breeds thrive and be of
profit to their keeper,
There are aiv breeds In the .Amerlean

Wyndottes, ltliode Xisland Resin, Javan,
Dominiques and Putkeyee. The first

and of these three the Plymouth Iteeks

when it was seen that young Macgregor
had won. The time occupied In the race
is said to have been "something" over
three minutes.
The race, which marks the genesis of
the Braemar Gathering, was °enthused
right down to 1850, when it was diaeon-
tinned owing to the injury caused to com-
petitors. Queen' Victoria, in her Leaves
of a Journal in the Tighlands, gives a
description of the race and the reasons
for its discontinuance. The Queen, writ:
ing mnder date of September 12, 1850, says:
'115re lunched early and then went at
2.30 with the children and all our party
. . .to the Castle of Braemar„ . •
There was the usual games of 'putting
the stone,"throwing :the hammer,' and
'caber,' and racing up Craig Choiraisith,
which was s.ccomplished in less than 6 1-2
minutes, and we were all much pleased
to see our ghillie, Duncen, who iS an itc-
tive, good looking yoling man, win. He
was far before theothera the whole way.
It is a fearful exertion. Mr. Farquhar -
hon brought him to rue afterwards. Eight-
een or nineteen started, and it looked
very putty to see them run off in their
different colored. kilts with their white
shirte (the jackets or doublets they take
off for all the games) aidscramble up
through the wood, emerging gradually at
the edge of it and climbing the hill." --

An old Mary'and fruit grower says
Peach trees are short lived because
they are transplanted, According to
his theory, based upon experience,
peach trees will live for many years
if started from seed planted in good
soil, where the tree" is to develop.
Peach trees do not come true from
seed. An orchard of thees grown from
seed would hardly have two trees pro-
ducing similar fruit. This is overeome
by grafting.
The •seeds or peach pits are saved
from fruit used for canning or table
use. They are •washed end spread out
in an open, airy piece to dry and
planted at once where the trees are
to develop.
Plant' eix or eight seeds in a space
a feot in diameter. Tliis may seem
like liberal planting, but the seeds are
plentiful, and one of the lot is quite
sure to grow. The soil must be mellow
and thoroughly drained.
After the seeds have been planted,
mulch the soil over them with manure,
hay or long grass and weeds. The

WINTERING IMES IN' CELLAR VS.
01.1TSDB.
In all parts of Canada it ia neces-
sary to provide some protection for
the bees during the long, cold winter
months in order to obtain the,best re -
results from them. This protection can
be given in two ways, either by plac-
ing the whole apiary in a special re-
pository or cellar, or by packing the
bees in cases outside. to the colder
parts of Canada such as the prattle
Provinces and the northern parte ot
Ontario and Quebec, while it may be
possible to winter .Outeide it eilffic-
ient packing is given, it would be
safer to winter in the cellar, ln the
warmer regions, outside wintering ap-
pears to be equally as good US cellar
wintering.
The first essentials for successful
wiutering inside are that the cellar
should be well insulated against the
variations in outeide temperatures,
it should be dry and dark and the
temperature should be regulated so as.
to stand at 48 degrees to 50 degrees
F. Very little ventilation is requir-
ed. The bees should not be disturbed
any more than is abeolutely nee:es--
eery during the entire winter. For
outside wintering, cases can be used
that will hold one or more colonies,
oue holding four colonie • appears to
be the moat desirable. The cases
should be large enough to allow from
3 inches. to 6 inches of packing on the
bottom and four sides, and about 10
inches on tele For packing, either
planer shavings, West leaves, or
chaff, can be used. There ehould also
be a windbreak around the apiary.
An evergreen hedge or an eight foot
board fence are the best.
Before deciding which method te
adopt, the beekeeper should study his
conditions and what he haa available.
If he has a good cellar meeting the
above requirements, it would be ad-
visable fon him to use it, especially if
he has only a few colonies. Under
other conditione it may be easier and
cheaper for him to build cases and
winter „oittside.There is More latTor

The seedlings are grafted. by cutting
them off about a foct above the
ground with a diagonal cut, extending
an inch or mere along the surface.
The scion is cut diagonally tn the
same manner and should be the same
diameter at the stock. The joint
should be nicely fitted and tied with
grafting wax,

The result will be, according to the
reports of this old peach grower,

antly and live twice as long as or
and unpacking in the spring than there
is in carrying the bees into the cellar
and out again. On the Other hand,
bees in the cellar will need mote et-
tention during the winter. As a rule,
bees packed outside do not need atten-
tion from the time they are packed
untll they are unpacked in the spring,
whereas the cellar will need cleaning
up and the temperature regulated
throughout the winter.
Both methods of wintering have
been triad for • a number of years at
the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, The
beee wintered inside placed in the cel-
lar beneath the Bee Building, and
those wintered outside are Placed in
quadruple awes with planer shavings
used as 5. parking, and an eight foot
board fence as a windbreak, The
average loss of bees in the cellar le
nil against 5.4 per cella for outeide,
while the consumption of stores does
not show much difference; for the
cellar it was 21.3 lbs. against 23,8 lbs,
for those in the caees. The average
number of combs covered in the spring
shows an advantage for those wintered
outside, being 5.4 as egainet 5.0 for
the cellar. These figures are taken
from October 11, when *a bees were
packed oittside, and April 15 when the
bees were removed from the cellar, It
hasalsobeen found that eealed covers
have given better results at Ottawa
than upward ventilation, also that 8
inches of packing gives as good re-
sults as 6 filches....
