Use Marsh Hay or Clean Straw— Apply In Fall, When Ground Is Frozen—Renovating Old Patches —Winter Conditions for Bees e Why Plant Trees? ((Contributed b Ontario OepartmenttoY Agriculture, Toronto.) The practice of applying a coating of straw, strawy manure, or marsh hay over the strawberry bed after permanent ,host has set in and the ground is solid, has proved of great value, This mulch prevents alternate freezing• and thawing in -the spring, and heaving of the plants, both of which cause at times heavy loss. It also protects the plants if the snow- fall is light, anis is even more valu- able when pulled between the rows in the early spring. This conserves moisture and more especially keeps the fruit clean. Driving rains splash. the fruit with dirt, particularly on sandy land, which will much loosen4, the value of the crate or shipment into which these berries are put. A box of dirty berries will ruin the appearance 'of a whole crate. Marsh Ray or Clean Straw Best Mulch. Marsh hay or clean, medium length, straw are the best materials to use, Greene manure is not good because of the large number of weed seeds it contains. No material which will pack over the plants is to be recommended. As two to three inches is sufficient mulch, and a heavy coating ivay cause heating in the spring before removal, it is not advisable to use more. About two tozis per acre is required. When it is desired to hold the plants back in the spring to prevent olossom killing by late frosts, the mulch is best applied on top of the first heavy snow fall" It should be removed in all cases before the plants start growth, as after that .time much damage may be done by smothering. After harvest the mulch :s removed, burned, or, if suitable, can be stacked hs a protected place for use another year. iienosatlirg an Old Patch. In renovating an old patch it Is not advisable to burn the mulch and crowed leaves on the patch. These should be raked off and burned out- side the patch, to avoid injury to the crowns of the plants. No crop should be grown between the rows in a strawberry bed for cover crop or protective purposes. This provides too much competition. for the plants in;moisture and food at a time when the grower wants them to fill up the rows for the fol- lowing year's fruiting.—D. A. Kim- ball, 0. A. 0., Guelph. Winter Conditions for Bees. To winter bees successfully the colonies must have: A sufficient supply of proper food; A good, fertile queen; Plenty of good workers; Sufficient protection from cold and wind. While the winter food, either honey or sugar, should have been in the hives by October 1, it may still be given to the bees. Protection is afforded either by packing properly er insulating the hives outdoors, or oy transferring thele to a good cellar where' at least five conditions can be maintained: darkness, freedom from disturbance, a temperature of from 44 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, proper ventilation and freedom from mois- ture. A dark place is best, as bees usu- ally fly to windows, doors or lamps, aid do not return to their hives. Freedom from disturbance includes not only absence of noise but ,absence of jarring and vibration. An even; reasonable • temperature must be ;maintained in order that the bees may not break their winter cluster. .Proper ventilation is required in or- tter to prevent acctunlation of moiss • titre and to aid in maintaining the needed temperature as well as ade- quate supplies of air. Dryness is re., quired or the bee -bread combs will ,cold, some of the honey will fer- ment and the bees will be uneasy. Why Plant Trees? Trees add value to property. Trees cool the air in summer , and radiate warmth in winter. Trees help keep the air pure for man and the lower animals. Trees provide homes for thou- sands of birds that help man in hid light against injurious insects. Trees provide homes for many anima mals that are useful to men forfood and clothing. ' Trees help man in his fight for better sanitation. Trees "supply a large part .of all the fuel in the world. Trees give uswood; and wood pro. vides us with building material, fur- niture, implements, utensils, tools, and other useful` things in great variety. Trees provide one of the mos'r. striking and permanent forms o1 beauty. Trees improve the climate and cons serve soil and water. Trees provide a great variety of miscellaneous, useful products.—Thi Maritime Farmer. Where the walls join the floor of the stable, be certain that the cement is rounded; not like a "quarter+ round" but like a ''cove." It wil help to keep the barn clean. Do no neglect this precaution because itk'may be slightly inconvenient for the peri son doing the cement work; 'remem• ber the inconvenience it will be daily not to have the rounded corner.

HIS MAJESTY'S MAILS ON CANADIAN PACIFIC 1.7-A comfortable corner of the Baggage Car. 2. -Exterior of one of the new Canadian. Pacific Mall and Baggage Cars. 3. Another view of. the Baggage Car. • • 9. T6le ie where the malls are sorted. Almost every day we rely upon His Majesty'•s Postal service.' for the delivery certain at ter m hours of letters and parcels whichare of value andwhich would lose their value were they delivered tardily. • 'Seldom have we cause to complain of the service rendered in exchange for our few cents and we have come to expect the efficient regularity of that service regardless of the . natural or economic disturbances which affect other services. The letter was stamped and placed in the postal box. It must be delivered, and with dispatch, ram or shine. Due to the increasing use of His Majesties Mails, the Canadian Pacific Railway has found it necessary to add to its rolling stock, twelve new Mail and Baggage coaches. These, being up-to-date in every respect; provide every facility for the handling of the mail, and a number of conveniences for the clerks which the older type of cars could not boast of. The "All Steel" cars are some of the finest used by Postal authorities in the world, and the Company is to be congratulated,, in'that providing every facility for the quick handling of postal matter, it has kept an eye to the comfort of the clerks. Theforward end of the travelling Post Office, for such it iseris used mainly for storage purposes. On one side, movable iron stanchions separate the bags destined for the various towns en route, and on the other is thegas stove, for cooking purposes, ice water tank, lavatory; wash basin, and clothes cupboard —innovations. which are greatly commended by the clerks. The rear end of the mail compartment is the business end. A long 'rev'ersible table, running lengthwise, allows the clerk to face either side of the car in order to sort his parcels into the bags "which are supported by folding racks, and into the boxes conveniently arranged above the bags for the :accommodation of newspapers, and which can be quickly emptied by. the simple expedient of raising the front. At the rear endis a table, the full width of the car, and behind this are the hundreds of pigeon holes into which the clerk mustdistribute the letters for the various towns, quickly, almost automatically. At his feet as he stands at his table the clerk has a trayinto which the letters posted when the train is at a station, drop. These letters he stamps and distributes with those put on the train at the terminal. Cord with which to tie the letters into bundles is conveniently at hand,and if some of the bundles contain registered mail they are placed into te pigeon holes at one side, 'aver which a wire grating is fitted and locked. Everything is scrupulously clean. The baggage and express end of the coaches is also the last word in car construction. As with the mail section, the doors open in the centre of the compartment, one half of which has a solid floor, the other half being fitted with fish racks. In addition to the conveniences afforded the mail clerks; the baggage rnen have a folding table which fits tightly against the wall when not in use, and which may be utilized asa dinning table and — but nal there is too much business to talk of cards. The twelve new cars were designed by C. 11. Temple, Chief of Motive Power and Rolling Stock, Canadian Pacific Railway, and were constructed by the Canada Car Land Foundry Company, Ltd., Montreal. They are designed to carry. 30 tons of express matter and 10 tons of mail, a total of 40 tons; compared with 30 tons, the capacity of the old type of coach. The Company has adhered to the six wheel truck, but heavier journals have been provided, 5% by 10 in place of the 5 by 9 inches. Another feature of the new coaches is thediaphragm- ends. This eliminates the danger of people•"riding blind". . Until more are constructed, the new coaches will operate between` Montreal and Toronto, Montreal and Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto and SU John, N.B., and Winnipeg, and 'Edmonton on Canadian Pacific lines.
