Martin Bur - rel, Minister of Agriculture, a timely bulletin on bee -keeping h;.s been issued by the Federal Department of Agricul- ture. According to a statement of the author, Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Domin- on Entomologist, this work has been prepared to meet a very persistent de- mand for information by persons who wish to learn how to begin and to con- tinue the industry of apiculture. It was the further object of the author to increase the number of bee -keepers in Canada by indicating the advantages of bee -keeping. It is pointed out that bee- keeping returns the direct profit of a honey crop and the indirect oneof im- provement to yields of clover seed and fruit. It is observed that a bullock aft - et being fed and cared for during a whole winter will not realize much more than the produce of a colony of bees in a sing- le colony of bees in a single season. Beginners are recommeded to started on a small scaleiwith one or two hives in- creasing the number annually as exper- ience is gained. This treatise of 45 pages, which is helpfully illustrated, covers, in plain language, the whole field of apic- ulture, including equipment, manage- ment, the production of honey and wax diseases, legislation of various provinces against bee diseases, etc. It is desig- nated "The Honey Bee," Bulletin No.2 Division of Entomology and No. 69, Ex- perimental Farms.

Old Jasper can't make up his mind; he looks before, he looks behind, and springs a grist of hems and haws and quotes a string of ancient saws, and asks advice from Dick and Tom, and gets no benefit therefrom. He's always on the ragged edge; he makes a plan and then he'll hedge, discard it for another plan, and then on that he'll tie the can. When Jasper started his career propitious gods were smiling near; he had more chances to succeed than any swaybacked mortals need; but always he would hem and haw, and shy at bogies made of straw, and pause to read the book of rules, and manufac- ture obstacles. And Jasper, as we go to press, is snorting round in great dis- tress. He's been abandoned by his frau; the sheriff levied on his cow; he has no place to sleep or eat; the Coppers shoo him from the street. "I never had no luck," ho cries, and with his whiskers wipes his eyes. "By all the fates I've been accurst; the world has kicked me from the first," I see lots more from day to day, all headed down the same old way. The lane of inde- cision goes into a region rank with woes. -Walt Mason. aoiminemiasemersimmesemm s'emainsimaramma 7 Cents a Day" Offer Stirs all Canada!

"I was a martyr to Ilay lever for probably fifteen years and I suffered terribly at times. T consulted many physicians and took their treatment, and I tried every remedy I heard of as being good for IIay Fever but nothing helped use. Then I heard of "Fruit-a•tives" and decided to try them, and I ant thankful to say that this remedy cured me completely. To every sufferer from Ilay Fever, I wish to say -"Try Fruit.a-tives". This medicine cured me when every other treatment failed, and I believe it is a perfect cure for this dreadful disease - Hay Fever" MRs. HENRY KEMP. The real cause of Hay Fever is poisoned blood, due to the faulty action of the bowels, kidneys and skin. "Fruit-a-tives" cleans the blood by regulating bowels, kidneys and skin - and thus relieves the excessive strain on the nervous system.

Few persons are aware that the soil used by florists for filling window boxes and flower pots is sterilized. This is not done to kill germs, but to destroy all animal and vegetable life in the soil so that weeds will not be springing up along with the flowers and worms eat- ing their way through the wooden boxes. The sterilizing plant consists of a large bin with steam pipes running through it about four feet apart. Along these pipes there are holes every few inches. The soil -which is sod, plowed up and left to decay for a year -is dumped in. Then the steam is turned on for half an hour. At the end of that time the process is completed. "It's simple enough," said Charles E. Heite, as he explained the process. "But one thing has to be avoided. If the soil is heated too much it becomes useless. Some of the elements are destroYed by excessive heat." -Kansas City Star. Electric Restorer for Men Phosphonol restores every nerve in the body to its proper tension ; restores von and vitality.

A small amount of buttermilk added to the sweet cream, when enough has been gathered for a churning, helps to facilitate the ripening of it these cool days. Though careful feeding will to some extent increase the amount of milk, tho butter quality cannot be improved much except by breeding up the herd, The way to do is to select cows which give large quantities of milk having a higher per cent of butter fat than that contained in the milk from the cows you already possess. If you keep a buil, keep him for breeding purposes ,and have one worthy of that honor. The other bulls either dispose of when they are calve* or else convert them into steers. See that your calves don't get poor this fall,.for if they do the chances are they will stay poor all winter. No dairy utensils will stay sweet and wholesome unless they are thoroughly washed and scalded every time they are used. First wash off with luke- warm water the milk adhering to them, then wash well with hot water containing soda or some good wash- ing soda, using no soap at all. If there Is any dirt which a cloth will not remove try a brush. Finally scald with strictly boiling water, for other - Admirers of the Guernsey cow contend that she has no pronounced weak points. The addition of Guern- sey blood in crossing with cows of mixed breeding will result in a high- er milk flow and In richer milk. The deep and prolonged milking quali- ties of the pure bred Guernsey, to- gether with adaptabtlity.to the con- ditions of the average farm, make this type of dairy cow a formidable competitor to the breeds that have a wider and greater distribution. Glencoe nopeep, shown herewith, is a fine type of the breed. wise the bacteria will not be destroyed and drain on a 'sunny bench or shelf. The udder of a cow should be elas- tic and pliable and show many folds •when milked out. If it is symmetrical and well proportioned, as it should be, the teats will be about equal distances apart and smooth and evenly shaped. A large udder does not always indi- cate that the cow is a good one, but it is imperative that her milk veins be large, and the more winding and branching they are the better. Though these veins do not carry milk, as one would naturally suppose, they convey blood from the udder to the body, and the more blood that passes through the udder the more milk the cow will give, in that milk is produced from the blood. Judging the Age of a Horse. "To tell the age of a horse," says Professor E. L. Potter of the Oregon Agricultural college, "notice his teeth, his ribs, the flesh on his tail and the skin on his cheeks. In young horse the skin on his cheeks is soft and elas- tic and flits backquickly, while in an old one the skin is lifeless and goes hack to place but slowly. There is a wider, more distinct space apparent between the ribs of an old horse than of a young one. Aud with age the flesh on the tail shrinks, making the joints more distinct. "The most accurate method of judg- ing is by the teeth. The temporary teeth come first and then tho perma- nent ones, and their development to maturity, -change in shape on account of wear, coining of the 'cups' and their ultimate wearing away, with the change in angle of meeting from per- pendicular to an acute angle in age, are all important indications of age. "The permanent teeth above and be- low come in at the same time, but the cups above do not wear away until alt those below are gone. The changes be- gin at the center and continue at the rate of one pair a year. At maturity (eve years) a horse has everything - all the permanent teeth and their cups. This is the whole thing in a nutshell." BANANA CLOTH. It has been left to the Chinese to teach us how the tons of banana fibre thrown on the rubbish heap every year can be converted into banana cloth and sold at a most remunerative price. Vie process of manufacture is very simple. One -year-old plants are select- ed and the stock is unrolled and steam- ed over cauldrons of boiling water till soft. It is a simple matter then to re- move the green outer skin by passing strips of the stalk through an instru- ment provided with a couple of blunt blades which act as scrapers. The fibre thus obtained is placed in eloth and pounded In order to drive out excess moisture, and isnext cleaned and twisted into yarn for weaving. Banana cloth is said to be eminently suitable for tropical wear and is very durable. At present the price would seem to be almost prohibitive, as a roll of banana cloth five yards long and one yard wide sells for about $5.70. As the enterprise is a brand new one high prices are to be expected, but they ,are sure to right themselves as the demand for this kind of cloth grows and the supply endeavors to keep pace with it. Cuba Opportunities. When your child has whooping cough be careful to keep the cough loose and expectoration easy by giving Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy as may be requir- ed. This remedy will also liquify the tough mucus and make it easier to ex- pectorate. It has been used success- fully in many epidemics and is safe and sure. For sale by all dealers. Grade the Swine. Grade the hogs as to size, thrift and general condition and separate them into two or three lots before beginning to feed them for the market. You thus will realize greater profits from the sale of swine, since each herd will be more uniform in size and condition. Besides, each lot of hogs may be ted more economicaIIy, since what meete the needs of some will not meet the needs of all. -Farm and Fireside. Excess of Moisture. The Weekly Sun of last week says: Ontario, which suffered so severely from drought last year, is threatened with corresponding loss this season, owing to excess of moisture. Grain seeding, which should have been finish- ed the first week in May, is not yet complete. Corn and mangel planting is also being held back. Land on which grain was sown has been flooded and prospective yields there from greatly reduced. While the general crop situ- ation is causing alarm the abundance of rain has produced a profusion of pasture and assured a good hay crop and the fruit outlook, with the possible exception of peaches, is promising. May Health Report. The Provincial Board of Health has issued its report for the month of May, recording all cases and deaths of com- municable diseases reported by local Boards of Health. It shows in alt 1,349 cases as against 1,130 for the same month last year. Deaths, however, have fallen off from 184 to 145. There has been a marked decrease in scarlet fever this year, the number of cases being reduced from 426 in May 1911 to 297 last month, with approximate de- crease in the death rate. The disease of measles, however, has flourished this year and 588 cases were reported as against only 254 in May of last year, while the number of deaths almost doubled. Smallpox, diphtheria, whoop- ing cough, typhoid fever and tuberculo- sis show figures practically the same as those of last year. The deaths from tuberculosis have, however, dropped from 109 to 58. ++43144.4.4f4l ' .*.1.4++++4.4.4.+.+x4. +4.4.4.444.4.444.4.37.44.444.4.4.4.444.4.4. I.
