of our church, making his home in
Sarnia. His text was taken from
Zech. 2: 1, 2, where a man with a
measuring line went forth to meas-
ure Jerusalem, his theme following'
the line of measuring. 1. Some
things can be measured as buildings
and distances, 2. But sone things
can not be measured as a library as
the number of books it contains, but
it is the sum total of the thought and
and influence manifest In active life.
You cannot measure mind for it is
beyond what man can accomplish.
You cannot measure Bible though it
may have dimensions yet its influence
and power manifest all down through
the ages cannot be reckoned up. You
cannot measure the church, and the
minister dealt particularly with the
work and influence of the church, made for a missionary for the Hur-
past and present, locally, and as it on District, or Queen's Bush. Rev.

OUTDOOR WINTERING
Though outdoor wintering ie be-
coming very popular and is consider-
ed highly successful, there still come
in reports of losses which, however,
are usually the result of inadequate
preparations being made for the win-
ter.
Wintering outdoors Weans more
than merely placing ore's colonies in
their winter cases and leaving them
there to plus the winter. It means
preparing the bees in the best way
possibly that they may COMP met
A+'0111. a e.ic .. r+ fats lel' tit. :,}en;;
colonies are the profitable ones.
With this in view, preparations
should be started about the enol of
July by seeing that the colonies are
headed by young queens or at least
vigorous ones, in order that a large
force of young bees may be produc-
ed. Should there be no fall flow to
stimulate brood rearing it may be
necessary to feed.
Winter cases having been made
according to ore's own design or to
drawing which may be had by writ-
ing to the Bee Division, Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa, about the
end of September the colonies after
being weighed, are placed in the
cases and four inches of packing i$
placed underneath and about the
sides of the hives. The colonies are
then fed, if necessary. Any ten -
frame Langsworth hive without its
outer cover that does not weigh at
least 75 pounds should be fed 1 Ib.
of sugar for every pound lacking in
a syrup composed of 2 parts best
granulated sugar to 1 part water.
For straight wintering, sugar which
contains no residue to clog the bees'
intestines is superior to honey, in
that sugar breaks down into ons and
water, whereas honey leaves a resi-
due --honey, however, is necessary
for brood rearing in the spring.
The bees being fed the required
amount of syrup or; as much as they
will take down, the top packing is
put in place.
Natural windbreaks should be used
if available; otherwise wooden fen-
ces similar to the snow fences of the
railroad should be provided to break
the piercing winds that would strike
and chill the colonies.
The above requirements for good
wintering being satisfied no further
attention will be required until
spring.

THIS YEAR'S APPLE CROP
•
The Yield Is Estimated At About 75
Per Cent of Last Year's
The commercial apple crop for
Ontario is now estimated at 75 per
' cent., er 714,530 barrels, as conn -
pared with 950,140 barrels in 1925,
and 66 per cent of a Ave year aver-
age.
Last year Ontario shipped 4,751
rio's of apples and figuring upon the
present estimate 3,578 care should
be shipped this year, Although the
season started out two weeks late,
the fruit is sizing well and color in-
dications are goof,
The crop is not as heavy as lest
year, but the fruit is well distributed
through the trees, and with favor-
able conditions it .is expected will
size up well, thereby comparing more
favorable with that of last year.
In Eastern Ontario varieties pro-
mising a good yield are Duchess,
Wealthy, Fameuse, Stark and Golden
Russett, 'while McTntosn and Spy are
light. In Western Ontarin vntieties
promising a full yield are Duchess,
Wealthy, Golden Rased, King, Bald-
win and Famensc, and in sono tlis-
trictc Greening.
S. S. 'Cooper has leased the Rat-
tenbury House, Clinton, for tart
years to Louis Rousso, of Hanover,
who will take possession the middle
of September. Mr. Rousso' has con-
ducted a hotel at Hanover for some
years. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, who
have not been in the best of health
of late, intend motoring to Califore
nia about the end of the mouth and
will spend the winter there.
