The morning -Service was tak- en by Rev. Geo, Jewitt, a former resident of the neighborhood, now an honored Superannuated veteran 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.

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. FACTS ABOUT CANADA Area -3,729,665 square miles; slightly larger than elle United States.

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.
