(contributed by OntarloDepartment of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
The California Fruit Growers, Ex-
ohange ablpped 17,857,417 boxes ef.
oranges, lemons and grapefruit ii
45,258 cars to points outside Cali-
fornia; increased its proportion of all
citrus fruit grown in the state from
68.7 to 75,8 per cent.; returned ;56,-
223,460 to its members; lost through
failure of customers only 16,926.70;
did all this business at a cost pf 1.51
per cent. of the delivered value and,
including advertising, 2.48 Per cent,
Such is the record for its last finan-
cial year of the California Fruit
Growers' Exchange, whose products'
are best known to Canadian consum-
ers by the brand "Sunkist."
An immense Bange of Business.
The California Fruit Growers' Ex-
change is the oldest and largest of
the California Co-operatives. In the
last twenty years it has returned to.
its members $646,000,000 from the
sale of their products. it is a feder-
ation of 208 local associations with
11,000 'members. The locals each
have their own packing houses and
are fully responsible, financially and
otherwise, for their own local activi-
ties. They are grouped into 21 dis-
trict exchanges,, Each district .ex-
change has one director on the board
of the California Fruit Growers' Ex-
cbange, which owns the brand "Sun-
kist" and acts as the Central Selling
Agency for all the fruit. It has busi-
ness connections with 3,600 whole-
salers, who sgrve 400,000 retailers,
who in turn serve 113,000,000 con-
sumers Iia Canada and the United
States.
The :Market Is Still Growing.
Themarket demand for its pro-
ducts is being constantly increased by
the Exchange. Twenty-five years ago
the orange growers of the State were
faced with what they thought was
over -production. Since then produc-
tion has quadrupled and the crop is
still consumed. Judicious advertising
and merchandlzing methods have
kept demand equal to or ahead of
supply. A levy of four cents a box
on oranges and 6t} cents a box on
lemons pays for it all. Advertising
and dealers' service work 3s directed
chiefly to the retailer and consumer.
In any cross -road village in Ontario,
where you could not buy an Ontario
apple, you will find oranges constant-
ly displayed according to directions
worked out by those wide-awake
growers in Southern California.
Lower Freight hates Sectuea.
Last year an arrangement was
made with the railways by which,
through the use of larger cars and
quantity shipments, a lower freight
rate was secured an oranges. The
reduction will effect a saving of
$3,000,000 a year to the orange
growers of the State. This works nut
to 14 cents a box. Tbe total cost of
the organization's services, exclusive
of advertising, is 6.86 cents per box
or less than half tbe amount 01 the
reduction.
Organized Effort Pays the Producer.
The oldest and best Co-operative
Marketing. Association of California,
after a quarter of a century of suc-
cessful experience, is still demon-
strating that the farmers' mark, tine
problems can only be solved thrtuge
organized marketing effort by the
farmers ting.eelet.s.-1t. D. Cul-

England might be said to date from
1670. From thio time on rapid
strides were made in the manatee -

Queen, Anne and Georgian periods,be-
ing particularly notable. .
Mirror glass in its early stages was
'blown" and beyond the length of
three and one-half feet was too thin
to serve as mirrors. In case a great-
er length was desired, it was emcee
-
sexy to add a second piece, and thus
the longer glasses of the early eigh-

pieces, one overlapping the other, or

In the earlier part of the Georgian
period the revival of the Queers Anne;
mirror began, and by 1800 the lines
of this model were much seen. - Pre-'
rlous to this looking -glasses were
manufactured in large' numbers in'
this country, and from 1780 to 1790,
we famous "Constitution" glassed
were made. This period also marked
the vogue of the quaint Girandoles

causes you to pause momentarily and
to wonder whether you aro In a
world of fact or o2 fiction. For
acmes the front of a first class gro-
cery, ,patronlzed by foreigners, you
read: Dombey & Son, Limited.
Was it in childhood or only re-
cently that you read a novel by that
name? What of Paul Dombey anis
his devoted sister, Florence, and their
cold-blooded, parse -proud father?
Surely it was fiction, somehow asso-
ciated with the streets of Londpn.
Yoe recall that Mae, Dombey, who
lived in Portland Place and had' an
office in the financial district; ha'd a
consuming ambition. His wife had
died, without much grief to bin, acid
his hopes were concentrated i0 the
little invalid Paul, his son,

Walking here, in Bubbling Well

world of fiction In which Dickens --
lived, you see Mr. Dombey's ambition
realized. How did he !tinier' to ap-

thriving business after he had ended
hie career and had been appropriate-
ly buried in English soil by Dickens?
Chinese wit did it. A Chinese gro-

name which, when translated, sound-
ed like Bonita. Some one called
him Dombey, Tirat led an English-
man to refer to his flim jokingly as

WINTERING 1331118.
Every Co1'ony Should Hare a Queen
. —Have Enough 13ees Keep fu
'a Naturally Peetected Place.
Every spring beekeepers find_
from 5% to 50':5 of their colonies
have died during the winter, or are
very weak.• There is no reason why
the winter loss should be higher than
2r/c or 2%, provided the beekeeper
will prepare and pack the bees pro-
perly. So says Prof, Ertc Millan of
the Ontario Agricultural College.
Every Colony Should Have a Qxleen.
The that step is to make sure
every colony has a queen. As it 1s
too late to regimen now, queenless
colonies should be united with those
having a queen. Place a sheet of
'newspaper on top of a tasting que,•n-
i•ight colony, and place the brood -
chamber of the quet'nte119 colony 011
top, Leave them for a week, and
then shaky' the hove into the lower

Have Suficient Bees.
The next step is to see that oaeh •
colony has sufficient bees to cover at
least three frames on both sides, if
examined on a cold morning when the
bees are clustered, This will insure
enough bees to come -through the
winter, provided the stores and pro-
tection are adequate. A very Ina-
portant factor of wintering is the
question of. food. Many beekeepers.
give every colony ten or fifteen
pounds of sugar syrup made in the
proportion of 21/4 of sugar to one of
water, and fed, in an Inverted feeder
oyer the brood frames. This is done
In many cases regardless- of the
amount of stores the colony has.
Every colony should have at least 45
pounds of food to ensure successful'
wintering, and an opportunity to in-
crease in strength In the spring.
Keep In a Naturally Protected Place..
Bees should be kept in a naturally
protected' place for winter, or a board.
fence should bo erected around the
apiary to form a wind protection.
Colonies may be packed singly, two'
1n a case, four In a 0118e, or in any
other way desired by the beekeeper.
Three or four incites of packing
should_ be placed all around the epl-
ony, and not less than eight inches,
on top. Dry loaves, planer shavings
or• cork Millie make satisfactory
packing material. If the beekeeper
will see that his colonies aro put
away for winter :in good condition.

Here is the Summer Home of Mister Jack x?"rost Himself
TEES is tbe Ice Cave in Mount Sir
A Donald, near Glacier, B.C. The
fight of the sun streams in through
he opening' at the 'far end causing
the frozen walls to glisten as though
aunt of a thousand times ten thou
;and diamonds. . It is rumored that
:his -is the official summer residence
of Jack Frost himself, to which tbe
^hilly afonareh retires for hitt an-
1na1 nap from springtirento autumn.
And this is a scene from air.
Frost's private grounds, on the roof
of the world in the Canadian Pacific
ltockles. It is here, so we under-
stand, that Mr. Frost monde most of
hit time Ilehen not asleep in 111s
Cave. For it pastime he enjoys most
of all riding around on chunks of
fWaling Ice and his favourite food
is a good, deep crackly glacier which
he preterit coated with it generous
frosting of newly fallen snow, When
the winter comes and the nights are
long find dreary he lets out a wild
wbobp of joy (so we aro told), Jumps
on a passing snow cloud and aniis
away over the continent, Dashing
down mammies and heaping us
snow drifts wherever ho goes.
