An inthresting.example of the value

came up on a farrn near Yellow
Springs: Two, men loaded the truck
with alfalfa ,as high as they could
pitch. The, load was two ahd a half particular type selected depending

' The following' examples illustrate
the varied uses to. which, the trailers
are being put lay farmers: farmer op-

TEREA TYPES oR TRAILERS.

trailers: the two -wheel, the four-
vvheel and the semi -trailer, all of
which are being used by farmers the

A motor -truck is intended, of course,
for hauling. In an emergency, though,

been badly tangled by storms. There (et with a light passenger car and a

or two at a time.
However, a two -ton truck was hitch-
ed -to a nine -foot binder and the wheat
-was cut in short order_ and without
difficulty.
Similarly, another farmer used
motor -trucks last "season for handling
wheat in the field and by their help
found no difficulty in keeping up with

" CEMENT.
,,A bird -bath of simplest construe -
tion, bat which has been_ much enjoyed
by the robbins, blue jays, wrens, and
other feathered denizens of my gar-
den, is here described.
The cover of a large sized,galvaniz-
ed garbage can was used as a mold,
after being carefully lined with greas-
ed paper.
The cover was filled about three-
fourths full with cement; then as the
cement slowly hardeneda it was drawn
gently and constantly with a wooden
paddle, back from the centre and to-
ward. the edge, until, when the -cement
finally "set," it reached tip to the rim
of the covet at the edge, and sloped
very gently and gradually downward
toward the deepest part in the'eentre.

stones, about which gay red and yel-

A similar bird -bath was constraoted
by a neighbor, which, matead of being
set low upon a, tiny 'rockery," was

Oatadeh taa Mae noolt,, In this game
hone 65 the peefotaiers could be
ged while they slung an arm under
the crook of the leg and grabbed the
nose. To be seen hopping arouncd in
that position reminds one very much
of the ostrich; but it's fun, -just try It.
Ankle tag wa'S a game for the girls.
Here the girls to be immune from "it"
-
would make' a lunge for each other's
ankles. Cat course there were some
falls, but it only added to the hilarity
of the children,
ln playing turtle tag, if ono kept
his hands and feet from touching the
g,rouhd, he couldn't be tagged. At
first "the boys tried to fly, but in a few,
moments they discovered it was easier
to drop to the ground and hold their
feet and hands high.
Siutke and bayds-was played by the
teaehers Mid the children. The direc-
tor of garnee told the youngsters that
"the lovely teachers" would be the
birds, which were to be caught within
the circle by the snakes.
Then he called sixteen girls, and had
theni line up in fours. Each line of
four, locking arms, formed 'a snake,
whose business it Has to kill a bird,
without letting go of' each other.
When the head of the snake with ite
free atm caught hold of a bird, the
reet of the snake quickly encircled 17
and the bird was pronounced dead and,
removed from the circle, while the
snake went to the end of the line a'nd
the second snalse was set free, and so
on until all the birds .avere dead.
Horseback tag was the next game,
Ilea.° to keep front being tagged, the
performers had to straddle the baeke
of their fellow contestants.

This bit of philosoPhy collie over
ine first when I was reading the Jour-
nals of Mr. Emerson, I ran acroth -
paragraph in which he tells of
friend of his who was a frequer
traveler in Europe.
This friend, in estimating the co
of one of, his trips, always "added
couple of hundreds to the amount, t
be cheated of, and gave inyself n
more uneasiness when I was ove1
charged here and there."
Emerson commends that as a wis
rule for removing one of the irritatin
annoyances of life. And he quote
Madden's advice th Dr. Johnsom tha
one should raise fruit "enough to ea
enough th lay up, enough to be storm
and enough to rot on the ground."
Such a rule would have seemed ab-
horrent, if not a bit immoral, to most
of us in our younger days. Youth is
very rigorous in defence of its rights
and all righteous causes in general.

Early Sources of Nectar 'arid'
The early soin:ces of nectar and sid-
le len are 'of great inportance ' to the
s9 beekeeper, not from the standpoint' of
the surplus honey 'they May give, bpie
because of the effect they have in
n stimulating the bees th heavy brood
g production and so providing a large
force of worker bees in time for the
harvest,
Most regions in Canada produce a
fair supply of mtheee early flowers,
especially the IVIaritisne Provinces,
Quebec, Ontario and British Colum-
bia. In the prairie provinces, how-
ever, these, early 'sources are linfithd
in many localities, and it becomes nes-
eeeary th feed, the bees' in order to
have them build up strong enough for
a the main flow. ,
It; The rarest important of the very
early plants are the willows and
st maples; they grow abundantly in most
a; parts of Canada and yield both pollen
° and nectar. 'There are many species

I are visited by honey bees. The pussy
I willow (Salix bicolor) is udually the
9i first to bloom. Of the maples, the

The Flower Garden in Spring.
To all lovers of flowers the garden
in spring as a moat enjoyable place;
here one meets old friends among the
spring floweaing plants, which, per-
hapsone has watched the develop-
ment of for years. In many gardens.,
however, there is a dearth• of spring
osvers, but, as there are se many
ardy desirable plants, this,rould eas-
y be remedied if there is the desire
do so.

(Aceminacrophyllum) is very import-
ant. Other plants that yield pollen at
,the same.time are the alder, ash and
elm. .
A little later in the season the com-
mon dandelion and fruit bloom; apple,
pear, -plum, cherey and the wild fruits
are very important, yielding both pol-
len and nectar, and in favorable sea-
sons a good surieus may be obtained,
In the prairie provinces many of the
wild flowers contribute small supplies
of nectar and some pollen. The bush

raspberries also furnish large am-
ounts of nectar and, where wild rasp-
berries grow abundantly large crops

• Horse chestnut, hawthorn, barberry,

of nectar and are iniportant in the
aggregate.
