PLARTSFROMGUTTfNGS FIT BEES_FOR WINTER Plant Propagation as Described by a Master rand. l9s Your Own Developer of ..Gerona tunas—Light Fall Pruning oil Orchards Is. Safe—The llarberre Hedge a Spreader of Rust In Grains,, (Contributed by Ontario Department '4 ,Agriculture, Toronto,) Toward the end of the summer, the . amateur flower grower often wonders how the stock of geraniums in the flower border can be increased and preserved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in the autumn; the last named method not having, perhaps, proved success- fu1 in past seasons. By starting fair- ly early, toward the end of August, before cold chilly nights appear, ;a nice supply of young plants;. more eapecially of all kinds of geraniums of the flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver leaved kinds, can be had by starting cuttings or slips of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three inches deep, ten or twelve inches wide, and from twelve to twenty-four inches in length; an empty haddie (fish)' box will do very well. It should have Nome small holes bored through the bottom for drainage. Pack this box firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stone mor- tar will do. Then take the terminal or top part of the young growth of plants about four or five inches in length, each shoot or cutting having from four to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one of these nodes or leaf joints, making a clean cut with a sharp knife flat across. Cut off some of the lower leaves, leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut off all bloom buds and blossoms where possible. Make a hole or drill in the wet sand deep enough to set fully the length of stem of cuttings in the sand. Water them well once, and -keep the sand moist until cut- tings are rooted, which should be in fire or six weeks' time. The box can,: be set out of doors in partial shade until they first week .in Septembeir when they can be taken into the window. When cuttings have roots about an inch in length dig them carefully from the sand without in- juring the roots and pot them singly into small 21/4 inch pots or set them about two inches apart in well drained shallow boxes in a soil made up of one part sand, one part leaf mould, and about six parts of light loamy soil enriched with one part of dry 'pulverized cow manure from the pasture field. This last is one of the best possible fertilizers for soil for pot plants. Set the young plants in the window in a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Fahr. an ordinary ]rouse temperature. Salvia, Agera- tum,Lady Washington Geraniums, Fuchsias; Iresine, Lobelia and. many other plants can be started from cut- tings in this way.—The late Wm. Hunt, 0. A. College, Guelph: Light Fall 'Pruning Is Safe., Light pruning in fall is permis- sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous and likely to result in serious dam- age from winter killing, especially if the succeeding winter is severe. The injury is caused' by drying out of the cut area and may be prevented by covering all wounds: of dny size with a good covering of paint made from pure lead and oil. Do not use pre- pared paints, as these contain injur- ious benzine or turpentine dryers. To make an effective covering it will be necessary to give not less than two coats, because one coat will not pre- vent checking and drying of green wood. Coal tar makes anexcellent wound covering and is easily applied. This matter of covering' wounds made in fall or early winter is fre- quently slighted by orchard then, but the 'writer has seen such serious damage result from neglect of this• precaution that he feels justified in warning fruit growers with regard to the practice. In experimental trials in the College apple orchard, varie- ties so hardy as Duchess of Olden- burg, Wolf River, Snow and Scott's Winter have suffered very serious in- jury following November pruning with the cuts left unprotected. The wounds dry out around the edges and by spring the dead area is great- ly enlarged, frequently extending down the trunk or branch for a foot or more. The dead bark comes away later leaving a large dead area, detri- mental to the parts above and cer- tain also to decay later. It is not likely that injury would - follow the cutting of branches below an: inch in size unless many were removed and there 'probably would. be no necessity for covering sucb woua7ds:' • Ml above this size, how' ever, should be thoroughly protected. —J.

Iiunrlreds and hundreds of in- stancos'can be cited to show that the coronion' barberry is the most hu - portant factor in the spread of rust in northwest states. In a Govern- ment, h•nlletin on rust and barberry, Dr. C. E. Stakman of Minnesota Tani.: versity Farm relates the experience of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Minn., who had „a bar- berry hedge of 635 bushes, He had tried to grow oats on his farmfor ten y*..trs, but, each year the, black atpr'' ,•last destroyed .uliaiost all the ;retie Then one spring Tie 4estroi ed before the bushes ?i.ad be- ••isted.

Better Bulls. (Contributed by Ontario department of Agriculture, Toronto.) It is taken for granted that the beekeeper has introduced a vigorous Italian queen to every colony in which a failing or poor queen was found, late in July or early Augast If .this bas been done and room pro- vided, so that the queen could lay to capacity and the bees still store any surplus honey that might be harvested, then the beekeeper is in a fair way 'to winter the bees suc- cessfully. There are two other manipulations, however, which should be completed to assure suc- cessful wintering. 4 First, unless one has a first -claws cellar, it does not pay to. attempt to winter weak colonies in the cellar. Weak colonies or nuclei cannot- be wintered outdoors with success at any time. AU colonies covering less than three frames, on both sides; should be united with Other colonies. Thee. best way to unite is to place a sheet of newspaper between each brood- chamber and allow the bees' to .unite without any further attention, except that in a week or two the paper should be removed and the bees left in one hive -body. The second manipulation, and equally important, with having a good queen and a strong colony, is the question of the winter food sup- ply. Beekeepers who are willing -to make an investment of not leas than fifty pounds of first-class honey per colony, are the beekeepers who next season secure the large crops, of honey. If the fall honey is not of known quality, then it will be .better to feed each colony from ten'to'lf- teen pounds of sugar syrup, mixed in the proportion of two of "sugar - to one of water. The sugar` should be thoroughly dissolved, but the syrup must not be `burned. This syrup should be fed while quite warm in an inverted Mason,, Fruit jar :or. honey pail with perforated cover;. and if fed inside an empty super, with the entrance reduced, there will be very little fear of robbing. Feed the warm syrup in the evening and before the end of September. Then if the colony has 50 pounds of natural stores and is headed by a good Italian queen, this colony will then be in shape to• either pack for outdoor winteringor to place in the cellar. In the winter of 1919-1920 the winter loss throughput Ontario was over 50 per cent, yet even in a win- ter when the loss was so heavy, many successful beekeepers wintered practically without loss. It is un- necessary. to have a heavy winter loss in bees, provided.. the beekeepers will give the same thought and 'at- tention to the apiary, which success- ful business men in all walks of lit* give to their individual business.. The office of the Provincial Apiar- ist, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, is always ready to assist bee- keepers in any way to make beekeep- ingmore successful. Consult him, if in doubt.—F. Eric Millen, 0. A. Col- lege, Guelph. Paying Less for Better Bulls. A survey recently made in con- nection with the "Better Sires— Better Stock" campaign carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture shows a general .ratio of one bull to every 18.9 cows. Exper- ience, however, in Pennsylvania, the state which leads in the number of bull associations, shows that 93 bulls are sufficient for the 5,604 cows be• longing to members of the bull asso- ciations, or an average of about one bull for every 60 cows. These fig- ures are taken from the bull associa- tion directory recently issued by the Dairy Division, t ited States Depart- ment of Agriculture. It the mentbere of these associa- tions owned their bulls individually, at the usual rat,o of one bull for every 18.9 cows: they would need 296' bulls instead If 93. Yet the 93 bulls • give the required service as effectively as. 2:4; would do, attd in fact better, beet... ea the resuiting off- spring are "bett :tr. • The association bulls are of betty"•r• quality than the ordinary run 01 -`-tis privately own- ed, and their ti elgeters are net to :ie better-producleg cows. , Even thin di ee rot tell the whole 3t'try.

Through Support of Public, Ontario. Maintains Greatest Children's Hos- pital on This Continent. Dear Mr, Editor:— Nowadays peopr'e look ahead more• than they usud,.to. They realize, for instance, that' the child of to -day is. the citizen of the future. The pri- vilege of this Hospital Is to provide a service whereby any Ontario child. who is weakly, may be made strong.. or if he is crippled, may be set straight. Part of this service consists of personal medical and surgical care of the children. Part is in the school- ing of doctors and nurses to carry the Ugh of medical science into the uttermost corner, of the province.` The whsle is a contribution to CHILD WELFARE work which must commend the Hospital to the sym- pathy and Support of your readers. You probably saw a Quebec de-• spatch deploring the great infant mortality in that province. One great factor which gives the 'Ontario - born child so much better a chance :n life is the maintenance of public philanthfopy of the leading Hospital for children on this continent. And .that child, whether it be pallid of cheekor crooked of limbs, is helped aver the rough spots of infancy and adolescence by this same Hospital. Here are the average day's figures of 1921 attendance:— Cot patients, . ... :... :..: .263 Other patients ... 158 • Total ............ . . 426 During the year the Hospital! Actually saves the lives of scores; upon scores of children. It res;ores; health or straightens limbs for: hun-• dreds•aiore. Every. contributor to the, Hospital funds ..is a. shareholder„•'it/, an. enterprise which wins back: health and happiness for thousands; of children, and thereby gives joy thousands of anxious honied. Remember, -however, that every• child to• whom the elospital's• doors: are opened—and none are refused— adds something to the financipl.bure den which the GREAT MOP})1OR•.., CHARITY has to carry. But it bas: never defaulted on its dividends,, which are paid not in money, but tae m service, • • The continued service of the .•lids•. peat depends on the continted sup-. port of the, public. Aminute, of , mercy costs fifty cents, and the clock in the treasurer's ofice is six months slow. So there are a tot of minutes to catch up. • - . The Hospital is accomplishing ' fifty per cent. more •work, then before« the war. Owing to .higher prices it; requires almost .twice, the money,;t : , May 1 place ,that simple 'but seriou fact before your readers -in connec- tion onnedtion with the 46th Christmas appeal, of the Hospital for Sick Children tot' funds to carry oil another :year o service? 1! of tliftrily yours, rft\r1rrr Chairman of Appeal Committees'
