Ho wUl then, study their ways and- will learn to manage them well. He will . learn from bee books and. journals as 'well aa by experience, and also, per - hap, from the friendly adarice of a bee-iseeplag neighbor. Another important condition Is an abundanee of honey -producing flow- ers within a mile or two of the apiary. There is hardly a place in the settled Parts of Canada where this condition ig not fulfilled to some extent. The kind of plant that produce the bulk of the surplus honey are not many. By far the most important are alsilte and white elover fond on almost ev- ery farm. And most plentiful. of course, where. they are grown•for hay, pasture. or seed. In southern Alberti% and the dry interior of British Col - =base elover yields first place to al- falfa. and in the send -cleared lands . of the north to fireweed (Epiloblina ' • anatistifolium), a promising honey plant which is now the subject of a seedlal investigativa by the Bee Di- vision of the Expertise:Mal Fume. Among minor sources ot ourplus . honey are buckwheat and basswood in southern Ontario and southwestern Qftebec; goldeurod and aster, princi- pally in eastern Canada; wild rasp- berry, sweet clover, Canada thistle and various weeds. Red clover is an example of a pleat containing abun- dant nectar in -which the flowers are too narrowand deep for the bees to collect it. A third factor of great importance is suitable weather for the develop- ment of the honey plant and for the secretion and ingathering of the nec- tar. In the case of most plants, in- cluding. white and alsike clover, a moderately wet opting' followed by fine, warm weather when the plants are in full bloom, produces the best results. In such a sieason it is not un- usual to get 150 pounds of honey per -colony in a good clover district. On the other hand, continuous rain or , broken weather during the honey flow, may prevent the production of ally surplus honey. We cannot fore- cast the weather in any part of the• cOuntry, so that the honey crop is as Uncertain as any farm crop. In 1915 the highest yield' per colony from clover was obtained in Nova Scotia; in.,Onterio the crop was only sooderate, and in •the lower mainland a British Columbia, a failure. In 1916 Nova Scotia gave less than the ,aver- age; Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba far above the average, and the lower mainland of British Columbia again a failure. In 1917 Nova Scotia record- ed a failure; southern Ontarto almost an average; Quebec and Manitoba be- low the average and the lower main- land of British Columbia a bountfint crop.sThe shifting. or the good yield from one region to another was due to weather conditions. In the aggre- gate returns, however, Ontario and Quebec led, the Maritime Provinces came next, and Britisb. Columbia third, a comparison of considerable Importance to.the specialist, but less to the amateur. The rise in sugar hae been reflected In the 'honey market. In the last two years the demand for honey has been very great; the price has risen 3 to 5 cents a pound within the past few mouths, and white extracted honey at the time of writing is being quoted at 14 to 17 cents per pound wholesale. eaee-keeping needs but little capi- tal, can be carried on anywhere, even in a vacant lot in the city, and is not particularly laborious. The bees re- quire attention only in pleasant wea- ther, knowledge and foresight being needed to do all that is necessary until the wether is again likely to be favorable. o• • THE COST OF 'MILK PRODUCTION AND THE leAltalER'S The principles of cost 'accounting used in manufacturing should be applied teeetgrieulture„ not that the farmer may always e41t.libOve eost, for at Utiles he sells below cost, but that he may know that the average selling *nee „will at least equal the coat • andthete allow' him toe break even. „Were- the results. of . such coat aceountink for the budnese of milk production known to the. farmer as well as the consumer, the former would beetir himsele to- reduce his costes while the latter, recoghizing the nar- row margin of profit mien which the farmer Is Working in iproducing a staple food product, would cease his ' „ehlind criticism, and be willing to pay te fair price for milk, which is one of chatePaSt • feeds. e• To find the cost of Milk prciduction le no sinecure in aecaniting, because of the complexity of the conditiona surrounding the inanetene but the int- , yortatice of ties product has led to a • 'Many investigationetwIth the follow - A lug average result, using preset -day ;feed and labor chargee: " Expenditure Per Cow.

IN SES WITH 41YES OF AMY" A Trip Up in a British Cap- tive Balloon. To Tell the Guns Where to Place Shells. I3ehind British Linea in France, Feb. 15. --(Correspondence of theeAs- sociated Press) --"Would you care to go up?" asked the polite British officer in charge of the big kite balloon, one of the long line of captive sausages, the "Eyes of the Array," which swings as though pendant from the clouds all up and down the fighting line, from the British Channel to the Swiss border: "Certainly," replied the correspond - en, So an extra:warm overcoat and muf- fler were brought out and donned, and most important of ail, the parachute harness was fitted on. By this time the, balloon had been connected up to the Winch and 'every - himself was ready. The officer hoisted himself upinto the car with an agility born of long practice, while the vittitor was aesisted to his piece by the "car men," who then hooked the paractiute b.artiess to the parachute, which hung justoutsidethe little Wicker car. ' Jating out from one side of the car was a board on which was pasted a large-scale trench map of the district. In pockets inside the ear were maps, air photographs and field glasses. ' On the rigging of the cer was a dial to show the altitude ana an indicator reg- istering the force of the wind in miles per hour. Just above, dominating all, was the huge bag of floating fabrie, only kept in place by the crowd of soldiera bolding the handling guys. The slender cable: and its sister -tele- phone Wires stretched lazily across the grass to the Winch ,on a big Mott:1r lorry nearby. • - The observer fixed the telephone re- ceiver to his head, He tested the line by calling hp the winch party, the ex- change, and the chart room at the Bal- loon ,Section Headquarters, Satisfied that all was ship-shape, he waved his ; arm to the flight sergeant on. the ' ground, who ordered 'crisply: "Let up hand ,Over hand,' and thee, ."Walk forward tletaivineh." • The ground. began to sinklievay.

So it was not until the point- er signified 4,200 feet, that lee tele- phoned down tho order, "'Stop the winch," and the business of the. day begao. „ Artillery observation was the offi- cer's appointed task. A British bat- tery was going to "take on" a German battery, and the obserrer made his Preparations aecordingly. Ile had the positions of the two batteries marked on his map, but he w anted to make sure of the position of the balloon. So he 'mica out over the side of the ear, verified his lanilmarka, and tele- phoned the results to the chart -room. "Lot me know when they are ready," seld he. There was a pause. Theis a short nionos•yliable conversa- tion, and the balloon officer gave the order "fire," and adjested his glasses to his eyes. For the next fifteen minutes. the of- ficer ems too busy "ranging," but from time to time he passed down a remark which showed that he was not confining his atte4ion to ranging guns, but had also an alert eye for flashes of enemy guas anywhere 7711,11 - In his range of observation. The range of vision was roughly twenty miles. After the first order of "fire," a boom in the distance indicated that the order had been obeyed. The bal- loon officer frowned slightly, and telephoned a correction. A moment later the battery anneanced again that it was ready, and this time the result was better. The process con- tinued. Once the. observer asked to be put into direct communication with the battery, and the exchange -ar- ranged accordingly, Apparently the result of lids conference was satisfac- tory, for soon the observatioa came through as correct. A few more rounds and tate balloon ,requested the battery to start firing for effmt. 'While this was being done, another battery was rung up and ranging Cloae on another target, the balloon observer occasionally switch- ing his glaeses to the old target to e,:e.tyhat the goes were shooting cor- louNow and again the observer passed down a x.nessage to the effect that "Blank -Blank is active." IllankeBlank was another hoetile battery, not at Present engaging a ttelltion. Some- times he interpolated a slttle message for the chart -room such as: "Flash observed two five minutes left of Blank -Blank," Blank -Blank be- ing a landmark easily 'found on the map, so that the flaeh position could be marked on the chart -room for at- tention later. There were four hours of this work before the officer gave the order, "Haul down." A slight jerk showed that the descent had begun, and fif- teen minutes later terra' firma was reached mut the balloon Was off up- wards, again with a fresh crew. Down in the chartroom, the report of the daY's work so far showed that three German batteries hied been "neutralized" and two new battery positions ,discovered. In duo course, the latter two would be cared for in a manner that would place them also on the list of neutralization. Not every balloon ascent is so smooth and peaceful as this.

It would be a mistake to suppose that the bird's wings enable it to fly. If wings spelled•flying• any of us could attach a pair and soar into the air. The hollow bones of the birds make light bodies, but they are attached to a rigid backbone, which forms the main feature of the bird's body. This gives the scentral firmness, and the muscles do the .rest. The wings bal- ance their owners. and the tail acts as a rudder for steering. Often enough the bird seems to use its tail as a sort of brake. It is interesting to compare the bird with the product of mau's skill -the aeroplane. To begin with, there is no aeroplane made, which copies the up and down motion of the bird's wings, all our machines having fixed wings, or planes. But naturally man tried. to copy the living fliers around him. He made wings of feathers. etc.. connected them with his shoulders and legs and found that his muscles could not raise him an inch. The muscles, or meters, which now drive him through tne air, are as strong as 200 horses, so no wonder he failed at first. Even the bird, with a body so perfectly formed for flight, tas flying muscles equal in weight to all its other muscles put together.- Pearson's Weekly.

His ideal is made up or a number of different factors, mich as Shapeliness, restriction of wood growth, opennras of top, lowering of the tree, and others of like nature. No two men prune alike, because each man puts a sonmwhat different value on ea& of these various factorS. Every time a limb is lopped off or a twig removed a dec1s1o4 has to be made, based on the pruner's conscious or Uneonabitilis reference to these factors. There is one factor which ought to bo far more prominent in the ideal of the man behind the saw -the Control of disease. In many eases this feature in pruning is ahnost etitirely absent from the pruner's scheme, and in most pruning operations It does not receive the censideration It deserves, Yet pruning operations can be made mater- ially helpful 111 reducing a coesider.• able number of fruit tree diseaees.

Having found it, you araw an imaginary line, beginning at the star forniing the bot- tom of the bowl farthest. from the handle, out through the star marking the rine of the dipper opposite the, handle, and you extend. that straight line out until it intercepts a star, birIghter than any near it, and at a* point duo north.

When Properly Invested They " Help to Develop Our 0ountry. What work does the sa-ved dollar do to help make this country a better place for the saver? At a meeting of the American Bankers' Assohiation an intelligent answer was ,-made by a man who is well qualified to speak. Ile said: "While a detlar saved bya work- man helps to give .to some:workman a job, so does every other dollar of savings, whether it comes .from wages or interest or profits. "The econemic effect of a dollar saved, and invested is just the same, whether the owner is a wage diner, an employer er an heir of inherited wealth, Income, however, it originates, that is saved and put to reproductive uses, performs an inevitable service for society. "Every form of savings finally seeks investznent, and if yen will follow the investnient through to Its ultimate re- action you will see it putting men to work; you will see it enlarging the agricultural, ,the industrial or tha transportation Ceillipulent of the van munity; you will see it creating new demands for labor, raising the rate of wages and increasing the produc- tion of things which in -ern desire. "If savings are devoted to reproduc- tive purposes, it makes no differeuce whether they are the -savings of the Workman or of the millionaire, they Ultimately accomplish the same result -they increase the supply of things that the whole connnunity wants." Ia. A. Vanderlip said that. itis true. Your $50 in the scoings bank 'works at the sante jobs to Which the e50,e90 Of the rich man is sent. If the men who manage the work are honest and capable they use our saved dollars to Make this country worth living in, worth working in, worth being proud of, Worth fighting Lo proaerve.-John M.
