the combs be came empty of brood they were filled twifh food for the winter as the weather became cool the bees- gradu ally clustered closer and closer around their queen unfll finally a fairly com- pact cluster was t formed and except during an occasional spell of warm weather this cluster may remain un broken for a period of five or six months during the winter the cluster moves about within the- hive at all times jceerjing in contact with the food supply towards spring an unknown something will inform the bees that summertime is again on its way and the cluster will gradually loosen and expand and in the centre of the cluster the queen will again resume her work of egglaying only a few eggs are laid at the start but as the days lengthen and the sun be- comes stronger the number gradually increases until as high as- 2500 may be deposited daily in outdoor wintered colonies egglaying us comm cnttieump during thp mnnth ryf mnrfh pruning is one of the moirfvmportant factors in

this enables the plants to go forward without much shock it is important that the soil be carojilly prepared arid well fertilized if one is to secure abundant crops two general systems of planting are about equally popular with the hill system the plants are set about four feet apart each way while if the hedge row system is used the distance between the rows should be about six- feet in order to provide plenty of room for cultivation if the plantation- 3s of considerabie j size the best method to adopt is to run a furrow and set the plant in this for a small plantation thei hills may be opened with a spade with equal success- as a rule there is greater danger of shallow planting than of setting the plants too deep the crown should be at least four inches lower than the level of the ground in such a manner that the row of plants are in a depression cul tivation later on will level up the soil in setting the plant the earth should be trampled firmly above the roots so as to ensure proper contact between the- soil and the small roots these arc trie recommendation in a bulletin on the raspberry and its cul tivation issued by the department of agrfculture at ottawa many varlcjtlps
