Cause of the Heavy Loss Experienced During the Past Winter. The very heavy loss of colonies of bees this winter has been due almost entirely to insufficient food and insuf- ficient protection. It is the effect of too little or no packing that I want to discuss in this article. Every bee- keeper is feeling his loss keenly at this time and so I now want to make the statement that most of the losses which were sustained up to the l\rst of March were a direct result of in- sufficient protection. There is no doubt about having had a very severe winter. But it is also true that some bee-keepers have wintered their bee's outdoors with very little loss while others in similar situations have lost from twenty-flve to one hundred per cent, of their colonies. This fact is very significant. The bee-keeper who packed thoroughly is the one who has not sustained unusual losses. Bees generate heat through the consump- tion of food and by muscular activity. If bees are not given adequate pro- tection, then they must consume im- mense quantities of honey in order to keep up the high temperature. For that reason many colonies have starv- ed to death. Colonies that had enough honey to carry them through, if pro- perly protected, have starved because they were not protected and therefore had to consume honey^hat they ought not to have been compelled to use un- til late in the spring. The heating of an unprotected beehive in winter works out about like trying to heat a house with all the doors and window;! open. Bee-keepers must realize that bees to be normal in winter must never cool to less than fifty-seven de- grees in temperature. If their tem- porature falls to forty-five degrees they become numb and unlc.»s they wavM up very soon they die. If the bees are to maintain a temperature of not less than fifty-seven tlegrees in zero weather, it stands to reason that something more than an inch board must separate them from the cold out- side. If the bee-keepers will learn the lesson that they ought to learn from their losses this winter, then the loss may be turned into profit in the future. It sounds well to our ears to console ourselves with the statement that the cold weather was to blame this winter, but if we are to t)roflt from the loss, let us look the facts squarely in the face and admit that wo. as bee-keepers, are to blame. to special distinction. Some q| these names may even be taken from the '.i2 engineers who are on the pen.slon list, whose names breathe of long, meritorious, faithful and in some cases markedly dis- tinguished service. Over two thousund locomotives run in the Canadian Pacific service, with over two thousand engineers. It is< not the intention to name every loco- motive at once, but only those In pas senger service, and to keep each uame as a privilege and a reward. The idea is one which should appeal to every man who knows the value of person- ality in good railroading. It iippeals ! to the C.P.R. because it will make for ; efficiency and encourage that esprit ; de corps which le the keynote of the whole Canadian Pacific System. The engineer does not think of his loco- { motive merely as a machine. It is , something almost human to him. "She's a good engine." you hear one call to a passing conductor, "but full of hard luck." It takes an engineer months to master the peculiarities of a new locomotive, and for that reason he is not much In love with any pool- ing system, preferring to have one enfdne at any rate "ass<,?ued" to him â€" an engine that he can almost call his own. Were he to know that his favorite engine would tventually bear his own name, surely he would take gn'eater pride thRti ever in work well done. richer.

O Why? The United States Congre:!sional party brought back many stories 'rom the fighting fronts in France. ".\t a camp for German prisoners behind the British lines," said a mem- ber of the party in Washington, "a detail was called out for some ditch digging. None of the British guards could speak German and none of the Germans seemed to be able to under- stand a word of English. "Under the circumstances it was difficult to give orders, and the "Tom- mies' had a terrible time showing the prisoners what they wanted done. For this reason they drove the dig- gers a little harder, perhaps, than the union rules allow. "Finally, one big German, bis face aglow with perspiration, dropped his shovel, straightened up painfully and said in a tone of genuine disgust: "•.\ch: Why in hâ€" ;did I ever leave Baltimore!'"
