rutlcdge locality and arrangement of the apjarv canterbury bells without an abundance of nectar secreting flower a crop of honoy cannpt bo expected therefore tho flrnt consideration in selecting a location for an apiary is the flora as bees gather nectar from a distance of two or three miles from the apiary it la necessary that the location flhould contain a plentiful supply of nectar secreting flowers within this rouse a good location is ono that will provide a continued supply of nectar and pol len from early spring until fall ani with at least one source from which the main- crop of honey will be gather ed most locations in the city or tho country will provide enough nectar to make a few colonies profitable but where it is intended to establish a large and permanent apiary the ques tion of flow must receive careful con sideration other points to bear jn mind when choosing a location are other apiaries accessibility ore and flood an apiary should be easy to reach by team or truck so that supplies can bo transferred back and forth with little difficulty locations that are already occupied should be avoided overstocking a location cuts downthe crop apiaries should notfbe less than 1 four miles apart unless ther location is on exceptional one places that are likely to be devasted by fire or flood should also be avoided tho site chosen for tho apiary must be well sheltered from high winds especially the cold winds in the spring which usually come from the north or west if the bees are to be wlnterei outside good windbreaks are of ut most importance it is also necessary to have the hives partly shaded during tho hotest part of the day in summer this can be accomplished by plant ing a few evergreen treeborshruha in the yard or taking advantage of natural shade the bees should not be placed near a public highway nor where children are likely topjay near tho hives the arrangement of tho hives is t matter for individual taste but neat noss and arrangement are secondary to convonieuce in handling the hive may be arranged in pairs or singly in rows but in any arrangement thev must not be crowded together or heavy drifting from one colony to another will take place there should be at loost three feet between the hives and six feet between rows so that each colony may be handled wuhrease and that necessary supplies may be moved to and from any part of the apiary with hand barrow or truck if the site is in erosa- this should be kept closely cut during the summer so as not to choke tho hive entrances c b good- erharn dominion apiarist in grandmas pleasant garden they blossomed long ago with sleepy scarlet popples and lilies white as snow the canterbury bells that seemed like flowers in gardens i hud dreamed their musky fragrance tempted the bees in droning herds into their deep cells darted the jeweled humming birds drooping and halfasleep they sung hut always in my ear they sung of far and lonely countries across the wide blue sea of bells in lpfty turrets that spilled sweet melody in gardens by somo river gay where quaint par bed folks keep holi day j of stately cities lying neath fair cathedral towers that on the blue sky blossomed like pinnacles of flowers of stately swans that seemed to float to music on a castle moat r but now that grandmas garden is lost in mists of years their blooms as blue and dewy i pluck today in tears but holding them against my ear chimes sweeter than of old i hear with the same spell they take mo to a country arranger yet more beautiful and fairy untouched by regret for with their fine faint melody they sing my childhood back to mo reason for calling the doctor heres a little story i intended work ing into my series on the acton doc tors but i overlooked it in some way but it will answer this week all right mr harold begblo quotes in the happy irish an amusing story that he got from tho doctor of a lit tie town hovislted intho course of histour of ireland i was rung up pretty late one night by a peasant from an outlying village fifteen miles away it was in tho days before i had a car tho wind was blowing horribly and tho rain was sweeping against the house and it was deadly cold tho peasant askod me rather shamefacedly if i would com 4ind seo his mother i invited him to come in patrick i said to him your mother is a very old woman i know that doctor he admitted shes over eighty patrick shes all that doctor and nothing that i could do to night would be the smallest use to bcr sure doctor said he 1 know very well its the truth you ore telling me but mo poor mother do you see would have me come and fetch you because she does not want to die a natural death guilty by proxy those who wish to find fault can always and a way says an aid adage grandma flake was the censor of the neighborhood in which she lived to carp and criticise is not dlfflpult since every one has some weak point and bfrandma had her hands or rather her mouth full all the time she found special fault with young girls who were perverse enough to dress and behave differently from the fashions of fifty years ago and ono girl stella dorsey was grandmas pet aversion ono day the censor saw or thought she saw stella drive past the house in a buggy with u gentleman carryln on rfawful i declare to goodness said grand ma it was scandalous talkin an laughln an scrcechin like all possess ed ive a mind to tell her mother j i wouldnt grandma said her granddaughter smilingly its my dooty persisted the old hidy l f no it isnt especially since it wasnt stella land sokes i know no you dont it wad dr barnes and his wife stella went to montreal yesterday morning on a long visit for a moment tho old lady was silenced but she quickly recovered and said firmly well thats the way stella would have carried on if she ad been there the hollyhock as a peren- nial in many plant books the hollyhock is classified as biennial that would mean that they bloom one year only and have to be resown yearly x have found that by proper treatment the hollyhock can be kept on for many years just as soonos the flowers are passing the stock and all foliage should bo cut down to the ground so that nothing is visible of the plant above the ground this may seem to one who loves his flowers as harsh treatment particularly if tho stalk pf hollyhock has ono or two flowers left on il no thlnjf is more untidy thai stalk of hollyhock covered with seed pods nearly to the top such a plant resembles a bean pole with a colored rag at the end by allowing these conditions to exist the hollyhock is made biennial if however it is cut down as suggested now plants will come front the old root instetad of having one stalk next year there will be from four to six to enjoy this cutting down process does npt stop with the first operation but must j to continued aa the new growth of eaves attain a fafrlygood sice thoy should be removed individually al ways allowing the centro and the heart leaves to remain this process of keeping the foliage off has a tendency to develop a harder root which can withstand the severity of the winter furthermore hollyhocks improve with age coming true in color year after year popular consulting doctors i spent a month or more in telling you about the twentyono or twenty- two doctors weve had in acton in the last seventyflve years it would hardly bo fair not to add a few para graphs referring to the doctors so often called in for consultation the past fifty or sixty years dr clarke of guelph was perhaps tho first or one of tho first doctors brought to acton by local doctors for consultation in critical cases he was a skilful physician and enjoyed a wide reputation then later there was dr herod dr herod won somo note as a surgeon and between forty and fifty years ago was colled to acton in somo cxtremo cases i remember thathcl cam to acton to consult with dr lowry when edward moore the father of the editor of the fbxb press was so suddenly token ill i think that was in 1879 or 1880 his- attention was hpwpver un availing and death ended mr moores sufferings at the early ago of fortyflvo years and this reminds me that c s smith the husband of tho elect lady of falrview place who still survives died also at the early ago of fifty and robert little a personal friend of both also died fthen ho was fifty prvkeaungwasapopular c here for some time and then dr henry howjtt came into great favor and for years was often seen in acton his son is now quite frequently called here but no doctor from outside was ever so popular in acton and t tho neighbor hood as dr petor stuart ho wo brought hero occasionally whon ho was in milton but during tho twenty years and more ho has been in guelph his calls to acton have been multinous- there has been very aovoro regret hero tfiat thodr himself has been seriously indisposed for several months and has not yet resumed his practice dr atkins and dr cotton and dr n a powell of toronto have occas ionally been called from toronto and dr pattullo of brampton dr wob- flter of norval dr freeman pf georgetown dr mcnaughton of erin dr currte of rockwood and dr winn of nasoagawoyn all had their favorites here in extreme cases i think this ends my- reminiscences of he doctors practicing and consult ing in actons history for two days- new flower and ribbon tri hats at 395 flowers are the
