May number of Fortune informs that there are in the United States 250.01)11.01)11,000 honey bees, all of them diligently working themselves to death producing honey, two-thirds of which is consumed by the bees themselves, leaving about 170,000.OOOIbs for consumption by the public. Bees as well as honey are sold by the pound. A pound of bees costs $1.35 and in a season a pound of bees will produce about 35 pounds of honey, of which 12 pounds will be available for sale at little more than $1.25 tail so that breeding bees does not seem to be a get-rich-quick scheme. Chir locial milk dealer reminds us occasionally of the penalty attached to selling milk below the legal price. But the honey industry is not so well organized for the 800,000 bee-keepers in the United States apparently sell their product practically at even below cost. . iFrom ten to fifteen million pounds of honey a year are used by the baking industry, in the manufacture of cakes, cookies, crackers and rolls and honey-crushed wheat bread. Candy makers are big users of honey for honey tends to absorb moisture from the air and thus it keeps certain kinds of candy soft. But honey has a variety of other uses. It enters into the composition of jellies, butters and preserves. Pipes and leathers are cured with it and meat packers are experimenting with it in curing meats. Jewellers use honey to darken onyx. It adds flavour to cigarettes and chewing 1 bacco. More interesting to some w be the news that each year a carload of honey goes to add resilence to the centres of 1,500,00 golf balls. And beeswax which might be called a by-product of the honey business is used in cartoon paper, cosmetics, floor polish, phonograph records, dental wax. sail making, waterproofing, and candles. And the 5,000,000 pounds of beeswax is worth about $1,000,000. But while the United States and Canada might get along without honey, they could not get along without the honey bee. for the bee is the most effective insect pollinizer in the land. Sufficient bees turned loose in an orchard can doulble or treble the crop. In dollars and cents the value of the bee is worth twenty times its value as a producer of honey. In certain districts bee-keepers are accustomed to rent a colony of bees to orchardists. It is unfortunate that ■blossoms have to be sprayed with insecticides just wihen the bees are working on the blossoms. "The twenty-fourth of May Is the Queen's birthday. If you don't give us a holiday We'll all run away." The old Queen. Victoria, of respected memory, died just after the turn of the century; and her birthday, the ;wenty-fourth of May, has been celebrated as a holiday by all the coun-, tries of the Empire.

It comes when the (countryside is most beiautiful with reviving life and springtime growth The season gives the holiday its own character. The twenty-fourth of May is synonymous with picnics and outdoor recreation. Picnics form one oi the most delightful means of spend ing the holiday, and may be very simple or very elahorate. As a rule the simpler the picnic the more enjoyable it is. After all. the charm oi the picnic lies in breaking the ordinary routine of life and eating a meal where there are trees and grass instead of the usual dining-room furni hire and wall-paper. The holiday is the real opening-day for gardening. Some of the work may have been done before this date, but that work is merely preparatory. After the twenty-fourth the gardening season is declared open, and no excuse for not cutting the lawn is valid. Summer sports come into their own on Victoria Day. Golf and tennis are the absorbing interest of many the holiday, and it is a sad holiday for them- if it should rain--as it often does. the twenty-fourth of May is Canada's great holiday. France may have her fourteenth of July, an appropriate holiday for that nation with its effervescent insistence on liberty. United Staes may have its Thanksgiving Day when highly organized sport is prominent. England may have its Christmas holidays with their sound solid family pleasures. Canada has its twenty-fourth of May when the countryside is becoming green, (he air is becoming balmy, the sun- 'Alfred h. Toronto and Cobourg at Mr. E. Mrs. Leslie Ptjatt and daughters.
