Burrell, minister of agriculture, a timely bulletin on bee-keeping has been issued by the federal department of agriculture. According to a state- ment of the author, Dr. C, Gordon Hewitt, dominion entomologist, this work. has been prepared to meet a persistent demand for informa- tion by who wish to learn how to begin and to continue the in dustry of agriculture. It was the fur ther object 'of the author 'o increase { the number of bee-keepers. in Canada {by indicating the advantages of { keeping. It pointed «out that keeping returna the direct profit honey crop and the indirect one of improvement to yields of clover seed and fruit, It is observed that a bu! lock after beng fed and cared for during an entire winter will not real ize much more than the produce «! a colony of bees in a single Begimurers are recone rnched on a #&mall scale hives, increasing the number as experience is gained, This of forty-five pages, which is helpfull illustrated, covers, in plam language the whole field of agriculture, mclud mg equipment, management, the pro duction of honey and wax, diseases, legislatidh of the various provinces against bee diseases, ete.

The narrow, shallow, coarse steer with a. poor spring of rib, he declared, is a losing proposition for any man. He advised starting feed ing on the cheapest ration possible Rape in the fall, thén silage, roots, clover hay, straw and chaff, with but very little meal for a month Gradually decrease the roughage and increase meals of a heavier charac- ter, such as corn and cottonseed, as the finishing period arrives. To fin ish op grass it is advisable to win. ter as cheaply as possible with little grain. The steer should marketed about two years of Prof. Barton emphasized the import. ance @f clean, comfortable quarters for the cow coming into milk, as in sanitary conditions often cause ud- dor troubles. The cow should be fed carefully for the first ten days. He advised the following ration for a cow giving forty pounds of milk per day : Thirty pounds corn silage, fil- teen pounds roots, seven pounds meal mixed (two bran, two oats, one bar- ley, one cottonseed or gluten) and one and a half pounds of oil cake. This ration, he said, about twenty cents a day. In the summer the farmer should depend upon pas- ture afone for only two months. Then {green feed--oats or peas--should be |supplied. Corn and alfalfa are valu- able at the timé of short pasture. One acre of barren pasture under corn, he said, will feed twenty cows {for one month. o -- Big Returns From Swamp.

An experiment recéntly carried on in New South Wales proves, according to { the Standard of Empire, that ostriches ran be driven from place to place as successfully as sheep, cattle, or horses, 'I'ie experiment was made by T.- J Herbert, a local ostrich farmer, desired to transfer hs fine flock of | seventy ostriches from his fafm at] | Temora to an irrigation area he had! | sécured under the state at Yanco--a! | distance of eighty-five miles. The birds | 'had to be driven a cousiderable por | tion of the distance to be 'trucked by train for the remainder of the jour ney. 'The result of the experiment, | which was conducted by careful, ex- perienced drovers, showed that the os- triches proved easier to handle, if anything, than sheep, the method adopted being to push them from be- | hind, Many people imagine that an ostrick will kick if interfered with, and that consequently" it is dangerous get bebind one; but though. they - do i , they kick forward hke a cow. They can be pushed trom 'behind with perfect safety. 'The birds were | siderably alarmed at barking dogs en route, and horses were equally fright- ened of them, but there was no mis- hap. | whe | to Pe-- | Produce and Prices. ngston, June Market reports the prices prevailing as Hows © Potatoes, $2 a bag; beans, 1Uc, qt; | cabbage, $1.50 to $2 doz.; celery, 15c. { to We; omons, 5 a lb.; lettuce, Se, a bunch; radishe . bunch; rhubarb, | Bey gree: ons, bunch; spinach, | Be new carrots, 2 bunches it uew beets. 2 bunches ior 2he.; tomatoes, 2c. a lb; new | beans, 10r. a qt.; cucumbers, 10c. to | 20e | J.
