JAMES WNoFADYEHN REAL ESTATE 'who would make the most use of his "time and labour in the apiary next 'season, will do well to make all the preparations possible before the act- (ive season commences, and the long 'winter months offer an excellent opp- ortunity to put everything in readiness for the crop of 1923. The beekeeper should have enough supplies on hand to take care of a maximum crop next year. For every colony of bees put away for the win- ter he should allow enough super room for surplus to equal at least 3 full depth Langstroth supers. He should allow one hive complete for every colony increase he intends to make. In localities where the main honey flow comes late in the season and increase can be made early enough so as to build up new colonies in time for the main flow, the same number of supers will be required for the new as for the old colonies. Where the increase is made during or after the main flow, no supers will be required unless a good fall flow is expected. All the suplies on hand should be gone over carefully, cleaned and re- paired where necessary. Any new supplies that may be required should be ordered early to ensure early de- livery. As drawn combs are the most val- vable asset the beekeeper has, he storing combs is to place them in sup- ers and to pile up to supers with a queen excluder beneath and above the pile, this will exclude mice. To destroy larvee of the wax moth store the combs in an out-building exposed to the cold, 11 deg. F. will kill the larvae.

The trip was arranged by Joe Page, baseball writer and sport enthusiast, who is a special representative of the C.P.R. He met the majority the writers in New York and se companied them to Montreal, Que- bec and as far as this city. The visitors were met at the sta- tion by G.

Mr. Hodge denied most emphatie- ally the correctness of the state- ment. He said further that as far as the C.P.R. was concerned it had no knowledge of the report until it was received at the company's of- fices on September 4, and that in- structions to restore' rates of pay which had previously been put inte effect as from July 16, were issued under date of September 5, making the reduced rates effective as from August 186. Moose Jaw--*"One hundred per cent more grain has been handled by the Canadian Pacific Railway up te {the middle of October this yesr, | Foc. ever before for the same pe- ' iod. That will give you an idea of the way the grain is being taken out of the country," said Mr. Chas. Murphy, general manager of West- ern Lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He expressed himself very well pleased with the movement of the crop throughout the whole West. When asked as to the possibility of a grain blockade, Mr. Murphy stated that the Canadian Pacific was ac- cepting ail grain that was being of- fered. He pointed out that on one day over four million bushels had been taken out of Fort William and Port Arthur. Mr. Murphy pointed out that there was difficulty in get- ting bottoms on the lakes to take the grain out, but the elevators wend far from being full, and the Cana- dian Pacific still had the big Trans- cona elevator empty. Already Mr. Murphy stated there was a large quantity of grain being shipped out from the head of the lakes by the all rail route. He de- clared that he could see no grain blockade in sight. Mr. Murphy pointed out that the Canadian Pacific had moved 14,000 cars off the Saskatchewan division of the railway. This was five thou- sand more cars of Saskatchewan wheat than had been moved in the same period in any year. He also pointed out that even with the unprecedented grain move- ment the Canadian Pacific was mov- ing from 250 to 275 carloads peg day from the Western coal mines. "There was thirteen thousand tons moved yesterday," he declared. I was here three weeks or a month age and at that time I stated we were moving 250 to 275 cars of coal a day, and the movement has been kept at that ever since. We realize, he declared, that the wheat can ba moved during the cold weather and people can live, but if the cold weather coraes and there is no coal there will be great suffering in the country, and possibly worse, + Come in and talk over our easy Budget Terms today.
