Beilding Up Bee Colonies It is essential that every beekeeper '¢ \ should have all his colonies in the best condition, i.e., strong in bees of the right fling age at the commencement of the main flow in order that the largest possible crop may be harvested The firststep, then in building , up should be taken toward the end of the honey flow, about the last week in July or the first in August, when the beekeeper should see that each colony is headed by a vigorous young gucen so that plenty of young bees may be reared for the winter. Should no nectar be coming in, it might be neces sary to stimulate brood © rearing 'by feeding; especially is this necessary for nuclei. Later, he should contain an abundance of see that all colonies ; wholesome they may winter with as little loss 88 possible.

Unless lots of stores ate present in the spring colonies will build up slowly It will, therefore, be necessary early in the season to see that all have suffici- ent stores of haney. In most locati- ties there is ample pollen. Combs of honey should be placed, after breaking the capplings, one of each side of the brood nest. Should spring flowers fail it might 'be necessary to feed to prevent brood-rearing being curtailed. In localities where pollen is not abundant, combs containing it, should be saved and given in the spring. The problem of the beekeeper then, is to bring the medium colonies up to the strenght of the strong ones. This may be done by uniting weak colonies to them or by giving a comb of sealed brood with adhering bees. If desired, a weak colony may Te built up by placing it above colony with an excluder between them. No entrance is provided above. This is best done in the evening. First ve- move the cover and allow the cool air to cause the bees of the strong colony to recede. The weak colony is than gently placed above without the use of smoke. Three weeks later the upper colony, now quite strong, is reraoved tr a new stand. Water is required earty in the turing for brood rearing until new licney is coring in, and unless a naaral supply is - near the apiavy it should be furnished. : : That the quaen he not eyowded for TOO in whieh to lav, an extra super should be given when the bres are filling all the space between the frames in the brood chamber.

"Citizenship" was the theme of an address by Lady Baden-Powell during her recent visit to Toronto. - She said that although the view point of citizen- + ship differed greatly, hers were first {the mode of living; and second the 'mode of doing. That was where Lady Baden-Powell's hobby of girl guiding came into play.' | There is no reason at all, however, for applying this viewpoint solely to | girls and boys. ; It can and does apply 'to everybody, and from the standpoint (of health it is most important. The mode of living means much to every grown-up just as it does to every child, How often this mode or manner of living is at fault! In our daily lives we see ourselves doing the thing that us we should not do, and similarly we leave undone many things that from { to other and more-severe sy1nptoms 4s a health standpoint we should do.' People often bring ill-health to them or delay in putting matters right that need atten- tion.

Winnipeg :--"Never in the history of the west has grain moved more freely and "with, zoreater despatch, and also in greater quantities over Canadian Pacific lines than during "the past season," said Charles Mur- phy, general manager in charge of western lines. "Up to the present time," Mr. Murphy continued, "there hasn't been the slightest congestion on western lines." As an illustra-. tion of prompt movement the gen- eral manager said that fully 85 per cent. of the amount, loaded was. mo-ed east of Winnipeg daily. A Winnipeg :--Speaking of the re- cord crop movement in the Cana- dian west during the past season and the part the railways played in the marketing of-it, D. C. Cole- man, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific. Railway, addressing the Ki- wanis, Club luncheon here, declared Winnipeg was now the greatest wheat market in the world in the - point of receipts. He quoted figures showing that inspections for -the three 'months ending November at Chicago totalled 8,275,560 bushels, Minneapolis 45,969,100 bushels, - while inspections at Winnipeg for ~ the same period amounted to 108,- 231,513 bushels. Referring to the shipment of grain over the Canadian Pacific Railway frem September 1, Mr. Coleman - said an average of 1,016 cars were loaded each day in Winni- peg for transportation east which meant that a loaded train left here for the lakes every 45 minutes dur- ing the 91-day period.
