M British Success. If we think of the Transvaal war with regard to its final outcome we cannot be in any doubt. There can to only one ending to it, for England’s military resources make Boer triumph a physical impossibility. The past week has given evidence of the readiness Wlth which British forces can win against the burghers when caution is exercised and the sort of troops used that the occasion de- mands. Gen. French, who gets the credit for victory at Elandslaagte which was perhaps the most decisive of the campaign has this week scored anorher victory at Colesbura. The general gives more attention to scout- ing and manoeuvres than some of his fellow officers have done and has better success accordingly. It may be hoped that his example will be imitated with good results Adding to the Colesburg victory the defeat of the Boers at Sunnyside when our Toronto boys fought, we have two successes for the new year. Though as the London News says this is the day of small mercies yet it may be that with the new year and new tactics these mercies may assume encouraging pro- portions at an early date. £33; News from Colenso leads to the opinion that Buller may again attack the Boers.

Too Much Drona. Comb. llccs left to themselves are likely to bull-d too'much drone comb, says The Farmers' Voice. This is not. built for the purpose by the bees, as they build it, for storing honey in, but if not filled the Queen will fill it next spring with drone eggs and the hive 'will be over-stocked with the. idlers. The way to prevent this is to use all foundation comb work- or size and then the queen will fill it with worker eggs, and the colony' will be built. up when hatching be- gins in the spring. If there is too much drone comb in the hive remove it. and replace with Worker comb. By doing this the supply of drones is easily regulated by the apiaris'ti, and the bees become more profitable than they would be if lcft’to their own devices. \â€" Estilnntlng Grain in lilu. It is often convenient to know the number of bushels of grain in bins, says The Practical Farmer.
