Page Eight HOW BEES SPEND THE WINTER (Experimental Farm Note) Honey bees do not hibernate in the true sense of word for they move about avithin the hive and are contin- ually" taking food during the winter months. As the winter approaches and the temperature within the hive "hovers between 69 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit, "the bees remain' quietly . on their'cofnbs but as soon as it drops to 67 degrees or lower the bees gather together into one compact , cluster, The bees in the centre of this cluster produce - heat by muscular activity while those on the outside act as an insulating ring. The temperature of the cluster is maintained at approxi- mately 57 degrees throughout the winter, The colder the hive the harder must the bees work to keep up the necessary temperature, but as work shortens a bees life and be- cause it is necessary that they live through the long winter and well into the following spring, it is imperative that the beekeeper have his colonies strong in young bees when winter arrives and that suticient protection is provided to maintain the proper temperature of the hive with the least expenditure of energy. on the part of the bees. It has already been said that the bees take food continu- ally, but as it may prove disastrous to feed during the cold weather, suf- ficient food to carry them safely through the winter should be given] before they form their winter cluster. During the winter months the cluster of bees changes position in order to keep in contact with the food supply. Healthy bees discharge their waste material only when in flight, but during the winter when flight is often impossible for several weeks at 'a time, this waste material collects within the bees, and unless the food consists of high grade honey or sugar syrup, a bad attack of dysentry re- sulting in the loss of the colonies may follow. Should the weather during winter turn warm enough to raise the temperature of the hive to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit the cluster of bees will expand and if the outside temperature be high enough a flight will take place. For the best wintering, however, a steady low temperature which c¢auses-the bees to remain at rest for the greater part of the winter is desirable.

They have suc- ceeded in accomplishing = all they undertook to do but owe Mr, H. B, 'McKercher $40.00 for shingling the roof, $9.75 for insurance and $3.00 to the secretary for license. In addition taxes, If the hall is to remain 'open the committee have been managing the hall about $450.00 has been paid out, the chief items of which are as follows:- bursements up to over $450.00, The Commuinty can rest assured that every cent of receipts has been accounted for and good value has been received for all disbursements, It is about two years since Mr. McKercher shingled the roof and it is high time he was paid. Surely there is enough public spirit in the Community to wipe off the present debt.

(Mail & Empire) Ottawa, Oct. ®9--Canada cannot at- tain a sound prosperity until the tarmers' purchasing power is restored by higher prices, Hon, H, H, Stevens, Minister ot 1'rade and compete, de- clared yesterday, 1 Just® back from a tour ot the prairies, Mr. Stevens asserted that this want of purchasing power or, to put it more "bluntly, a lack both of money and credit, was seen 'through- out the agricultural communities of the west. "In northern Srrkate howl: " he said, "there is food enough that they were able, while I was there, to send a hundred carloads of it td the south- ern part, where this year the land did not produce sufficient to support the farmers, And right here, let me say that that gift and the spirit in Which those north Saskatchewan people made. it is typical of the attitude of the west. Their spirit during these hard days is an inspiration to us all. "But to return to the question of purchasing power. - They have food enough and shelter. But they cannot buy other things, You see working farmers with patched clothes and shoes. Why? Because : they have not the money to buy anything. They must live on what they themselves produce on the land. "It is this inability of the farmer to buy th that is clogging our-industries. When those engaged on a whole in- dustry--an industry as big as agri- culture: in Canada--have no money to buy with, then the factories and others who sell to the farmer cannot continue." Mr. Stevens indicated that it wa this point: which underlay his warn- ing at Winnipeg last week. Speaking there, he said that if the packers did not voluntarily pay the farmers more for beef and other products; and if the financial concerns didnot similar- ly cut interest rates and grant the farmers loan extensions, then the state would. be obliged, willingly or otherwise, to step in and force the doing of these things, The produc- tion of beef and certain other com- modities bought by the packers was no more than the country consunied. ~- relevant, Consequently, the packing companies could and must raise the price paid the farmer, he said. Mr. Stevens reiterated that he was -even on the side of individual enter- prise. "But", he adedd, "if individual enterprise does not take action: and to a public- pressure it cannot with- stand, must eventually step in" --<o-or MILK BY-LAW PASSED Orangeville, Oct. 19.--The milk problem, a matter before the town council for somé years, has finally been settled.

If you .do that, I will run the ad free, just to prove folks do read advertisements," In spite of the warning of the editor that it would cost money the merchant accepted the challenge. The ad contained so many words thdt it had to be set in type even smaller than that of the regular read- ing' matter, but, buried away down in it was this 'offer, "To every. one who brings in this ad we will give a one dollar bill." That was all that was said about the dollar, The newspaper had not been out an hour before the store was full of peo- ple waving copies of the ad. The ex- periment cost that 'merchant' nearly $5600, but it proved to him, as nothing else ever had, that subscribers to the local weekly read it from end to end and everything in it.--California Publisher. °% MYRTLE Sorry to report that Mrs, Parrinder, who has been living with her son Archie.
