Agricultural School last month that fheir most finportant, work les in giving short courses of instruction to farmers, "Farmers, it is said," must find tho eolution to their problems theme selves," Mr. 'Dewan said, "If that is the case--and I think it is-- they must be trained to find these solutions. That is why 1 am such "an advocate of agricultural train. ing, of which short courses are so important." Short: Courses Help Greatly The minister promised the Yepro- sentatives all possible co-operation from his department in the con- duct of short cougses in autumn and winter. "I think we owe it to these young peoplo to provide training as close to their "omes as possible," he said. Only the efficient farmer can suc- ceed when the margin of profit ig farming i3 as small as it is today, Mr. Dewan declared. Showman Faces Many Problems The showman's problems are many and varied. It 'is often difficult and in many cases impos- sible to show an animal to-its best ach animal is a sep. adyantage. arate problem in itself, which makes the work complicated, but niore interesting, The time to think about showing is before the. calf is born, or even before mat- ing takes place. The proper mat- Sing of animals is not only the first step in showing, but it is the Lasis on which is built the whole cattle-breeding industry. While this is primarily the problem of the breeder, yet it is nevertheless of importance "to the showman, in that it gives him the material to work with, Modern ireules "f ju-t haa to lift that ear recause the! father and three children were "in it," was tne simple explanation _ given by Dan Smith," ABOVE, 46- . year- -old Kilbride, Ontario, farmer, . after he-rad lifted, single-handed a wrecked auiomobile to an up- right position after it had turned over, imprisoning four people, all injured, after a highway crash in< volving the car occupied by the trapped Jou: and Smith's truck.

Doing a bit of delving in the attic of his Detroit home, Charles H. Haight, 80-year-old native -of New- market, Ont.,, has come 'up with of his Detroit home, Chas. H, Haig sonie trophies ot the World's Cols umblan Exposition of 1893, in Chic- ago, and one was an advertisement for the "Canadian Mite", a mam- "moth 11-ton cheese that was one of the features of the Canadiann ex- hibit at the exposition: - The folder explains that the "Canadian Mite" was manufactured 'at the - Dominion Experimental Dairy Stafion at, Perth, Lanark County, Ont., under the supervision of Prof. James W. Robertson, Do- minion dairy commissioner, and farmed a part of a pyramid of Can- adian dairy products.

What's Going On | Inside The Hive Buckeeper Can Find Out By Weighing "Hives Daily To See How Fast the Honey Is ComingIn ~~ Beckeepers have a unique meth ol of keeping tay on the Activities of their bees, according to a report from the Dominion Experimental Farms. Because it is-so essential to know how the honey flow is coming | into the hives, one hive in an ap- jary is placed on a set" of scales. Thus it is possible to take daily welghings 'and so tell just much honey is coming in. Further- more, it is possible to know aceur- ately the amount of. loss of honey 'in the hives, partcularly in the Spring, when the flow of nectar is light. Then tho beekeeper can tell whether or not he should feed his colonles. During the main honey flow, the - scales aro most valuable, for then the bee-keeper can estimate fairly accuralely just what is going on in- sido the eolonies. Thus, he knows when proper attention should be gi- ven. ! Modern .
