Precautionary Methods Diminish

Tendency of Bees to Drift in Spring

Hives that Have Been in Cellar or Dugout All Winter

Should be Set Out on Summer Stands in Un-

suitable Weather

C. B, Gooderham, Dominion Apiar-, ist, in discussing the case of drifting bees, says: 7

(Bees know their home by location only, but when they have been forc- ibly confined to their hives for long periods, location is forgotten and old landmarks. must be learned anew when the next flight is taken. Bees that have been wintered in cellars or dug-outs are, as a rule badly disor- ganized when taking their first flight in the spring, unless. special pre- cautions are taken to prevent an im- mediate flight when removing. them from their winter quarters. If weath- er conditions aie such that the bees may fly:freely when they are return- ed to their summer stands, they will rush. pell-mell from their hives with- | out “locating” themselves with the} result that many drift to other hives |

Why is the locomotive called she? A road foreman of locomotives em- ployed on the ‘Canadian National Sys- tem ‘believes he has the: answer. He says: “There are many reasons. For instance they wear jackets and. yokes,

. pins, shields and stays.: They have

aprons and laps too. Not only do they have shoes but they sport pumps and even hose while they drag trains , be- hind them. The also attract attention with puffs and mufflers and some- times they foam:and refuse to. work. At such times they need to be switch- ed. They need guiding and require a

-man to feed them. They all smoke but

most characteristic of all is that they are much steadier when they are

Jhooked up.”

when the flight is over. Drifting usu- ally causés the strong colonies to be- come stronger and the weak ‘colonies weaker. To prevent drifting, indoor wintered. colonies should be removed from their winter quarters ‘when the weather is unsuitable for an immed- iate flight, or late in the. evening after all: flight for the day is over, this ‘will reduce the excitement and enable the bees to become acquainted with. their new location gradually. Placing colonies too closely together encourages drifting, especially if the hives are all uniform in appearance, the entrances all facing in one ‘di- rection and there are no. guiding marks for the bees to follow. The col- onies shouldbe at: least six feet apart and even then some drifting may oc-

The cases are ‘best removed and the colonies spread apart when the bees are confined to their hives because of bad weather. Drifting is a spring problem, for once the colonies become established, little or no drifting occurs. If drifting ‘can be prevented returning the colonies to their summer stands, later work of equalization will be avoided.

Alfalfa is a long- lived perennial crop not suited to short rotations but especially adapted for permanent hay and pasture fields. The value of a good permanent hay field is well recognized.

. Head Colds

A cold is a nuisance. From personal experience we all know what dis- comfort it causes; and so we are all. anxious, to avoid a. repetition of the experience, vena

Head colds are more than a nu- sance; they ‘are serious for certain reasons. They are the cause) of: absence -from >= school, cconsequently, more thamany other form of illness, they are fe- sponsible for lost time, which implies ‘lost Wages and lack of progress ‘at. school;

What appears to be an ordinary cold in the head may be the begin- ning of some serious illness, such as pneumonia. Just because so many colds do not lead to any more serious condition, we are apt to think that they are’ of but little importance. However, bécause we have been for:

tunate inthe past is no reason for us ~

to count on escaping serious results in the future. ;

It is a good and sensible idea to do our best to escape colds. The first step in the prevention of colds is the maintainence of, health. We sohuld eat the right kinds of food and-sleep with our bedroom windows sufficient- ly open to keep the room cool and the. air in general motion. Adults require about eight hours sleep, and children need more sleep than.adults.

The body is to be kept clean by regular bathing; the bath finished with cold water and followed by a brisk rub with a towel. A regular bowel movement is to be secured each day through regular toilet habit, proper food, and. exercise. It is necessary to exercise the big muscles of the body in winter just as ‘much as summer. :

The feet must be ké}pedry; if 'the shoes and stockngs are Wet, they should be changed for dry ones after the feet have been given a good rub with a rough towel. We should dress according to the thermometer. not the

| season of the year. Too much cloth-

ing causes ‘perspiration which may lead to chilling, and should therefore be avoided. Outdoor clothing should not be worn indoors. This is a bad habit of many women, causing them to perspire and later to be chilled when they go out of doors.

People who have colds should be avoided because colds are spread from one person to another. The hands are to be washed before meals and before food is touched because they become soiled, are apt to have picked up the germs of disease and so should not touch food which goes into the, mouth,

A person who suffers from repeated head colds should have his nose and throut: examined. Abnormal conditions in.the nose and throat may be re- sponsible for the recurrence of colds and should be corrected,

The common head cold is a menace .

because of the discomfort which it causes and the serious results which it may lead.

It may surprise you to hear it, but I believe our greatést need is more re- ligion. I know. there are many reli-

| gions, but I refer to the one which

teaches a child to say at its mother’s knee or elsewhere: “Make me a good child.” The’ parents of the child were taught the same thing, whether they were children in a cottage or hut,.in savage camp or palace. It is the one thing we all know, all agree off; the importance of being good : children, good men and good women.-—Howe’s Magazine.

Ontario Leads All Other Provinces In Both Lines

The pack of fruits in Canada in-

creased substantially in 1932, but

there was a marked decline ‘in the

pack of vegetables. Imports of both

both advanced. Ontario led other provinces in the supply of both can- ned fruit and canned vegetables. Quebec is the only other province for which separate information is pub- lished, and this indicates that canning activity in Quebee is devoted much more largely to vegetables than to} fruits.

The output of canned fruits of’ all kinds in the Dominion in 1932 was 1,272,334 cases, compared with 784,- 833 cases in 1931. Of .canned veget- ables and soups the output last year was 5,411,562 cases, against 7,248,381 cases in 1931. It is estimated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, from a study of the returns received, that the figures given include over 95 per cent, of the total production of can- ned fruits and vegetables in Canada.

in 1932-33, as compared with the pre- vious year, the monthly review of the wheat situation, issued by the department of trade and commerce, says. Scarcity of wheat in Russia and partial_failure of the Danube crop are given as grounds for this prediction.

CHAPTER VIII. °

A Deadly Trap _ ‘Blob-Ice’ . Jensen was glaring around him at the other five faces in the tent.

“Some of you lubbers,” he growled,

“ain’t got the sense you was borned . with. You gimme a pain with your whining and growling ‘and always wanting to argy about what I tell

you. Now I’m gonna explain just what’s ahead of us and what we gotta do.”

The six men were as motley a crew as ever the whaling fleets of Bering’s sea and the Western Arctic could muster up. With one exception the six of them were deck hands—wharf wolves of gutter speech and alley

‘Sure it’s a h—lish long hard trot, you runty bilge rat! Dont I know it? But I'd rather tramp. ten thousand miles than do them twenty slow short steps from a hoosegow to a scaffol’ !” The others all nodded emphatically, fearful of Jensen's scorching anger. They were sitting there on a hundred and fifty thousand dollars which he had got for them. They owed their very lives to his quick thinking aboard the ‘steamer, when he had pulled their trick out of the fire. And they were leaning on him now to save them from the Mounted and get them out to the oblivion of a big city.

He went on explaining the escape. “Now, hére, all of you—look't here.” He smoothed a place on: the mud floor; and as the others leaned for- ward to watch, he drew & rude map with his long thumb nail. ‘We'll fol- low the Inconnu east a ways and then

‘;head south for Manitoby. We’ll spend

the rest of this summer and. fall working down into timber country. Then we'll find ~some good hiding place and build’ a couple of shacks and lay in meat, and we'll wait there till the break-up. Next spring we'll east.on down and out to Winnipeg, and there we'll be .with better’n a hundred and fifty thousand in hides

His own personal and private plans after they did get out to Winnipeg, Jensen did not see fit to disclose. He knew a party there in the Queen City of the Wheat Plains who would buy the furs at two-thirds of their auc- tion value and say ‘“nudding.” The dust, being unstamped, could be sold anywhere. He himself, both business manager and leader of this cruise, would naturally attend to those busi- ness matters. Once with the money in his pocket, would he split six ways with these lubbers? Or would be take a train and fade out of their lives and have that hundred and fifty thousand for. his own sweet own? You bet your life he would!

vices; strange men to be camped in the heart of a wilderness that even the Indians seldom penetrated.

There was John Siebielski, a

square-faced squat Alaskan, a de-.

scendant of the Cossack Promysh- leniki (fur-hunters) who for genera- tions, when Russia ruled the north- western shores of America, had: held brutal sway over the Aleuts and Ka- losh in their lust for peltry.

There was Pete Gonzales, a Sand- wich islander, brown-skinned, his white teeth flashing, his dress gaudy and picturesque.

There was “Lunnon Dick,” a wiry stunted limey, with Battersea accent and quick jerky ways.

‘There was “Chink” Woolley, a quarter-Chinese, an olive-faced, silent nondescript, with his right arm in sling from Bill Hardsock's bullet.

The fifth was a _Dogrib meti named Andre, a thin small weasel-like man of fifty. He had just returned from a scouting trip down the Big. Alooska.

The six of them were talking, ‘or | listening rather to Jensen talk, of fin- al plans to escape. Echoing the identi- cal line of reasoning which Alan Baker had sketch in Haskell’s cabin. ‘Jensen went on: “Some' of you wanta go back to the River and git outside | thataway. H—l's fire—you’d mebbe} git ten miles afore the: Yeller-stripes ‘ud grab you off. Some of you wanta go north to the Arctic coast. Whaffor? No ships to git away on, and the Yeller-stripes’ve got patrols there to boot. You say, ‘Head south.’ Yeah— and run into the nest of p’lice posts down there around Athabascy. We can’t go south ner west ner north, but we kin go east—”

Lunnon Dick spoke up:

“Clear hover t’ ‘’Udson Bay Manitoba? Two’ thousand miles haway? That's a bloody long ‘ard trot. Slob-Hice.””

The Others All Nodded Emphatically

With his plans clear and the men completely under his sway, Jensen |leaned back against a. paqueton of furs and sat, smoking, thinking.

He guessed that for once the police They must be pounding their heads to explain who he and his men were, where they had come from, how they had got into this country, unknown, unSeen; and how they, complete strangers, knew | the ins and outs of this northern wil- | derness as well as the police them- ‘selves. He thought of them as a pack of hounds circling frantically to pick up a scent. It was pleasing to know he had out-manoeuvred them from start to finish. A man who could beat the Yellow-stripes would have no | trouble at all dodging the provincial | police and town ccos.

But this reflection was only on the surface of his thoughts. He was thinking of the MacMillan trading |post, Breed Andre had~ said _ that Dave MacMillan was not there. Jen- sen shrewdly guessed where the tra- der was. From the MacMillan girl be- ing alone at the post, except for that white-whiskered old coot, Jensen ‘guessed Dave MacMillan had got into trouble over that pack of otter furs in the storage shed.

Through the tobacco haze Jensen 4ooked back across six-yedrs and saw again all the details of a certain in- cident between himself and Joyce MacMillan. He had re-lived that inci- dent a thousand times since it hap-

~.| pened. The memory of it, the mem-

ory of that laughing-eyed girl, had come down across the years like the

' | scent of.fresh violets. Two weeks ago

when his party passed the MacMillan trading post, the place had seemed deserted; and drawn. by some over- powering impulse to see her, to ‘be near her again, he had flung caution and hot haste to the winds, and stop- ped, and gone 'shore.- The picture of that MacMillan girl asleep, an arm under her head, a great-spurréd vio- let in her hair—that flesh-and-blood reincarnation of her former memory had been a madness in his blood ever

It would be ridiculously easy, he imagined to knock the old coot on the head and take the defenseless girl. They. would land above the sta- tion and creep upon it through the bush. Two of his men would go in peacefully, as though to. trade; and

watch their chance to seize her. His |

party could. swoop, strike, and have the whole thing over in ten minutes.

’For a few days after Alan Baker | bought out of the service and left Fort Endurance, Inspector Haskell enjoyed more peace and security than jhe had felt in many months. But after the first satisfaction wore away, it gradually occurred to Haskell that maybe he ought to make some move | to capture those six bandits. To let them escape without raising a hand against them would look bad, very | bad, to Superintendent Williamson on his coming visit to the post.

Thinking over his situation, he re- membered how Baker had demanded to lead a patrol tothe Inconnu River and lie in wait there. Baker had said they would try to escape by that route. He knew what he was talking about. Haskell realized he knew.

Shotild he send a detail to the In- connu?

The more Haskell pondered idea, the more it appealed to him. It

was reasonably sure to succeed, It

would be the positive action he need- , ed. On his wall map he hunted for the |

| Inconnu. He found a small channel of the Mackenzie by that name, but

chance visit by the Prince to this |; depot, which is on his: estate, the scarf in question probably would have- remained undistinguished from the rest of the garments.

Seeing the scarf on the pile, how- ever, the Prince startled his compan- ions by casually remarking: “That is one I knitted.” At once the scarf was separated from the pile. The news spread quickly and high offers were made for it.

This is not the first knitted by the Prince. When a needlework guild in which Queen Mary takes a personal jinterest held its annual exhibition some time ago, three scarves made by the Prince and three made by his younger brother, Prince George, two of each knitted and the other one crocheted were among the articles displayed. .

The Prince of Wales, having some |red wool left over, scored over his | brother by adding a pair of mittens to the exhibition.

The Prince, one hears at York House, finds’ that an occasional half |/hour devoted to knitting or crochet- ing supplies much-needed mental re- the | /axation. By the occupation of his hands in this way he can take his mind off State business for a little while. But usually every minute of his twenty-four-hour day is mapped out to the second. The Prince was taught to knit by the Queen—whose favorite

FOR ANY PAIN

Anyone can take Aspirin, for doctors have declared these tablets perfectly safe.

And there is no quicker * form of relief for any pain.

It is well to remember these

things when anyone tries to

' persuade you to try anything in place of these tablets. —

Aspirin may be taken as often as there is any need of its comfort: to stop a headache, throw off a cold, drive away the pains from neuralgia, neuri-

tis, rheumatism, Tumbago, etc.

Whenever you take Aspirin you know you are going to get immediate results and you know there will be no ill effects. You know what you are taking.

Why take chances 9n some form of relief which may rot be as swift—may not be as safe? The new reduced price ‘on bottles of 100 tablets has removed the last reason for ever experimenting with any substitute for Aspirin!

gentinian and s Asutvatiane farmers are preparing for the sowing of their crops for next harvest. In both coun- tries the wheat. raised is winter wheat, but summer here is winter down there. There is little indication of acreage reduction in either country.

It will not be long before seeding starts in the great western spring wheat belt of Canada and in the spring ‘wheat area of the United States. There will not be much re- duction of acreage in the United States—about 2 \per cent., according to the “intentions to plant” report, but this is possibly due to an antici- » pated lange winter kill and re-seeding where possible with spring wheat.

It is hard-to say just what West- ern Canadian wheat farmers will do in the way of decreasing whéat acre- age this spring. An agricultural au- thority in Alberta informs the writer that there will possibly be an 8 per cent. reduction in the wheat area in’ this province where 8,200,000 ucres were sown ‘ast year. But a:great deal depends. on spring weather con- ditions. A favorable spring will in- crease the acreage. There seems to be a considerable movement to the farms, too, as at many points in the province applications to rent land have been vastly greater than the eer:
