mr carroll said the executives of the plowing match had conferred with dominion and provincial agricultural heads before reaching their decision it as believed that plans for wartime farm production were being prepared t both ottawa and queens park and officials of the ontario plowmens as sociation were prepared to offer every facility to government agricultural departments m presenting such plans to a representative crosssection of farm peope of ontario and other parts of cstflta during the great war the plowing match was considered of too great im portance to be discontinued and only the influenxa epidemic of 1918 caused the cancellation ot tfpfj match in that year at this tune a a quarter of a ce ago the offtcersof the on tario the officers of the ontario plow mens association consider it necessary nd a patriotic obligation that the plowing match be held several branches of the dominion government win have exhibits and give demonstrations and will thus have an opportunity of showing what is re quired from farmers under wartime emergency- conditions it is anticipa ted many department and branch beads will be on hand with important speeches and official statements

honey there being more ways tbuse extrac ted honey oot the cost of producing extracted hooey is lest once an apiary is estabuafaed as the combs can be used year after year whereas in oomb hooey

kept separate and properly graded honey should not be taken from t hives until tt is thoroughly ripe ittntil at least twothirds of each comb is capped ovent otherwise ttw honey wfll be high in water content and may ferment particularly if kept for any length of time in a heated fan honey is seldom ripened in the hives sufficiently therefore it is diffi cult to keep it from fermenting by heating it to 160 degrees fahrenheit the yeasts that cause fermentation win i be destroyed tbe honey however should be cooled immediately to pre- vent darkening of colour and to pre serve flavor the room in which honey is stored should be kept as near 50 degrees fahrenheit as possible to avoia toss through fermentation at the time of extracting the combs are removed one by one given a shake in front of the hive to dislodge as many bees as possible and the remain ing bees brushed off with a bee brush this method can be adopted- by book keepers who have only a few hives but in large apiaries bee escape boards or carbolic add are used to free the honey supers of bees where bee escape boards are to be used they should be placed on tbe hives fortyeight hours before the honey is to be taken off the escape board is placed under tbe lowest super that is to be removed clearing the supers of bees by the carbolic method is practised by some but has not met with general favour it is the experience of some operators that where too strong a solution is us ed the honey is tainted also serious burning of the hands occurred where operators were careless in handling the crystal or solution care must be taken to prevent rob bing at the time supers are removed leaving no combs of honey exposed to the bees tbe supers should be taken to a beetight honey bouse as soon as possible after removal and the honey extracted preferably while it is warm if the honey house is artificially war med all the supers are taken off the hives and piled in the honey house and the hooey extracted as soon after as possible to facilitate tbe uncapping of the honey the uncapping knife should be kept hot for this purpose a steamheated knife or uncapplng- plane is used to prevent breaking the combs in the extractor it should be turned slow ly until half the honey is removed from one side of the combs reverse the combs and speeding up the mach ine remove all the honey from that side again reverse tbe combs and ex tract the remaining honey where rad ial extractors are used the reversing of combs is not neoesasry to clarify the honey strain it through wire screening and two thick nesses of doth the farmer wul re

on the top this should be removed the removal of section honey is quite different than for honey which is to be extracted in that any super of sec tions completely capped over should be removed before they become travd stained this is done by placing a bee escape board fitted with twoway bee escapes under the super fortyeight hours before it is removed it is a good practice when only a few colonies
