3 hjl raising turkeys is one thinjr mar keting them profitably is quite an other the marketing problem despite the fact it is usually looked upon as one of simplicity itself is a problem of no little importance for here rests the harvest much or little for the seasons toil turkeys whether sold for breeders at a fancy price or sold to the mer chant for thanksgiving or christmas trade should have some special care alone about the first of october in either instance they should be kept on range as long as possible for health hut given very different care other wise turkeys of good breeding that is purebred stock are always in good demand for breeders keep such turkeys on range as long as possible and feed very little fattening food a diet of wheat com and millet is good given very sparingly to avoid an over- fat conditions unless such grains are of first class quality thoroughly ma tured and free of sap and mild it is better to toast them in an oven to a light brown before feeding fat it is well to remember is an objectionable feature in breeding turkeys turkeys for the thanksgiving and christmas trade should be fat yet pro ducing this fat condition and saving the turkeys is not an easy matter for it is well to remember no fat turkey is long a healthy one to produce a fat turkey therefore and at the same time a healthy turkey one must bring about this fat condition by degrees and not abruptly exercise is essential for health therefore such turkeys should be kept on range as long as possible and given fattening foods such as corn for a period of two or more months gradu ally increasing the amount till turkeys show prospects of getting fat by mar keting time feeding of bees two of the essentials for good win tering of bees are young bees and ample stores to secure the first young bees a natural fall flow or an artificial flow produced by feeding is required to stimulate brood produc tion if ample stores are lacking they must be provided by feeding the feed supplied may be either a honey or a sugar syrup and in making the latter none but the test of white granulated sugar should be used for stimulative feeding a light syrup of approximately one part honey or sugar to one part water is best this syrup may be given to the bees in various ways but the one most generally used is the honey pail meth od which consists in inverting a 5 or 10pound honey pail of syrup over the frames the cover of which- pail lias 3 or 1 holes in it pierced by a fine nail colonies wintered in cellar should weigh 60 to g5 pounds without hive cover and those wintered outside 70 to 75 pounds any deficiencies should be made up by feeding one pound sugar for every pound lacking in stores the syrup given in this case should consist of 2 parts sugar to one part water or 5 parts honey to one part water and should be fed from 10- pound honey pails as above described ach pail having 40 to 50 small nail holes in the cover fee may be given either hot or cold when fed hot however there is a greater danger of granulation but the syrup is more readily taken down by the bees feeding should be done about the first of october as rapidly as possible and in the evening to avoid dis turbance canadian wheat and flour the remarkable development of the demand for flour in the far eastern markets and its satisfaction by the shipment of canadian wheat and flour through vancouver constitutes in the view of the london times a grave dan ger to the british food supply in an editorial the times notes that where as in 192223 there were exported through vancouver alone 770000 bushels of wheat to china and 2610- 000 bushels to japan in the following year exports to china had increased to 5201000 bushels and to japan to 705s000 bushels during the same period exports of flour had increased from 90000 barrels to 202000 barrels to hong kong and from 270000 bar rels to 504000 barrels to china re viewing the population figures thn times continues it is clear that there is nothing in herently improbable in a further ra pid increase of the demand for wheat and flour in the chinese market in the near future and it is equally clear that such a demand must be met from a surplus production for which tneso islands compete the development of modern milling in shanghai and other ports in china in recent year j has ben amaziug and it costs less to i bring wheat to shnnghal ncross the pacific than from the northwestern i province of china this year the idle ness of the grain crop in western can ada will probably result i the exporta tion of a larger portiou through van- couver than- through montreal by water it would not be right to de clare the situation is alarming but no one who looks to the future rather than at the immediate precent can fall to recognize that if tbla country is compelled to continue to import four- tlftlis of its wheat requirements it in dancing round the world on the empress ot france the voyagers will have thefrowii crack
