This car was shipped under the auspices of the Conway Strawberry Growers Union.

In a number of instances, farmers seem t() have gained the idea from the agent that they would be able to secure loans within a relatively short time, and express disappointment on realizing that they must wait for an indefinite period for the promised loan and go on making payments just the same on the stock which they have agreed to take.

The population of the eolony is reduced ('mini, (he winter, especially where winter ii jc conditions uv r u the best, and] this ma o br (oi reete l if the colony is to get the full honey ere)). It is poor hoc-keeping to have; w* nk colonics at i the beginning ?f the honey flow fror.il which the- surplus crop is obtained. After brood rearing gets under w?.yj bees, i end three things: Room for heavy brood ?r< e.rj .</. #> abundance of! . stores, and protection. A common error is to cramp the colony by failing to provide empty cells for the reception of egys. Kadi colony should ultimately have the equivalent of at | least eight Kangstroth frames ent irely I full of brood, so that even a single-10 fram hive is scarcely large enough at this season. Some beekeepers practice giving a second hive body durhig this period of heavy breeding. This i;- ; especially nccessury for colonies that' have abundant stores. If in early spring the weatlu r i* sirtable and if nectar is available, the bees will add considerably 10 their 'v.utrds of ho:v\v, but they use it S" rapidly that it is seldom chat re v ga'i . in the stores occurs even during fruit bloom. However, since the weather is j uncertain at this season, the boe'tteep : ei should not depend too much on in-| coming nectar to supply the ner.'s h.!.v bees. If they are short of tores j feed a war in thick sirup made of | granulated sugar an I feed lavishly. This will be stored hv the bees m the hvood combs and used as needed. The j sirup may be half water and hall''j sugar, or thicker if preferred. There i is no better investment in beekeepingi than to give abundant supplies in the spring. Bees generate considerable heat in rearing brood rapidly, for th^ temperature of brood must be maintained] nearly at human blood heat. The bet-! ter they are protected from winds and the more insulation they have, the easier it is for them to keep the proper temperature and the faster they! 1 uild up. On some warm dav the hives should! he opened and given a spring housecleaning. At this time one wing of; the queen should be clipped so that; when swarming time comes she can j not fly to the woods with the swarm. If any queenless colonies are discover-" ed (having no brood) they should be united with colonies having queens. This can be done simply by setting nilOOlilncc: cnlnnn /-,?? v viviijV \/II II/}/, The stimulation to heavy brood rearing should occupy six to eight weeks previous to the surplus honey flow, and every beekeeper should know when that conies in his locality.

SOME FACTS ABOUT GOOSE RAISING Profitable in Small Numbers and in Suitable Locations For It. The Toulouse and Embden are the most popular breeds of geese in this country. The Toulouse is the largest breed, the adult gander and goose weighing 25 and 20 pounds, respective ly, while the standard weights of the Embden are 20 and 18 pounds. Geese can be raised in small numbers successfully and at a profit on many farms where there is low, rough pasture land containing a natural supply of water. The market for geese is not so general as for chickens, but the demand and prices are especially good in sections where goose fattening- is conducted. Management. Geese need only a house during cold or stormy weather, when an open sh 1 should be provided.
