I think it was Sir Andrew Kezth who once impressed on the British Association for the Advancement of Science, that "man must live dangerously," and with this dic- tum in mind. Bir Andrew (had he lived in those unsophisticated times) would surely have looked, w.th an approving eye, upon our school games.

GOODFORBUII

An interesting observation which may frequently be made is iibst mothers who have s very good understanding of the health needs

'it that these needs are met, foil to give reasonable attention to their own health requirements.

It is of course desirable that the children receive proper care. We appreciate that it is through such care that the foundation for adult health is laid. But whst ls the use in laying s. good foundation if the whole health structure is endan- gered by oarelessnem with the su- perstrllcture? What would today's mother think if her cihlld, for whom she so well provides. were, in later years, to loss the advanta- ges she has given him by careless- ly disregarding the simple rules of healthy living? Yet, this is exactly what. so many mothers are doing

THE “NOSE FLY "

Dr. Lionel Stevenson, one of Cs- nadals foremost parasite investiga- tors, speaking inCharlottetown in 1929, said that the Maritlmes were fortunate 1n not having such a number of species of parasites and insects affecting live stock as had the Prairie and Western Provinces. It is doubtful, however, whether we can maintain our "filflefldid 3°‘ latlon”. Within very recent times. probably in the last two ca- three years, one of these western, in- sects, the Nose Bot, has become acclimated here. That it has been under observation for a. 1on8 l1!“ is shown by the fact that Linnaeus named it Gastrophilus ‘ hoemorr- holdalis, a. large name for a mic/ll insect! It is indeed the smallest of the bot-flies but causes the most annoyance," says Professor S. Had- wen, in his "Insects affoclin! H" smclr." The fly strikes at the lips of the horse for the sole purpose of affixing its eggs to the hall-I thereon, and does not sting as many people suppose. 'I‘hc lips of the horse are very sensitive and the rough and " nwvfimelllfl of the fly as it lays hold of the hair in the act of depositing its egg, are what worries the horse.

There are two periods of the year when it is of the greatest importance that the colony should be headed by a. good prolific queen, namely au/t- umn and spring, in order that the colony may build up to good strength for the winter, and a.- gain for the main honey flow. It follows then that these two per- lod! are not the best times for re- queenizlg. Alt’ the Bee Division, Central Experimental Fann, Ot- tawa, the best time to requeen s colony is found to be late in July or early in August, for not only will the bees accept a new queen
