These two items are the basis of the war emergency poultry program for 1918. _-The carrying out of that program is an important part of the war against bal‘ba.ric domination. - 'I‘w,o causes combine to bring tile necessity for a special effort to secure the raising of more poultry this year. One is that tile war needs of the lla- tion make larger average stocks of productl-ve poultry important. The other is that the number of fowln .ln farms has, i’rolll a multiplicity of causes. been reduced during the past ye? succession of sharp advances in prices of poultry feeds in 1917 and uncertainties in supplies of feeds, he- cause of congested transportation, caused many poultry keepers to cur- tail production or reduce stocks on hand. As was inevitable under the circulllstancea, the sections of the east where poultry keeping was most highly specialised were most affect ed. Shortage of .feed in drought stricken areas also led to reduction of poultry stocks on general farms in those areas Elsewhere flocks appear to have been nlalntained at about norm-.ll numbers,'and in some places slight- ly increased. Reports of heavy sl-ll ing in sections where feed is sufil cient have in many qa es failed to take intoaccount the isposition of the stock sold. lt has usually been assumed that all stock sold went to slaughter. Some, reports. however, state that many hens and pullets sold bl’ poultry keepers who were short of feed or of capital passed to others Who were in ll position to hold them The volume of receipts of eggs at certain markets seems to bear out this statement New Brulusw lck Harvest.

In very cold districts or during an extra hard or long winter, the bees will winter better lu a well in- sulated aud dry cellar than outside. Another important cause of loss was unwhoiesome or insumcient stores. Honeydew, fruit juice, nlo- lasses and syrup made from low grade sugar, will kill the bees before spring. The most reliable stores for winter are well-rlpened clover honey, buckwheat honey, and syrup made from refined sugar. Some honeys gathered in the fall are unwhole- some. Be sure that the stores are well ripened and capped over before cold weather. and that each colony 'has about 30 pounds. The remaining causes of loss were weak colonies, queenlessness, too high ll proportion of old bees to young bees due to old or drone- breeding queens, and the depreda- tions of mice. ‘ `Wealr colonies should be united and the hives packed in the winter- ing cases about the middle of Sep- tember, and any feeding that is found to be necessary should be completed before the end of Septem- ber except in Southern Ontario, when a week longer is allowable.
