Several loads of medium to good steers, bulls and stockers were shipped from Toronto tu Buf- falo. Lcincasmr, and Jersey City. Advice from the United States is to the effect that choice weighty steers are scarce. Chicago was $3 25 higher on these durii the past ' week. At St. Paul, common Canad- ian steers were quoted from $7.25 to $7.75, common to good cows from $5 to $7 and medium to gcod $4.50 to $5 75, with sorts frcin $50 to $75.

Potato eyes saved carrier space and when taken from good seed proved a profitable expert- ment, a g-wult much appreciated in these days when good seed was both costly and difficult to obtain. 11-1 lat- er years. fdlcwing the expansion of tmnspoimtilon facilities, the intro- duction of oheaip postal rates. and the success of tihe eyes as seed, .he dealing in potato eyes became nich a general practice that regulations governing their sale have now been established. , All future sales are aflected by regulations which sate that all po- tatoes from which eys are cut must be from stock that has passed field and tuber inspections, according to the standards set by tthe Dominion Certified Seed Potato Service. The identity of the stock must be estab- lished to the satisfaction cif an in- spector. ‘Hie weight of 35 eye sets must not be below _one one pound when packed. (An ordinary vegetab- le boiler. the kitchen utensil used by housewives for shaping vegetables into ball; for decorative cookery, produces e e sets of uniform ‘J26 and atkrac ve appearance.) According to the regulations all potato eyes that are to be stored for any length o1 time shou'd be first kept for one week at 75 degrees F, then sored around 40 degrees F. un- til shipped. Certified seed potato eyes must be free from any damage caused by bacteria, fun , or insect pests readily recognizabe at tJ-meoif shipment and the stripper is reslY-‘n- sible for the removal of all M-IECNVE or diseased sets. The; regulations with 1egard to c011- tainers is that the eyes must be shipped in a waxed cardboard mrton or in a cardboard carton wrapped winih heavy waxed lrraft paper as n further precaution 68811151 dTYi-YIB out o; the eyes.

Wintering The Bees (Experimental Farms News) With the approach of winter the beekeeper is faced with the problem of how to prepare his bees for the winter so that they may survive the long cold months ahead. There are three main essentials for tho safe wintering of bees: (1) a large force of young bees, (2) a liberal supply of good food. (3) adequate protection from cold and change- able weather, failure to provide any one of these is to nullify the bene- fits oi' the others. slates the Dom- inion Apiarist. C. B. Gooderham. To secure a large force of young colony is: (l) headed with a pro- trees it is imperative that every colony is: (l) headed with a pro- llfic queen during the autumn months. (2) that the queens have sufficient room for maximum 911i! production and. (3) that the bees have an adequate food supply. As it is far better to find living col- onies with a surplus of food in the spring than it is to find them dead of starvation, the winter's food suopiv shoiiid be a liberal one. No colony should be put into winter quarters with lac than forty poimds Customs shall not permit the ex- portation Delis graded as follows:- ‘ k Canad ' I“; or graded Colors will be "Black" meaning all black free of silver hairs; “Da.rk" meaning less than 40 per cent. of the area of the back o: the lt ll covered with silver guard airs; “Half Silver" meaning 40 per cent. to 60 per cent. of the area of the back of the pelt is covered with sil- ver guard hairs; “Three-quarter Silver" meaning over 60 per cent. to 80 per cent. of the area of the back of the pelt guard hairs; "Silvery" meaning over 80 per cent. to 95 oer cent. of the area of the back of the pelt is cover- ed With silver guard hairs; “Full Silver" meaning 95 per cent. of the area 0f the back of the pelt is cover- ed with silver guard hairs. ‘I'm following shall be the scribed grades for Standard Smiwfl1§°d~ or Black Fox Pelts 1.

Any cxccss of forty lpounds is further insurance against 'starvation. The winters food should consist of either first qualify honey or syrup made by dissolving two parts of white granulated sugar in one part of water. If the latter is used it must be remembered that six pounds of sugar made into syr- lup only furnishes about five and one-half pounds of stored food. Protection is secured by placing the bees in cellars or outdoor pack- ing cases. If one has a good cel- lar by all means use it, if not. use packing cases. A good cellar is one that can be kept dark. well ven- tilated and at a uniform tempera- ture of not more than 45 dezrccs Fahrenheit throughout the winter. A good packing case is one large enough to allow the colonies to be surrounded with the necessary in- sulating material rind which will keep this material dry.
