The cages on their arrival should be set in a. cool, shaâ€" dy place and thin honey or sugar syrup brushed or sprayed on the screening. The bees will soon beâ€" come quiet and may be transferred to their hives immediately if the weather is dull; or, if warm and bright, postpone the transfer until late afternoon or evening, thus reâ€" ducing the danger from drifting.

The new colonies should be fed liberally until they are well estabâ€" lished and are able to secure enough for their needs from the spring flowers. Where all foundaâ€" tion is used, more food will be reâ€" quired as the bees need sugar for the manufacture of wax.

FROM THE ONTARIO DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE A large scale demonstration of a new method of warble fly control, the first of its kind in the Province of Ontario, has been started this week in Goderich Township, Huron County, under the {gint sponsorâ€" ship of the Huron Federation of Agriculture and the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, it is announced by R. H. Graham, of the Live Stock Branch. This demonstration is beâ€" ing undertaken with power spray equipment, and the cattle will be sprayed in their stalls in the barns, this being an entirely new method of treatment for warble fly. This project is being assisted by the council of Goderich Township, which is meeting half of the exâ€" pense involved, while the other half is being borne by the Ontario Live Stock Branch. The township was selected for the demonstration because of its natural water bounâ€" daries, with the lake on one side and the river on two sides. The _ This demonstration has been orâ€" ganized to prove to the farmers that the power spray method of apâ€" plication of warble fly control is practical and from it the Live Stock Branch hopes to be able to tell accurately what the costs are, and what measure of control of inâ€" farmers bear no direct expense, and have signed up to take part in the project to such an extent that it is expected that every animal in the township, about 9,000 cattle in all, will be sprayed during the three months of the demonstration. They will be sprayed three times, in March, April and May, and a careful check will be kept of the costs and results. there are no signs of fright in the cattle when the power equipment is being used. Last week the whole herd of George Rodanz, of Stouffâ€" ville, including his $51,000 herd sire, was sprayed with the equipâ€" ment to be used in the Goderich demonstration. The power spray method of treatment has been tried successâ€" fully in Alberta, and recently some tests were made on farms in the Toronto area.
