A total of 134 wins went to Ontario growers, in- cluding the reserve grand cham, pionship and the championship in intermediate varieties to Joseph Gattie, of Waltord, in the Sudoury District. Champioth in early varieties went to D. acKay and Son. Goldwater, Simcoe County; reserve championship in interme- diate varieties to Gabriel Maurice, Penetang, and reserve champion- snip in late varieties to Milton Weatherilt and Son, Bethany, Dur- ham County.

Supers should be stacked in d dry place to avoid molds and the piles covered to avoid the inroads of mice. It each super is stacked carefully one above the other, and the pile protected at the bottom, there is little likelihood of mice finding or gnawing a hole large enough to gain entrance, and rid- dling the combs and building their nests within the supers. However, it is both necessary and a wise pro- caution to spread poison where su- per} aro kept. -. " Another waste ocCuN yearly in the loss of many thousands of combs due to the work of the wax moth. Especially in periods of warm weather. the larvae of the wax moth will begin their work of destruction in stored super combs. These larvae tunnel deeply into [ac combs, and leave a mass of webs in the supers which often make it impossible to tear one comb away from the other. The best fumigant for the control of wax mpth is paragjchlorobgnzene, a white crystalline substance which dissolves slowly in air. This gas is heavier than the air and is non-poisonous. Another fumigant is carbon disulphide. which in the commercial form is a more or less yellowish and somewhat oily li- quid. Its vapour is heavier than air, but is highly tnfummahU and shouldnoth-d-rnmetfosr kind. Apply this chemical out of doors or in a well ventilated or open shed.

No piece ot equipment can be kept in good condition if permitted to remain out of doors during all kinds ot weather. Such a building need not be elaborate but it should be tight end dry. FARM MACHINERY Care and attention given to farm machinery will prove profitable. Though new machinery is easier tc get than during the war years, many items are still scarce. In View of this and the present high prices for new machinery, it is necessary that the greatest number of useful working hours and the highest degree of efficiency should be obtained from each piece of equipment. says B.

Rowena is reported to have of- fered her father's guest-Prince Vortigror--a bowl of wine with the salutation "Lord King, siass-'uacl" literally.
