NSuACsAs9hNkN IN meg OuAuWIGs
A new bee disease is spreading
through certain parts of Europe. It
is caused by parasite, a menace to
silk worms also, called Nosema apis.
AS many of our queen bees come from
the provinces now losing out heavily
in the bee trade by 1t, we could easily
get it transmitted with these bees to
this land. At first it was supposed to
be simply the same disease as that
causing what is called May dwind-
ling" Now it is known as something
decidedly more serious. because 1t is
incurable, and the death of bees taken
with it occurs In from four to Ave
days.
The disease shows up with diar-
rhea, because 1t is in the lower intes-
tines these parasites work. The para.
sites belong to the kingdom of the pro.
toazas and are of sporelfke formation.
II has the power to envelope itself
In shell and lie dormant until taken
up by the bee. It Is carried to the
intestine. to which it fastens itself
and multiplies rapidly, Before the
bee dies it has left these spores ON
everything 1t touched for other bees
to become infected. 1t seems to be
akin to the prot6aza, causing the
white diarrhea in chicks and other
fowls as well. q
The intestine Of healthy bee Is
semi-transparent and flesh colored, but
when infected with this Nosema apis
1t turns a milky color and is opaque.
This is one way of Identifying the
presence Of this particular parasite.
The abdomen is also badly swollen.

PRESERVES CREATED

Government Sets Aside Fifty-seven

A Newspaper Writer Says Statutes

sters Are Increasing.

As one Of the features of the ad-
ministration policy for the conserva-
tion of the natural resources of the
country, fifty-seven bird preserves have
been created by proclamation of the
President of the United States in order
to prevent all shooting of song and
plumage birds and to regulate the
shooting of game birds for the market.
The recent demands OF fashion for
plumage to decorate hats has caused
an unprecedented slaughter of birds,
a Washington correspondent says, but
that has been very largely checked by
the action of the federal government
and the cooperation of the several
States under the leadership OF the Au-
dubon societies. Each year brings a
clearer understanding among the peo-
pie Of the need for the protection of
birds, both from humane and econom-
ical reasons. The slaughter of wild
geese and other fowls which live upon
worms and insects has cost the farm.

ers In saskatchewan, Central
Canada.
Arriving In Canada in 1891, Just
eighteen years ago, 3. A. Guillemin,
could speak but his native language
He is Frenchman. He had but a
little over 81 in his pocket, thus be-
ing short over 81 of the $40 required
to secure entry for homestead of
160 acres. He eventually borrowed
the money, and, near Forget, Sas-
katchewan. he started life in Canada
on the homestead in which to-day he
is the fortunate possessor Of fifty quar-
ter sections of land. or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillemin did not acquire
all these acres as result altogether
of his farming operations, which were
extensive He looked with satisfac-
tion upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about IS per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
.ings would permit. until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some of which
he can sell at $25 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for SAY days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
OF which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at price varying from
"a to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels Of barley and 500
bushels of fax. He owns 104 horses
and number OF cattle, but since the
construction of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year he bought his first threshing
machine. paying for 1t the sum Of
$2,100. He estimates that the machine
earned for him this fall $4,000, thus
paying for itself in one season, and
leaving him 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
In this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No.
