In selecting seed corn the ear

.slFT BEES TO FIND QUEEN
Only Preparation Necessary 10 to Fix
Up Wood Frame Excluder, With
Thin Wood Strip.

Among all the methods proposed for
finding the queen, there is none more
nearly certain than Sitting" The
method Of doing it is about as simple
and easy as can be. Fix up a wood
frame zinc queen-excluder, with a thin
three-inch wood strip, to be attached
under one long side Of the frame so as
to close that much of the perforations,
measuring from the outside of the
frame. This is the only extra prepa-
ration necessary, writes B. Keep, in
the G1eanings in Bee Culture. Now
lift the hive body containing the
colony to be sifted) on its bottom
board, and set an empty body in its
place. Lay the prepared excluder on
this empty body. having the edge of
the three-inch strip against the out
side Of the body. This leaves an open
space along the opposite side wide
enough to pass a brood-frame through
easily. Set the hive body containing
the brood-frames and bees upon the
excluder exactly. Remove the outside
frame from each side, shaking and
brushing the bees back upon the re-
naming frames. Set one of these
frames aside, and put the other into

Finds in Favor Of castlewood.

Brookings--Ther report filed by T.
J. Law of Brookings. as referee, gives
the county seat to Hamlin county to
Castlewood. This is the elimination
of a long fight for county seat honors
between Hayti and Castlewood. Cas-
tlewOod is the present county seat. In
1910 the supporters of Hayti succeed
ed in having the question submitted
to the voters. At the election in No
vember, Hayti received 1883 votes.
The total vote cast was 1886. The
law requires that in a county seat re-
mOval election, in order to win. the
contrasting town must receive two
thirds of the vote cast. Two-thirds
of 1886 is 1887 1-3. and the canvass
ing board held that Hayti had won by
the narrow margin of one and two
thirds votes. Castlewood disputed the
findings of the board, holding that
many votes intended to be cast for
Castlewood were enormously counted
for Hayti, and the matter was taken
to the courts. Referee Law has just
rendered his decision. finding in favor
of the Castlewood contention. The
trial of the case in the court was
long drawn out. over 24G witnesses be-
ing examined, and the trial lasted
nearly a month. The referee had
over 100 pages of typewriter testi-
mony to consider before arriving at
his decision. The decision means the
county seat will remain at Castle
wood, at least until Hayti gets an
other try at it.

THE BAROMETER OF THE POST.
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several Of Western Canada news.
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following,
speaking Of the Christmas work in
the postoffice:
Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of op-
portunity of learning what it was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed Tin
Winnipeg), and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx Of people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postofices have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds of new postoff1ces were
Established, many of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. It is said of
the Canadian government that in it's
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether it be in the new town along
a new line Of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
flee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is it any wonder that
with the splendid land. the high
yielding land, the land that is free to
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1912
will show arrivals of upwards OF
100000. one-half of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and it's agencies
throughout the United States deals
with MANY of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work OF
that branch for the year 1913.-Ad

FEW EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDS
Results of Tests Made at the Canada
Experimental Farms With Diff
ferent Animals.

At the Canada experimental farms
in a horse feeding test it was found
that corn and bran to 2. or barley
and bran 5 to 2, could be substituted
for oats and bran in the same pro-
portions. although both the corn and
barley were less palatable than the
oat ration.
Three lots of lambs were fed basal
ration of "nutted oil CAKE" bran,
oats and hay. With turnips as sup
Elementary feed, the gain per head
and day was .244 pound, at cost OF
10 cents per poand; with ensilage as
a supplementary feed the correspond
ing gain was PA pound, at cost OF
9 cents per pound; with both turnips
and ensilage the gain was .21 pound
per head and day, at cost OF 1913
cents.
In swine feeding tests the cost per
pound of gain on a ration of shorts,
ground oats, feed -four, bran. roots and
skim milk was less than on ration OF
corn and barley. Pork production was
cheaper when wintering swine In the
open than when confined in pens. The
open lots, however, were provided
with cabins for sleeping.
