ARCTIC EXPLORER
 LOSES HIS VESSEL.
Stefansson Unable to Locate 1t on Re
 turn from Hunting Trip.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. S.-Somewhere within the confines of the Arctic circle drifts VilhjaInar Stefansson's staunch little vessel the Karluk, safely frozen in an ice pack. But the leader of the expedition is not with his vessel, and Is unaware of its whereabouts, accord ing to a depatch received from the ex- plorer himself today by George J. Des- barats, deputy minister of naval af- fairs and acting minister of marine and fisheries.
 Stefansson's message states that be- lieving the Karlulz safe on the ice In longitude west 147, 15 miles offshore he took a party ashore with him to hunt. The next day heavy gales sprang up and then fog When the weather cleared the Karluk was not in sight, and had undoubtedly been carried away by the wind which drove the ice pack off shore.
 So far the search for the Karluk has been unsuccessful, but as there is a. crew of 9 men on board and plenty of provisions, no anxiety is fgA TOT it's welfare.
 The message received today was dated October 30, from Point Barrow, Alaska, and was sent overland from there to Circle. where it was despatch ed on Dec. 5.

DOUBLE YOUR EGG CROP.
Use Of the Trap Nest May Do the
Trick-Right Mating Necessary.

In Farm and Fireside Il contributor
says that poultry raiscrS can practi-
cally double their egg production if they
persStently use the trap nest Follow
ing is an extract from his article
For the benefit Of those who are not
acquainted with the trap nest ! Will
explain in detail its purpose. The trap
nest is q nest so contrived that when
the hen enters she springs IL trap
which closes the door and holds her
captive until she is released by the
attendant. The nest is of sufficient
size to allow the hen plenty OF space
to move around in or she would be
apt TO break the egg.
''By taking the hens of highest trap
nest record and mating them with
males descended from heavy layers
you will lay the foundation OF good
strain of heavy layers. BY careful
trap nest culing and with the same
care In breeding year after year, you
will build your flock up to a high state
Of efficiency.
at Is not ut all uncommon for toCkS
that are trap nested to average $50
eggs per hen per year. At the same
time these flocks not infrcquently con
tain individuals that have Il record Of
300 to go eggs each per year.
1.-THE latest figures at hand from the
department of agriculture declare that
the average farm hen lays less than
eighty eggs per year. Sixty eggs per
hen per year would probably be over
estimating the average uncarcd for
farm hen. At any rate, the great differ
ence between 200 to go eggs and sixty
or eighty eggs is enough to think about
seriously"

WITH THE HONEY MAKERS.

BY no means store comb honey In
the cellar, rs it is sure to sweat and
become moldy. Better put it in the
attic, rs the heat can I'm nowise harm
ii, provided, of course, that it isn't hot
enough to melt it.
The best and most profitable way for
the average beekeeper to dispose Of
unfinished sections Is to extract all
that will not sell as second grade for
as much as extracted honey will bring
and use them for bait sections next
year.
In preparing the hives for the late
flow proceed in precisely the same
manner as for the early flow, using the
same supers as formerly, only. Of
course, putting in new section boxes
with foundation for comb honey to
take the places Of the completed Sec
tions taken from them.
The extracted honey when stored in
cans or barrels can be placed in GEL
lars or other convenient repositories
and unless bottled early will in all
probability granulate as soon as the
nights become cold, but this granula-
tion In no sense hurts 1t. and the heat
Ing required to liQuefy it for bottling
IN a large measure prevents further
granulation.-FarmJ Journal.
