The farmer’s lot this season should he a happy one, getting, as be is, top prices for his produce and his commodities for the most part at rockbottom prices. At any rate, it is bis own fault if he does not secure the latter in' the purchasing of his requirements in wearing apparel, both for himself and his good wife, for he has the opportunity at all times to do so at A. Spence’s establishment. The great after-season sale which this firm is now running places not only every farmer, but also every individual in the community on the best possible footing for getting the best possible value for money in supplying their wants in drapery and clothing. At this great sale the reductions in prices on many lines such as trimmed millinery, ladies’ dust-coats, one-piece dresses, blouse robes and costumes, will, if possible, be more ’-a«tic than ever.

li'vefv farmer will find that a few Hee Hives will nrove a most beneficial investment. While only raising enough honey to keep his own home supplied, he can a + the same time gain that practical knowledge and experience which will enable him to launch out on more extensive operations, with a good prospect of success. The occupation possesses a peculiar fascination, and is almost a form of relaxation to many farmers and their families. Beginners should commence on a small scale, learn the ways of bees, how to handle them, and what kind of equipment to use. Make the bees pay for themselves and for additional appliances, as well as providing some profit, and allow the business to grow gradually, until it becomes a nuge money-making concern.—McMillan and Fredric, Specialists in Beekeepers’ Supplies.
