Thousands of valuable insect lives in St. Joseph county will he lost unless some action is taken bj" beekeepers, according to John S. Rordner, county agricultural agent. At tse present time the thousands of hives of bees in the countj' are at the mercy of the apiary keepers. Many colonies are djing. some are already, dead, the store are entirely exhausted. colonies are swarming out, from hick of food, and the honey crop is seriously threatened. The onlv remedj is to feed the bees. If combs of honey are left over from last year the same can be used. In the absence of hOney, E. G. Raldwm, Indiana field man in bee culture, advises the county agent to recommend syrup feeding. The syrup can bf made of two part sugar to one of water and fed im mediately, at the rate of 10 to 1"pounds to the colony. It is recommended that a sood way to feed the syrup is to punch a lozen holes in any friction top pail, such as second hand sjrup or honey pails, to fill the can with the syrup, anil invert directlj- on the top of the frames in an empty super or hive bodj'. The fate of the colonies will btf determined within the next two weeks.

SEVERAL PEERS Take Stand Against Governernment On lits Foreign Policy Toward China. Ry Associated Pre?s: TOKIO, April 17. (Correspondence) Several political groups in the house of peers have joined in an indictment of the government's goreitn policies, especially toward China. As summarized in the Jijl, the peers expressed the opinion that the race question is unimportant compared to the Chinese question, and that the real injury which Japan suffered "at Paris was the disclosure of Chinese antagonism. The peers expressed the view that true friendship between Japan and China should be cultivated. China should be helped in the laying of a foundation for a stable administration. They voiced the fe.tr that, Japan is fast losing her position in China and that America is replacing ja pa n. The Jijl summarized the peers' view of the Russian question as follows: "What about our policj' towards Siberia? America's plans are fast being carried out and as a result of America's success in Siberia it is possible that the peace of the orient will be destroyed. Rut ther-.' is no one- among the government authorities here w ho can clearly answer the question what shall be done with Siberia." As far as Korea is concerned the peers said that the government should establish a permanent policy of befriending the Koreans so as to give thm ease of mind and contentment.
