"BOBS" VISITED THE CAMP
Veteran General Deeply Touched by
Canada'R Response to Call
Lord Roberts, accompanied by
General Alderson and General Sate
Hughes, motored to Raiisbury Camp
ell Saturday morning and reviewed
tate Canadian troops. Although show-
ing signs of his age, the veteran Field
Marshal, who is now in his 83rd year,
Paid a brief visit to each of the four
catnips, which are several miles apart.
no motored past the lined -up troops
ik each camp, exhibiting the greatest
interest in the men and all the ar-
rangements. •
In the course of a speech Lord
Roberts said:
"The
prompt
p pt resolve of Canada to
give us suck valuable assistance has
touched us deeply, That resolve has
been quickened into action in what
I consider a marvelously short period
et time under the excellent organiz-
Ing and driving power of your Minis-
ter of Militia, my friend, Major-
General Hughes, In less than three
months from the declaration of war
I am able to greet this fine body of
soldiers on English soil,"
The fact that the Canadian ex-
peditionary force is now under Eng-
lish command and will be aceQrded
all the traditional rights and liberties
of the. Old Country- Tommy was made
clear by General Alderson's promise
to the troops to abolish the dry can-
teen regulation which was in operation
at Valcartier. Addressing the troops
after review at Bustard and West
Down Camps, Gen, Alderson stated
that certain difficulties had been over-
come, with the result that within a
few days the usual British, canteens
would be opened in the various camps,
Several Sergeants' messes already
have become "wet"
A large number of the meat have
been given three or four days' ,leave
of absence to enable them to visit
friends and relatives.
The members of the force ' have
received more evidence of English hos-
pitality. when 61 residents in private
house's at Salisbury offered the daily
use of their baths for the troops.
This is one facility arranged by a local
bookseller, Mr. Smee, who has or-
ganized a committee to look after the
welfare of the Canadians while they
are in camp,
The difficulty experienced by• men
in cashing their Canadian notes has
been speedily surmounted, thanks to
intervention of the Canadian offfce
and Colonel Ward of the record and
pay department. Colonel Ward took
down to Salisbury fifty thousand
pounds in hard cash, more than a third
of which was paid out within . a few
hours.
Rain has fallen in torrents . during
the past few days and the camp roads
are a sea of mudbut the troops ac-
cept the vagaries of the weather with
good humor. •

Great .Battles Followed By Rain.
Ir is one of the extraordinary thing'
of warfare that a big battle invariably
pre times torrents of rain, History
contains innumerable instances, both
on land and sea, and on more than one
emcasiori the storm or showers that
followed an engagement had no small
influence upon the life of natione.
We can hardly have a bettor ex-
ample than that recorded in • 1588,
when'.England was threatened by the
great Soanieh Armada, After its en-
counter with ow own fleet it w'ts, as
weal! know, struck by a heavy storm
which completed the work of our own
gallant seamen,
The soldiers who fought so bravely
under the leadership of Marlborough at
Bice helm in the year 1704had ,to suffer
the misery of successive downpours
after their brilliant victory.
Marlborough wag anxious to follow
uy his victory without delay, but his
men were so worn by the fatigue of
the battle' and the discomforts caused
by heavy rains and the contingencies
of warfare that he was unable to push
on for several days.
Oo June 10, 1814, the British de-
feated the French at Quatre Bras, and
N',poleon woreed the wily Blucher at
Lighey, both within measurable dis-
rance of Waterloo. The heavy rains
which followed these engagements
made the clayey soil 'almost impos-
sible for cavalry manoeuvers at Wat-
erloo (fought on. June 18) and so crip-
pled the tactics of Napoleon and great-
ly assisted those of the Duke of Wel-
lington. The victory would have been
gained in any case, but experts are of
theopinion that the rain was .-an ally
of some value.
During the early weeks of the siege
of Sebastopol, in 1851, the roar of
cannon and explosion of bombs was
followed, day by day, by heavy down-
pours .of 'rain, until, as we read, opr
men stood in the trenches knee-deep
in mud. A terribl' gale broke over
the Black Sea and caused great dis-
aster to our transports, and on the
heels of tbis tempest ,came a heavy,
steady downfall of rain that brought
death to hundreds of our gallant fel-
lows. ,
In yet another instance the heavy
eannoneading of .a aiege brought in its
train a disturbance of the elements
This was justprior to the fall of
Plevna in 1877, when the moisture of
the clouds was turned to snow as it
fell, and by increasing the sufferings
of the besieged,' helped to make Oji-
man come to the determination to try
at last chance for freedom.
The explanation of the rain is com-
paratively simple, and has been made
use of -far the benefit of agriculture in
various parts of the world. The at-
mosphere is laden with moisture, a
concussion caused by loud reports or
noises will often burst the clouds with
the natural result that the drops of
water fall to the earth. This has been
practically tested when farmers have
beengroaning over the drought, and
scientists have induced the desired
rainfall by causing cannon to be dis-
charged at altitudes varying with the
locality, When, however, the dis-
charge is contiuuons, as in battle, it is
obviously niore,elisctive

If your bait is losing its natural
cater, coming out and splitting, or
lacks that enviable softness, gloss and
beauty, do not despair—pretty hair is
largely a matter of care. If it is too
thin make it grow. If it is harsh and
brittle soften it up—lubricate it. If
you have dandruff in is because the
scalp is toe dry and flakes off. Fresh

Parisian Sage, sold by J. W. McKib-

Apart from the additional power ne-
oesaary for operation, the depreciation
on unllioused machinery on the average
sized farm is so great as to amount to
much more than the cost and upkeep
of an implement abed, The binder
works for only a short time during
the year, while machinery in a sbop.
works the whole year through and
lasts proportionately many time;+
longer. It is simply a matter of care.
The life of a machine extends in direct
ratio to the care it receives, and abuse
and neglect will ehorten the life of
any mechanism, The manufacturer
is not responsible for the care of the
machinery afterit is sold. This rests
entirely with the farmer, and as a
common-sense business - proposition
- he should look after his own interests
dsufficiently to house his implements
and thus save the thousands of dollars
wasted annually in unnecessary de-

Care And Abuse Of Farm
Machinery
Recent investigations by the Con
servation Commissiog reveal some
very interesting facts regarding the
effect of care, or neglect, as the case
may be, upon the life of machinery on
the farm. Between 00 and 95 farms,
divided into three districts, were
visited in each of the provinces of
Manitoba, S.eskatchewan and Alberta
In Saskatchewan, out of 91 farmers
visited by the Commission's repro.
sentative. 76 leave all their implements
nut of doors. Oa 73 of the farms,
there were no implement sheds of any
description. On 21 of the farms, shed*
large eriough to cover a part of the
implements were found, in most cases
this being only a buggy or demoerat,
but not on one single farm was the
,iiaebinery all housed. Not one farm•
was found who painted his implements
to protect them from the weether.
In Manitoba only 14 out of 91 keep
their machinery under cover duiir
winter, while 44 claim to keep a par
of it inside, On 3.1 of the Manitoba
farces no pt•ovi-ion whatever is tuad,
for protecting implemento, and only
four claim to have done any painting
In the three districts visited in A'-
berta. mixed farming -is carried on
quite extensively, making more barn
room available, so that implements
are more likely to be protected, but
even here, 37 out of the 92 visited leave
all machinery out of doors.
In one district in Ontario where 40
farmers were visited, every man
housed his inipiements during winter
although none of these men do any
painting.
In the Ontario distict visited where
the implements are housed, the aver-
age life of the hinder was found to be
between 16 and 17 years. Many bind-
ers were seen which were in good run-
ning order after cutting 20 seasons'

English Visitor Finds Northern Brit-
ish Columbia a Land of Promise
Mr. W. J. Spears, of London, Eng-
land, whose knowledge of Western
Canada dates back to 1880, made a
_ tour over the Geapd Trunk Pacfiic
Railway between 'Winnipeg and Prince
Rupert with a view of obtaining for
those interested in England the latest
data on the natural resources of the
territory opened up by the new trans-
continental railway in British Colum-
bia.
"In their scenic beauty alone," said
Mr. Spears, "these regions have a
wonderful asset. The , valleys ,ere
wide, allowing the full maj6i3ty of the
peaks to bo realized, In these val-
leys are areas of gently sloping land
of a • soil admirably suited for agri-
culture. In their richness they re-
minded me of the Valley of the Nile.
Dairying and mixed farming have a
bright future there.
"Berries of all kinds grow wild in
the greatest profusion and the flowers
are similar in their beauty to those
found in Switzerland. There is ample
lumber to assure the success of the
saw mills which are rapidly making
their appearance at various points.
Mineral wealth is also being develop-
ed, while the rivers teem with fish.
gThe trout in Northern British Colum-
bia, is of_ a. quality, texture, size and
fighting nature i ma a flim akl'ng
among fish. While fishing on the
Nechako River I came upon .a party
of Indians. They had just landed
four giant sturgeon. The Iargest of
these was nine feet long and weighed
300 pounds. Canada has no reason
to go to Russia for its caviar when
such sturgeon as these can be caught"
crops.
In Saskatchewan and Manitoba and
where so much of the machinery is
left out of doors, the average life of
the binder is given by' the fa,rmere
