A man or a horse worksjust as he feels. If wi
sweat and labor in heavy underwear, sleep and
eat in these same clothes, we soon go off our feed,
toil indiffermtly and do not produce results.
\):The horse with its heavy winter coat of hair
feels as we do. To get the best work out of him
to inake him eat and thrive well, he must be prop-
erly shorn.
Our clippers are guaranteed to,give results. The new
English power clipper with extra balance wheel is an im-
provement over American makes, as the speed is uniform,

Why Your
Home Needs
•Zam-Buk.
Hardly a day goes by but
what some member of your
family sustains some slight
injury. You may think the
injury too trivial for attention,
but remember whenever the
skin is- broken there is danger
of blood poison!
Zam-Buk,, the great herbal healer,
does away with all risk. A stronger
antiseptic than carbolic, yet causing
no pain when applied, no °Tuns can
live where Zam-Buk is used. More
than- this, Zarn-Buk quickly relieves
the pain of sores and )zotinds,and
the rich herbal essences it contains so
stimulate the tissues that new healthy
skin is formed and the wound or sore
healed in a short tirne. This is why
your home needs Zain-Buk.
It only -takes a moment to
apply Zam-Buk, and think of
the hours, and perhaps years,
of suffering it may save! Get
the habit -tell your children
where the box is, they'll do
the rest; because Zam-Buk
stops the pain.
Zam-Buk- is unlike ordinary oint-
ments in that it is purely herbal. It
does not contain harsh minerals, poi-
sonous coloring matter, or coarse
animal fats. Zam-Ruk is Healing,
Soothing, and An tisep tic, -a cure fur
cuts, 1.m& -ns, bruises, piles, eczema,
ulezrs, pimples, cold sores, and all
skin diseases and injuries. Refuse
subi,titutes,=see name Zam-Buk

Mr. Rowan in ttet )11ast
, Mr, N. rilr.„ Rowell, the gifted leader
of the Liberal (party kin the Legislature
visited NOVA Abbas. and. 'New Bruns-
wich lately and was given a very hear-
ty trecerition by the "people by the sea.
It may- be interestihg to, many of our
readers to know what 'the Blue Noses
ththk o the -Ontario-Liberal leader.
The following are a Ow extracts from
the ,papers of the leading cities,. The
Halifax Chronicle says: "It is not a
mere compliment to a visitor to say
;that Mr. Rowell's' .presentation of the
issue's involved in the war and above
all his masterly expoaltion ion the prin-
ciples upon which Britain's greatness
Js founded and through which Imperial
unity and strength have developed,
made ,this address easily the finest
which Halifax has heard since the out-
break (of the war. Ontario may well
be congratulated upon enlisting in its
public sbrvice such a gifted leader as
Mr. Rowell. The message .which he del-
ivered tb the Canadian (Club will be an
inspiration in the days of 'stress and
anxiety which are to porno."
St. Jo;hn •T-elegraplie-"If- those who
heard Mr. N. eW. Rowell before thc
Canadian Club of this city could have
their way, they would, no doubt,. have
anybody, in New Brunswick listen' to
the same speech. Perhaps no one who
liees Spoke:a in, this city. since the war
began brought out so pointedly the
duty of every citizen elf the Empire
in these circumstances. The addresfoof
Mr. Rowell-, is at one° an inspiration
and a battle -cry. -He Is ;now being'
heard for the first time in the Mari-
time Provinces and those who had the
pleasure of hearing him bust all have
regretted that he was not sbealting in
a great hall Where ttousands could
hear him. The Liberals of Ontario have
in Mr. Rowell a rapidly rising man
and a great leader." '
Mencton Transport,. New Brunswick.
--".Mr. Rowell's speech was a liteeary
treat, a great oratorical 'effort and
breathed a sound spirit of patriotic
fervor and views along British 'demo-
cratic constitutional lines."
Moncton Times, New Brunswick: --e•
"One of the b0st" addresses yet given
under the auspices of the Moncton
Canadian Club was delivered by Mr. N.
W. Rowell of Toronto, his subject be-
ing "Democracy vs: Militarism."

The Goderich Signal of last week
says: :A. good-sized deputation from
Goderich, was at Toronto, last week
some representing the town council,
others the Board of - Trade, and still
others the ebunty council. Most of them
attended the Hydro-radip,1 convention,
others the annual meeting of the As-
sociated: Board of Trade of Ontario.
Mayor Reid, with •representatives of
Kincardine, Huron township and Ash-
waltedt upon Sir Adam Beck to
siee if there was any prospect of re-
lief for the municipalities concerned in
the Ontario West Shore Railwaf fiasco.
The deputation•receiVed no definite as-
surance of assistance, though some-
thing may be done in conneetion with
the proposed Hydro -radial 'system to
put the 0 fW. S. Reilway it:ex:operation.
rWardeetGovenlock, Reeve Livingston
of Grey,Coanty 'Clerk ;Jane and Coun-
ty Treasurer Holmes waited upon Pre-
mier 1:fearst to ask that present legis-
lation on the subjeat be so amendetd
that electric railways may be con-
structed- under county auspices, the
present law recognizing only the minor
municipalities in this respect. An un-
favorable reply was received, in spite of
the fact that on a former occasion Sir
Adam Beck stated/ there would be no
difficult -et in having the neared change
made.
-Another Matter in regard no which
members of the deputation showed. some
curosity was •the prospect 'of a fulfill=
ment sof the 'promises (made by .•Sir
Adam Beck reepecting power develop-
ment an the River Mffitland. The reply
indicated clearly enough that Sir Adam
has no intention el fulfilling- his pro -
misses made to the ;people of Goderich.

OW-T./RATION
The configtiratien of thetterritory oc-
ctipied by European Russia is that of
a broad . elevated, plain, ranging bee
• tween 50ff and 900 feet above sea level
'deeply cut into by river valleys, and
bounded on an sides by low swelling
Mountain' ranges.* On this enormous
plain, two thousand miles long by about
one thousand miles wide, there are no
bills of more than at few hundred feet
high. Its rivers are sluggish, tortuous
and uncertain in the direction of their
flow. The Volga, with a length of 2,-
400 miles, has -an avera,ge drop to the
aillenof ,only four inches. Of the aggre-
gate surface of European Russia (apart
from Poland and -,Finland), 19 per cent.
Is occupied by lakes, marshes, and sand,
39 per cent. by forests, 16 per cent,
by prairies, and as 'per cent. is under
cultivation.
The Russian Empire is almost en-
tirely confined to the cold and tem-
perate zones. Everywhere in European
Russia the winter is cold and the sum -
teller hot. The seasons vary in duration
hut differ relatively little in the •exe
Cremes of temperature. Everywhere the
rainfall is small, and does not reach its
maximum in -winter, in Western Eu-
rope, but in the sunamer season:

A.GRICULTURE
;Agriculture ele• the chief occepatiore
of seven -eighths aU European Russia's
east populatiom. Few nations have_such
a great percentage of their people liv-
ing on the soil -and by the soil as
Russia. !
In 19(13, Russia produced neanly
fourth of the • World's wheat, fully
fourth of its oats, a third of, its barley,
and more than half of, its rye. About
two-thirds of .its area are sown every
every year with. cereals in the .follow-
ing proportions: Rye 34 per cent,*
wheat 26 per cent, oats- 20 per fent-,
barley 10 1-2 per cent, 101 sugar beets,
6 to 8 Million tons axe (grown; of to-
bacco, 100,000 tons, and in central and
northwest Russia, flax and hemp oc-
cupy considerable acreages.
To the north is ye, reklon of vast for-
ests, extending ever an area. or more
that 500,000 square mike. Hunting,
and the exploitation "Of the forest
provide the principal occupation of the
iehabitants-Farther south, agriculture
becomes the prombient industry, and
forest industries are secondary..; The
panrindc*Iptaeliterops are 7oats, .. bar17',
Te the south and west of tbis lies
the great black earth region, of exceed-
ing 'natural ferfility. Here agriculture
,313 carried on more. intelligently than is
aornmmily the case elsewhere. Wheat,
flax and potatoes are cultivated, harde
fruits thrive, and livestock breeding
prospers. Farther' east and north, con
ditions as to rioild and climate are less
favorable. Wheat is the principal Crop,
but rye, buckwheat and oats are also
cultivated., In the region 'TA the South-
ern Steppes, wheat, maize, barley and
flax re the usual crops. Vast numbers
of sheep and horses give these Indus.
tries equal prominence.
In Spite lof the efforts that have been
made for ! improving. the condition of
agricultura, modern methods show lit-
tle if any advance, and agriculture
stands at a low level. 'Modern dairy-
i•arrning is only just beginning, but but
ter is being exported- hi increasing
quantities to Western Europe -includ-
, Ing Great Britain. Ohtthe other hand
live stock is diminishilig in numbers all
round. , Although the average exporta-
tion of cereals bas Increased. from 1
1-2 million `tons in 1860t to over six
million tons in 1900, the result has been
obtained largely through cropping the
soil to exhaustion. 1

PEOPLE (
;The Russian people are of origin too
.verse to be here discussed. There are
maiay different races under the Rus -
Ian flag as there are under the Bri-
h. More than half the thirteen million
aws of the world live for the most
'art in Russian Poland. From this
ource corne !met of the Russian immi- •
rants into Canada and the United
tates.
More than 88 millions of Russians
re peasants. Half of ellen\ were form- ,
rIy serfs. The 'release of 50 million
rfs in 1861 was followed by the pure
hese by the government of 360 mil- I
on acres of land from the land own-
s. This land was turned over- to the
TRADE AND nfANUFACTURES,
The wealth of Russia cqnsists mainly
of raw produce. The trade of the coun-
try turns chiefly an the purchase of
thls for export, and ion the sale- of
manufactured and imported goods in
exchange. The traffic Is in the hands.
of middlemen, to whom the peasant;
are for the most part in debt, as they
purchase in advance and nay in pro-
duce. A. great deal of the interne trade
is carried on by travelling merchants.
Fairs are very numerous, and have
considerable importance both for trade
and for home manufactures. Nothing is
bought by the peasant:,that he can fa- ,
shion for himself, fore rubles are few
and far between with him.. What little
he buys is usually obtained in trade. ;
Measured by population standards,
Russia's foreign trade is exceediagly
small. The imports of the port of New
York alone are one and a . half times
as great as those of Russia, New York s
exports are of a huredred million dol -
ars greater value thinSRussia's con -a
tribution to international trade.

Manufacturing industry in the mod-

existed in Russia before the 19th cen-
tury. PreviouS to that lt consisted of

THE DISEASE IS ALWAYS ROOTED
IN THE BLOOD,: WHICH 'MUST
BE iMADE RICH AND PURE.
•••••• &WM,
There are still many people who im-
agine that rheumsatism can ibe cure&
by liniments and rubbing, overlooking -
the 'medical fact that the trouble is
rooted In the blood. Rneumatism case
only be cured by cleansing and enrich -
big the blood, thus driving out of the
system the poisenous acids -which cause,
the rheumatic pains. Dr. Williains'Pinke
Pills cure the most obstinate cases of
rheumatism because they go straight
to the root (lithe trouble in the blood:,
Every. dose helps to make rieh,
blood, and this new blood expells the
'poisonous acid, bringing health and to the tortured victim. Do not
waste time and money in liniments ant-
• outward applications. Give Dr. ;Willi-
am's ittrik Pills a fair trial and thue
delve the disease out of your - system.
Here is proof or what .Dr."
Pink Pills cam do in cases of tbis kind.
Itichard Palmer, 'Wrozeter,
says: 'For months my life was made
miserable through; a combined attack .
of rheumatism and sciatica. The rheu-
neatilsm seemed to settle 'in all my
joints and the sciatica, pains were so.
great that ,I could scarcely hobble a-.
bout. I ain a farmer, and so you can
understand that in my condition I was,
unable to do my ordinary work. Neith-
er doctors nor various remedies I took.
dila me any good. Finally I was in-
duced to try Dr. tiVitlianne Pink Pills,
and for this 1 have mach tote thank-
ful for, as after t eking a few boxes
e pains began to disappear, and by
the time I had taken nine boxes every
twinge of both the rheumatism and.
the sciatica had disappeared and I was •
able (to go to work again as usual,
and have hot lost a day through illness!
since. I am thoroughly grateful for
whei.il Dr. Virilliatne Phik Pills have
done for me and hope iny experience
will benefit some other sufferer."
It is the curing of justsuch cases
as ;these that has given Dr. WIlliernsts
