The Canadian Farm in a recent issue
I publishes some comments made by Con-
gressman Campbell. of Kansas, follow-
!ing a visit to Canada. The Congress-
man believes that the Canadian farmer
has the better end of the reciprocity
bargain. He says; "Our farmers
have been voting for a policy that has
made them a market at home, and
while Canada has been gaining a popu-
lation of less than eight millions we
have gained a population of more than
ninety millions. It isunjust, therefore,
as I see it, not alone to the American
beople who depend for their prosperity
on the prosperity of the farmers, now
to divide our markets with the farmers
of Canada. We all appreciate them as
good neighbors, but they have done
nothing to earn the right of entry into
our markets with the produet of their
farms, naw so rapidly developing, upon
equal terms with our own farmers.
With free trade in our market for the
products of Canadian farms, that coun-
try would not only take our markets.,
from us, to a damaging extent, blit
would draw from us at the same time
some of our best people. Their growth
in both wealth and population will bet
in a large degree, at our expense. Al:
ready there has been a large emigra-
tion from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, and
other farming States to Canada. Our
farmers were attracted by free land
upon which they could produce' abund-
ant crops. With the United States
market open to them from Canada I
fear our high-priced lands will be left
and that the great farming Provinces
of Canada will be settled up by .Ameri-
eans."

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Canada's sus toms collections for the
month of April totalled $5,609,124.58,
and port deposits of March collections
$978,078.57, a total revenue of $6,587,-
203.15. This is upwards of half a mil-
lion greater than in the corresponding
period last year, when the total reven-
ue was $6,024,178.10, made up of April
collections, $5,054,767.76, and port de-
posits of March collections $969,410.34.
A determined attempt is being made
to convince western farmers that the
opening to them of the United States
markets would be of no pecuniary ad-
vantage to them, but, in fact, would
be detrimental to their interests. The
enterprise is likely to end in failure,
because the western farmers, whatever
their faults, are not fools; and the ad-
vantage to them of having an addition-
al market, of great and growing di-
mensions, opened to their superior mill-
ing wheat, is so obvious as not to
require formal demonstration. If there
is a case against reciprocity it must be
based upon something vastly different
from the theory now being advocated
by the Conservative M. P.'s from
Manitoba, that the western farmer
will be ruined if he is given the option
of selling his wheat in the Minneapolis
market if he can get more money for
it than he can in Liverpool. Ottawa
Free Press.
There is no indication of any ending
of the Parliamentary deadlock over
reciprocity. Indeed, the members who
have been away for the week -end have
come back as full of fight as they went
away, and it is asserted equally on both
sides that there will be no surrender,
but that the fight will be kept on to
the bitter end. It is significant that
the Liberals are as enthusiastic as are
Conservatives over the prospect of a
fight. There is, of course, a certain
disappointment among those who had
planned summer outings, and especially
among those who had been selected to
represent the Dominion Parliament at
the Coronation, and while they are still
hoping against hope that "something
Will snap" and allow their attendance
at the great event in June, the Liber-
als, at least, ate ready to abandon the
signal honor conferred upon them and

Uric Acid Suffering.
Uric acid is an accumulation of poison
which finds lodgment in the system
when the kidneys fail to remove it from
the blood. In the kidneys and bladder
it forms stones, in the joints and mus-
cles it causes rheumatism, In any case
the pain and suffering is almost beyond
human endurance. Uric acid is prompt-
ly removed from the system when the
kidneys are kept healthy and active by
using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills.
THE PURE -FOOD LAW.
One of the recent extensions of na-
tional legislation which has justified
itself is the pure -food law. It was
never quite clear, says Youth's Com-
panion, why it should not be a punish-
able offence to counterfeit food and
medicine as well as money, and al-
though some fear was at first expressed
that legitimate business might be ham-
pered by the requirements of the Aat,
the purveyors of food and drugs have
accomodated themselves easily to their
obligations, and are as ready as any
one to admit the.propriety of rules to
insure purity.
The records of prosecution and con-
viction under this law indicate that the
amount of really dangerous merchan-
dise is not now large. Most of the
offences are simple dishonesty. Pack-
ages are falsely marked as to weight
or quantity; or worthless, although
harmless, substances are sold for high
prices, under wholly false representa-
tions of their value.
There are, however, some medical
preparations which contain actively
injurious ingredients, such as alcohol,
morphine or chloral; and unwholesome
articles of food, ,particularly such as
have been kept too long in storage, are
discovered and destroyed. The next
extension of the law must be in the
direction of supervision of storage
warehouses; and in limitation of the
time food products may be kept in
them.
Most observers will think the punish-
ments allowed by the statute and in-
flicted by the courts might well be
more severe, but in other respects the
law appears to be effective both in
provision and administration.
The fear that it would add to the
already high "cost of living" has prov-
ed groundless. It has no appreciable
effect on the price of foods or drugs,
unless, perhaps, through the disap-
pearance from the market of some
preparations which were so heavily
adulterated as to be dear at any price.

WAR AGAINST FLIES.
It is not long since house fies were
looked upon as an unavoidable nuisance
causing a great deal of annoyance, but
that was all. Scientists now tell us
that they are among the most indus-
trious carriers and distribvtors of dis-
ease germs. They fairly revel in dirt.
the more filthy the better they like it.
Their feet being covered with a sticky
substance they carry away part of the
stuff where they last lit, and this they
deposit on the spot they next visit. It
is pleasant to think of their going from
the garbage can to the sugar bowl, is
it not? But this is the consequence if
you let flies in and they will get in not-
withstanding screen doors and win-
dows, if they exist. •
Now is the time to begin the cam-
paign against them. The rubbish
around the yard and garden should be
got rid of at once for as soon as it
starts to decay it becomes a refuge for
flies. Then sinks should be kept clean
and there should be no leaks in water
pipes or drains. The premises should
be kept free of garbage, and while itis
awaiting removal the garbage can
should be kept covered. Unfortunate-
ly, the city has not so far co-operated
with the householders in this respect
by instituting a garbage system, but
they should do the best they can under
the circumstances, for it is only by
cleanliness that the fly can be got rid
of. It is of the greatest possible im-
portance to begin the campaign against
these disease breeding pests now, be-
cause they multiply so rapidly. The
one that is allowed to live now will be-
come a thousand in July and the trouble,
the annoyance and, perhaps, sickness
later will be prevented by an immediate
war upon dirt, their breeding ground.
Spread of the Auto.
Automobile making has been the
phenomenon of modern industry. The
United States censas shows that the
total value of automobiles made in the
country in 1909 was $165,115,100.
Michigan's output was $70,519,500. The
average value of each machine is indi-
cated by the eensus figures to have
been $1,297. These figures are factory
prices. For the entire country the
value of the automobile parts produced
in 1909 was $29,607,500. Touring cars
in 1909 numbered 76,433 and runabouts
38,406. Less than 5,000 were for pub-
lic conveyances and business purposes.
In this respect the United States is be-
hind European countries. Gasoline ears
are far in the lead, The number made
in 1909 was 121,274 with a value of
$155,008,100; in 1904, 19,837 with a value
of $20,446,100. Electrics numbered
3,639 in 1909, valued at $6,563,500, com-
pared with1 - 42
5 in 1904, valued at 82,-
496,300.
2 -496,300. The growth of the industry
has been no doubt relatively as great
in Canada. Economists are discussing
the effect of the diversion of so much
money into a luxury. The discussion
would have some point if the majority
of well-to-do people were not already
spending a very large proportion of
their income in luxuries, some of which
yield less return in physical benefit
than the automobile. A large portion
of the outlay for automobiles is money
merely diverted to one luxury trade
from a number of others.
13 WEEKS IN HOSPITAL
Came Away No Better and Then Two
Boxes of Zam-Buk Worked
. Complete Cure.
Mr. Fred Mason, the well-known
upholsterer and mattress manufacturer
of St. Andrews, N. B. says: -"I had
eczema on my knee, which caused me
terrible pain and inconvenience. The
sore parts would itch and burn and
tingle, and then When rubbed or
scratched, would become,very painful.
I tried various reme 'ea but got no
better, so I decided go to Montreal
and take special tre tment. Ireceived
treatment at the Montreal General
Hospital for thirte n weeks, but at the
end of that time was not cured, and
almost gave i A friend advised me
to give Zam-Buk a trial, and although
I had little hope of it doing me good, I
took the advice. Almost as soon as
applied Zam-Buk stopped the itching
and the irritation. I persevered with
the balm, and it was soon evident that
it would do me good. Each day the
pain was reduced, the sore spots began
to heal, and by the time I had used a
few boxes of Zam-Buk I was cured."
For eczema, blood -poisoning, piles,
ulcers, sores, abscesses, varicose ulcers,
bad leg, sore feet, blisters, insect
stings, poisoned wounds, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin injuries and dis-
eases, Zam-Buk is without equal. Zam-
Buk Soap should also be used for wash-
ing ail wounds, eczemous patches and
sores. All druggists and stores sell
Zam-Buk at 50c. box and Zam-Butt
Soap at 25c. per tablet, or from Zam-
Buk Co., Toronto.
A few days ago a poor blind man
struck town with his music box, and
seating himself in a prominent posi-
tion commenced to rasp out his tunes
and sing the accompaniment in a hoarse
voice. It was a pitiful sight, the poor
lone man in perpetual darkness, and
many'a nickel and dime was dropped
into his little cup. But no doubt a
kind word of sympathy and encourage-
ment, as from one human bei>ig to an-
other, would have been welcome almost
as much as the money. It is so easy
to give a dime that we never miss, but
we often forget the loneliness and de-
solation of such a life, and that the
poor victim is a human being of the
same nature as our own, craving for
human sympathy arid coma ionship.

WHY SHRRPSHIRES
ARE POPULAR.
0444.,4444.44*
What has made the Shropshire act
popular? More Sbropshires are tel
and marketed in IDngland than aann7
other two breeds, writes a New Yet*
farmer in the American Agriculturists
In this country there are over 4,000
breeders on the membership roll and
more than 328,000 auimals recorded.
The reason the breed is popular is be-
cause, these sheep give better returns
for money invested than any other
of the mutton breeds. The 1]nglisiti
farmers, yon know, are not slow to
find out what sort of live stock is the
most profitable for them to keep, and,
The Shropshire ram herewith
shown was champion at a recent
state fair. It is owned by S. 11. and
S, E. Bader of Missouri, Shropshire
sheep are adapted to almost every
condition of climate and soli in the
United States. They thrive amaz-
ingly on the rich farms of the mid-
dle west. Wherever they go they
make an excellent record. Bhrop-
shires aro probably the most popu-
lar sheep in America for the farmer.
American farmers are not slow, either.
The Shropshire Registry assoeiatioa
has nearly as many members as all
other sheep registry associations of the
mutton breeds t•, nbtned. This is am-,
ple proof of the popularity of the
breed.
Now, back of this breed are the bust•
ness capabilities of the Shropshire to
make lots of money. These sheep
show a profit to their feeder and
breeder if given any reasonable chance
to do so. They are the most cosmo-
politan of the mutton breeds and on
the same amount of food will excel
the other breeds in making more
pounds of both mutton and wool than
their rivals. They are also very pre-
line.
raline. With good care at least one and
one-fourth lambs may be expected on
the average to each ewe in the flock.
but it is ,uot uncommon even in large
flocks to get an average of one and
one-half lambs to each ewe, t doubt
also if there IX any breed that is bet-
ter
etter adapted for crossing or for breed-
ing on our own native ewes than the
Shropshire. Any one who follows the
market reports of the leading live
stock markets ' will see that lambs
sired by Shropshire rams are contin-
ually topping the market. The win-
nings at the leading live stock exhibi-
tions show that for grades and cross-
breds three-fourths of the winners are
sired by Shropshire rams. Shrop-
shires are popular sheep in this coun-
try because they are worth while
sheep.
Care of the Herd Boar.
Most farmers seem to think It a
great deal of trouble to keep a boar.
The main reason that a boar is trou-
blesome is because of inconvenient
arrangements and poor fences. Keep
him inclosed by fences that will turn
him and he will be contented. Do not
keep him in a dry or muddy lot. tie
eats grass the same as the sows and
the cows. Turn him out where he
can have range and company. A
barrow and a boar get along together.
but a bred sow makes the best com-
pany for him, and a whole herd of
bred sows won't hurt bite. He will
do much better when he baa com-
pany and show a much better dis-
position. Do not let the boar run
with the fattening bogs unless he
really needs fattening up. If the hogs
are being fed on a good balanced ra.
tion it will be all right for the boar.
A hog can be vigorous and in good
condition and not be fat.
Western Sheep Experiments.
The Wyoming experiment station
after repeated trials concludes that
corn and the bearded or Scoteb bar-
ley, when fed with alfalfa, are about
equal In value for mutton production.
Barley in this test proved to be a
shade better. Twenty-seven per cent
less alfalfa and 28 per cent less grain
were requited where barley replaced
either In a ration.
