The estimate is based on certain reports received to date, and a survey taken of the province. This estimate. which was submitted to the W.AP. correspondent Monday, is provisional and entirely contingent on weatber conditions. It will all depend on how soon the farmers can get on their land and if conditions are such that head- way can be made during the next five to ten days in the areas where the ground is not dry, the wheat acreage will not he decreased by much more than one and a half million ‘acres,

The call for 400,000 women to re- place the 350,000 men who will be missing from ‘agricultural pursuits throughout Creat Britain has been heard by responsive ears and without criticism from any of the women's organizations or from the press. Only a small portion of the press, after re-

The press as a whole is unanimous in|

It “is interesting to know that the) United States has in its pay a quiet sturdy Hollander known ag a plant explorer, He has travelled in most of the out-ofthe-way places in the world in search of grains, plants,. trees, shrubs, and roots that would add to. the agricultural wealth of the SPORtss. | The Far Pastern Review in Shanghai, China, credits Mr. Frank N.

Probably the most important of his discoveries ig the Cliinese wild peach, which he believes may become the root, stock for the stone fruits. This aboriginal parent grows in the ! wildest and most arid regions of China. It requires practically no water, but thrives in,dry, sandy, stony wastes.

; The following regulations re men jin barracks antl billets are given in ;the Canadian Patriotic Fund: bulletin: Troops training in the Dominion | will be divided into two classes: (A) | those quarteréd in barracks, and (B) _those sleeping and eating in their lown homes. :

| (A) The wives of the former will receive an allowance of 65 censt.a day or about $20 .a month, which will be paid directly to them by the pay- masters of the unit and not’ sent to them from militia headquarters as hitherto. They will also receive their husband’s assigned pay and aré en- titled to assistance from ‘the Patriotic | Fund on the usual conditions and at {the usual ‘rates. 3

|. (B) Men of the second. class will receive from the paymaster $1.95 a day, being $1.10 pa and 85 cents sub- sistence allowance. Part of this will be paid to the man and part to his wife. As this amounts to almost $14 a week, the national executive com- | mittee of the Canadian Patriotic Fund | feels that, while the man fs living in /his own home, he should pe able to |maintain his family adequately with- ; out the aid of the fund; The families of such men, therefore’ are not re- | garded ag in need nor entitled to be | included in the category of those. to whom assistance may be given.

When Was Punctuation Invented? |

Punctuation-marks, which divide and end gentences, and thereby simp- and undérstanding of written and printed matter, are said to have been applied first by Aristo- phanes. The system invented by him did not pecome generally known and soon was entirely forgotten. About a thousand years passed before a simi, lar effort at improvement became tol} be made. It was at the time of Charleg the Great when, at the instiga- tion of the philosophers, Warnefried and Alkuin, marks of punctuation were again introduced into writing. But these again fell into desuetude. The present system now used with but minor difference in all modern Isnguages, was introduced in the first half of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius, the celebrated Iralian print- et. He ig the real father of our punc- taation marks—the period, comma, sémi-colon, coion, apostrophe, and the | question, excalmation and quotation | marks.

The Modetn Way to Ship Livestock to Market

. The live stock shipping —associa- tions, common in Minnesota and Wis- consin, are co-operative institutions of unusual merit. They substitute for the old local. buyer system, a system of handling stock that results in- an actual saving in necessary ex- penses amounting to forty or fifty This saving is entirely outside of any profits that the local buyer might take. It is

quite impossible for a local buyer complet. with a shipping associa- tion,

_ There are approximately 200 these associations in Minnesota, and so far as we know, says A. D. ‘Wil- son, director, of the extension divi- sion of the Minnesota college of agri- culture, not © one has failed... The organization is exceedingly simple as no capital ctock is sold and none is needed. It represents simply a mutual agreement by a ‘group. of farmers to ship their stock together, and by this means each farmer, ¥:- gardiess of the amount of stock handled, is enabled to ship to.a cen- tral.market at carload rateg and to get exactly what his stock brings on the market less the cost of freight. yardage, commission, etc: In other words, a man call sell one hog to just as good advantage as he can a carload.

Russia Has Big _

Has Sufficient Stored in Siberia. to Last Two Years

. The Petrograd correspondent of the London Times says that Alexander N. Naumoff, the new minister of agricul- ture, made his first appearance in the duma.with an important speech on the Russian food prices. He referred to the lessening of agriculture since the beginning of the war and later to the decrease in the herds of cattle, which’ he regarded as the gravest feature of the food situation, which he hopes to remedy in part by forcing the substi- tution of mutton, pork and fish.

C. Naumoff estimated that the rise inithe price of necessities has been 57 per cent. in Russia, as compared to 70 per cent:in Germany. Emphasizing the need of good transportation facili- ties to help the food situation, the new minister said that there is stored at - Akmolinsk, Siberia, stocks of cereals sufficient to supply Huropean Russia for two years. He recommended the construction of a . 200-mile ilway from Kokshetavaska to Petropaviosk to link this region with the trunk lines of the Siberian railway.

By. the employment of prisoners of war, refugees and soldiers, C. Naumoft said, over a million hands will be. available shortly in Russia for agri- cultural purposes.

Dry Soldiering 203rd- Battalion Bans the Use of Liquor

In its Ranks

The popularity of “Dry Soldiering” has been demonstrated beyond-the pos- sibility of a doubt in the response re-

Many of those who have flocked to join the king’s forces in this new bat- talion, have stated that the fact that the saloon is to be always “out of bounds” for its members, has been the one point of preference most. out- standing and influencing them in their selection of leadership.

The 23rd was originally heralded as the “Methodist Battalion.” This }-w ever, Was an error, as its ranks ara open to all.

they are doing splendid work. There |. ‘| are no better troops than the Canad-

jans/in the war. Our losses so far have peen approximately 10,000.

“The entire Dominion 1s divided in- to. ten militia districts. That is not a war measure, but a part of our old maclhitiery for recruiting that has been in force for many years, and it has been adequate in the emergency of war. We had 75,000 men in our regular militia before the war,. but the law prohibited the government from sending that body of men,#as such, out of the country, so we be- gan the organization of the overseas expeditionary force, and the regular militiamen, for the most ‘part, went from the stay-at-home troops over in- to the new forces, giving us an excel- lent nucleus for the fighting organiza- tion. This plan enabled us to equip and send across the Atlantic 33,000 men in six weeks after the war be- gan. Since then we have sent nearly 100,000 more. '. “It has not been necessary to open new recruiting stations. The prelim- inary work of getting the men is car- ried on in each of the ten districts by the regimental or battalion organiza- tion of each province, and the re- sponse is so loyal and spontaneous that, as I have already told you, the new men are enlisting at the rate ofa thousand a day for the entire Domin: ion. We have some difficulty in the problem of housing them till we can get them abroad ship., All the avail- able armories are in use as barracks; we have been obliged to hire a‘ good many buildings and in some cases we are billeting the reeruits in. homes, which is an awkward thing to do. If we could only get the boats we could have a constant stream of well train- éd men going from Canada to where they would do the most good. Of course, the bulk of them are infan- try, but every arm of the service is - represented in the Canada expedi- tlon.” >

General Hughes shares the opinion of the rest of official Canada, as ex- pressed by Sir Robert Borden, ‘the prime minister, and by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the opposition leader, that the war is only in its early stages, that England has been obliged to de- vote the first two years of hostilities to- getting ready.

“This recruiting,” he said, “is go- $16.11; in Quebec, $33.08 and $16.44; ing to continue until we have defeated in Ontario, $31.09 and $17.12; in Mani- Germany: and crushed Prussia.

“Ha8S Canada any’ slackers?”

“Not many; not enough to interfere ‘with what we must do. The response is very general everywhere, depend- ing, of course, somewhat, upon the in- dustrial conditions of any given local- ity. In factory towns, where manu- facturing plants are running overtime and calling for help in the work of getting out war munitions, we do not expect to get aS many men in pro- portion to population as we do in the rural districts or in non-manufactur- ing communities. ing to complain about, and we cannot say that this or that element in the population is hanging back. The rich and the poor, the French and the Eng- lish Canadians, and even the Indians, are all coming out to help Canada and the rest of civilization. Many of the employers of labor in the country are giving their men leave of absence, with pay,’ to serve in the overseas forces, and nearly every woman and ehild in the Dominion is doing some- thing for the welfare of the men who

“are fighting or for the support of the families left at home.

“What Canada is doing is raising a trained democratic army. Both of the adjectives I have used, trained and democratic, are of the utmost im- portance in understanding this situa- .tion. Our strength, up to a million

. would make good men out of the bad ones and better men out of the good ones.” :

‘General: Hughes’ advocacy of the democratic army and the training of all the men of a nation for itis based on the knowledge of his own exper- jences and the traditions of his fan- ily. His great-great-grandfather, with two sons, was killed at Waterloo, and another-son was wounded there. His own son and two of his brothers are officers in the Canadian army now in Kurope, and his own life has been a blend of literary activities in times of peace and. of fighting whenever Eng- Jand or Canada has had any litile trouble to attend to.

British Newspapers

Owing to Shortage of Paper and War

Restrictions, the Old Country Papers Are Hard Hit

Restricted imports, as foreshadowed

by Mr. Runciman’s doctrine of compul- sory thrift in war times, seriously af-

fects British newspapers and the pub- lishing trade generally. It is the irony of fate that while the newspapers have been foremost in enjoining upon the people habits of economy, they are among the first to suffer through

;the new sumptuary laws proposed by

the British government. Mr. Runci- man announces that the import of a large percentage of the material from which paper is made will soon be pro- hibited. A reduction in newspaper supplles of thirty or forty per cent., which the words “a large percentage” seem to indicate, will revolutionize the newspaper publishing business in the United Kingdom.

One of the reasons put forward for this drastic step is the serious short- age of shipping owing to the demands

made by the war on the British mer- | stroy

cantile fleet. Every year paper and steamers occupied about two million tons space, a grave consideration just now in view of the greater importance of food supplies and munitions, The

sudden stoppage of newspapers would ,

be regarded as calamitous. With all their ‘shortcomings, they endeavor faithfully to mirror the daily life of the world.

Smaller newspapers in. Britain would be a constant reminder of the necessily of thrift. Lditorgs would be compelled to sift and select news and condense the reading matter. This might prove a blessing in disguise. Mr. Runciman's appeal for a “rigid economy” in the use.of paper for all purposes will affect the child in the school, the housekeeper in the kitchen, the publisher of books, and may bring about a most desirable reform in the curtailment of newspapers, and a more rigid editorial censorship. News- papers will welcome any change in the habits of the people which admits

SELECTION

OT ONLY INTERES? but real valuo attaches to the question of carefully noting the individual p2rformance

of each cow in the herd. Itis only after keeping a camplete record that one finds such a strange contrast as this: of. two five year old cows in one herd, both fresh the same day, both « dried off the same week, one gave 5,454 pounds of milk and 218 pounds of fat, the other gave only 3,570 pounds of: milk

Most probably the owner would not

have taken'on a bet at’ the beginning of the season that the one eow could bring in over twenty-two dollars more than the

other, but she did.

In an other section, of two cows the same age, one gave 8,430 pounds of milk and 362 pounds of fat but the other gave

only 1,690 pounds of milk and 67 pounds of fat,

Is there a

difference of eighty-cight dollars in the garning power of any

two cows in your herd?

The death sentence passed on Cedor Kwzamenka, the Russian who killed a compatriot in a barroom fight at Ia- monton, Has also been commuted to life imprisonment.

Cedor Kuzmenko, a foreigner who at his trial last January, was convict- ed of murder in the first degree und sentenced to be hanged on the 18th cf this month, has received commutation of his sentence through the efforts of his lawyer, Hon, A. G.| Mackay.

Kuzmenko was convicted of having murdered: F. Genoski, the tragedy be- ing the result of a stabbing affray at the International hotel. On Monday afternoon Mr, MacKay received a tele- gram from Thos.

OUOTLAND HAD HAST EXPERIENCE WITH ZEPPELIN RAID

LONDON, April 4.—A\ Scottish corres- pondent ina dispatch on Sunday ‘night’s air raid says:

“Scotland had its first experience with @ Zeppelin raid Sunday night. A Zep- pelin appeared ten minutes before mid- night and circled over the town for forty minutes, dropping many bombs.

“Warning of the cnemy’s approach was given to the people by the electric lights being cut off. Everybody re- mained calm and many persons ventured into the streets to get u better view of the raider. No building of public im- portance was struck but much damage was done in the residential quarter.

Five Killed tn Tenement

“Five persons were killed in a passage leading to a tenement building whose occupants were obliged to make their exit by means of fire escapes. Two ser- vant girls employed in « doctor's house were d, while a man was killed in the stregt. Two hotels were struck and several Persons were killed or injured A bomb in one instance penetrated a building from the roof to the basement.’

Another Scottish correspondent tells of the arrival of another Zeppelin over an unnamed town.

“Several bombs were dropped and im- mediately set fire ‘to a building which Mared up [In sich ao manner that the correspondent says the blaze must have revealed the whole countryside to the Germans."

MILITARY TAKING PRECAUTIONS ON STREET TROUBLE

WINNIPEG, April 4.—Winnipeg’s streets are still being patrolled by sol- diers and the police station is still un- der a military guard.

These are merely precautionary de- tails, however, for perfect quiet reign- ed throughout the night and this morn- ing.

All hotels are still out of bounds, but any feeling of restlessness among the men has ceased by an order of the military authorities permitting the soldiers to take part in elimination boxing contests preparatory to the military athletic carnival which will be held at the horse show building on Frida? and Saturday evenings.

The city police court is the scene of the aftermath of the riot.

A number of riot cases were handled by Sir Hugh John MacDonald yester- day, but in the cases where convictions were registered the prisoners were remanded till today ‘for sentence.

The docket includes the names of eight clvillans and 88 soldiers.

Gain or no gain the course before the farmers of Canada is as clear as it was last year—-they must produce abundantly in order to meet the demands that may be made, and I believe this to be especially true in regard to. live stock, the world’ s supply of which must be particularly affected in this yast struggle. Stress and strain may yet be in store for us all before this tragic conflict is over, iut not one of us doubts the issue, and Canadians will do their duty in the highest sense of that great word.”—HON.

THE BUFFALO STABLES

Have

SOME GOOD BARGAINS

decided upon.

These prices are based-on the estimated pro- duction for the coming year—never on the profits earned the preceding, year.

For instance, some time before August 1, 1914 the Ford Canadian executives decided that the demand for Ford cars for the fiseal year starting Aug. Ist., would be about 30,000 cars. With this production it would be possible to reduce the price $v.

So an announcement was made to the public at large that the prices of lord cars would be $60 less for the coming year.

It must be admitted that this was a remark- ably sincere and substantial expression of faith in the prosperity of Canada and the :mpire that prompted this Canadian firm to stake their entire business, on the continued prosperity of their country.

Yet the Ford Canadian executives did not allow the war to interfere with their plans in the slightest degree. They considered the pros- perity of Canada and the victory of the allied cause as assured.

This was emphasized a second time last August when the prices of Ford cars were again reduced by $60.

Profitably to manufacture the Ford Canadian ear at this lowered price requires a production of 40,000 cars during the yearending Auy. 1, i 916.

To quote from General Manager !ceGregor’ own statement: °

“Tf this company is able to manufacture an: sell 40,000 cars between August 1, 1915 and August 1, 1916, we know that our buying capacity, the production efficiency of our manu: facturing plant, and the distribution of over head expense over a voluine of this size w il enable us to reduce our prices $30 per car and

HiT

Farm horses left from the last big sale.

| Also some HEAVY HARNESS AND WAGONS

Guaranteed to sell as cheap for

cash as any place in the prov-

a knowledge of how prices of Ford cars are

on this volume.”

“a) owe are only able to manufacture sand sell 20,01K1 ) inte the reduction of $60 per car would not be Warran he and this company would be oper a at a loss. It is the profit on the additional 20, 000 cars which makes the price reduction of $60 oxen sible.’

Altheesh to builk i 40,000 cars means doub-

ling ast year’s business, the Ford executives firmly bcheve that prosperity in Canada will be of such proportions this year as to create a

demand for fully this much inereased business. And the sales io date and the prospects for the next few months prove that they are correct in their belief. ~ Moreover, this action becomes increasingly significant when the advance in price of raw materials is ta ken into consideration. At least one vutome hile yinufacturer has been obliged to increase the pr ice of his ear on this account. And the ford Company again have an added burden in the increased duty on the few raw materials that they are obliged to buy in the United States.

most powerful explosive known to man. It is largely composed of one of the derivatives of coal tar, namely, pic- ric acid. To convert and develop the explosive properties of this new discovery to the purposes of war was onty a matter of time and experi- ment for the expert chemists. They did not labor in vain, for they found that by melting the picric acid crystals until they turned into a fluid of the consistency of cream, and then combining this fluid with gun cotton melted in alcohol, they got an ex- plosive more terrifying and. tremend- ous in its destructive powers than anything else known before or since,

Look up Seed Potatoes Now

Owing to the heavy’ losses in pota- woes by disease last year, growers are advised by the Dominion department of agriculture to immediately reserve for seed purposes the quantity, and a little more to make allowance for fur- ther tosses through rot, required for geed purposes. These should be hand- selected tubers, sound and free from any sign of size and pure.in variety. They should be kept until planting time in’a dark, well ventilated and cool place of stor- age, spread out in a layer not more than three potatoes deep. There can be little doubt that farmers who have a good quantity of sound seed potatoes

-on hand will obtain a high price for then: when others begin to realize the |

scarcity of such seed.

Aden, however, where the British and Turkish forces met, enjoys none of these advantages, catalogued as in- herent in Arabja Felix. Spread over its ragged hills of sun made ash and cinder, sweltering, gloomy and unre- lieved by végetation, Aden invites little attention in pé&ce times. “Aden is a valley surrounded py whe sea; its climate is so bad that it turns wine into vinegar in the space of ten days,” comp!ained one disappointed Arab traveller of the Middle.

And in the centuries since his visit the climate hag uot improved. In Spite of the terrible heat that gathers over Aden’s valley and = olings to its low hills, and its lack of a good water supply, the place maintains a repu- | tation of being a healthful place.

Farmers Mulcted By Hog Buyers

Mr. McCoig Figures That They Suf- fered Nearly 100,000 In ’ Season

According to figures compiled from the official blue books by Mr, Archis B. McCoig, }4P. for West Kent, the farmers of Canada who raige h have beeen mulcted to the extent of $179,906 during the past season” by the operations of the hog-buyers. , The modus operandi of the buyers’ is to collect from ‘ihe farmere oné-haif of one per cent. of the purchase price, designating the assessment as being made for the expense of “inspection,” while the government inspectors have been fully paid by the government self.

According to official records, 1,795,- 053 hogg were purchased by the vartl- ous abattoirs during the season; a large number of these being from Ontario farmers. Of. these 4,007 were condemned. Allowing for the pay- ment in’ full for these condemned hogs, which are used for other purposes, -such as fertilizers, glue, ete., Mr. McCoig shows that the farm- ers have been mulcted to the extent of nearly $100,000 on one season’s hogs. He is desirous of having the government step in and put an end to this. “rake-off’ on the part’ of the buyers. .

Mr. McCoig brought the matter to the attention of Hon. J. D. Hazen, acting minister of agricultufe, when parliament was in committee on sup- ply. He asked as to the serum treat- asa preventive of cholera

New Brunswick Lady Feels It Her ' Duty to Tell Women That Dodd’s Kidney Pills Are the Best Remedy She Ever Used.

-(Special).--"l think Dodd's Kidney ills are wort) their weight in goid.” This is the statement of Mrs. James Brown, well -known and = higialy re- spected here

“} chink it would be ungrateful on my part if I did not tell what a bless ing Dodd’s Kidney Pilis have been to me,” Mrs. Brown continued. ‘1 was in bed three weeks with headache and jsore back. Then | began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and | found them the best remedy | have ever used.”

Mrs. Brown is just one of the many ‘women in New Brunswick who are telling ‘of pains relieved and health restored by the great Canadian kid- ney. remedy. Dodd's Kidney Pillg are }sulfering women’s best friend, because they act directly on the kidneys. They tone up the kidneys'and put them in condition to do their full work of straining all the impurities out of the blood. Nine-tenths of women's troubles come from diseased or disor- {dered kidneys.’ There is abundant evidence on every hand that Dodd's Kidney Pills curve all Kidney troubles.
