Wt is Few 1‘.'nculv ~are to | ;,â€"_mlfll] â€". able jo: \Few as stalwart champions of the jcultural interests of the country are to be fourd as the editor>ol: that parlessly independent and very reputâ€" able journal, the Montreal Witness. Coming from such a source the folâ€" â€" \ lowing tribute to the Hon. Sydney . Fisher and his administration of this ~Amp t department in: the Laurier G@overnment should materiallyâ€" aid the ‘ farmers of North: Waterloo in decidâ€" â€" in ‘o&n a solid support to Mr. w " 3 Tiberal candidate in this â€" d The Witness says: _ Years ago, long before he became ‘ Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Sydney © Wisher initiated a popular crusade in " favor of higher farming which chiefly «in the dairying line has greatly . adâ€" »iged ever since to the . agricultural e h<of this province. He has conâ€" _ %inued that patriotic labor in . office ~in so distinguished a â€"mannerâ€"as â€"to é:nt the highest credit upon himself & theâ€"government of which he | is & â€" miémber. From his administration inâ€" :: deed will be dated the establishment _ ef scientific farming in Canada upon a broad basis. Under the Conservative : regime the Department of Agriculture W‘was presided over by a lawyer for a ‘_mumber of years, and for a time by a â€" brewer. It was left for Sir Wilfrid Laurier to set a better example by his " emorce of a practical farmer. That whoice, as all have seen, has been miore than justified. The value of rural property which was very low before 1896, has increased very much, and the business of farming nas inâ€" creased amazingly. One of the great marvels of the period is the way in which Canadian products of all kinds have increased in the British markets, our butter, cheese, bacon and apples especially having won their way there by skillful direction, by the provision of suitable transportation, and wisely directed advertising. When the Laurier administration éame into power the agricultural proâ€" ducts of the United States dominated %he British markets, because of betâ€" ter transportation facilities and the better reputation generally of United States products. Australia and New Zealand were better known than we were. Figures show that all round we have made enormous strides _ in the exports ofâ€"all farm products durâ€" ing the past ten or cleven years, and much of that progress redounds _ to the credit of the Minister of Agriculâ€" ture and his able lieutenants. The total exports, for instance, of Canaâ€" dian Agricultural products from Canâ€" ‘ada during the twelve years of Conâ€" servative rule, 1885 to 1896, amountâ€" ed to $531,512,525, while during the twelve years of Liberal rule, 1897 to 1908, they had increased to the enâ€" ormous figure of $1,106,237,882, or more than double. A good deal of this wondetful showing is due to the extension of our farming area, but a great deal also is due to the improveâ€" ment of our farming and transportaâ€" tion methods. In many other _ ways ‘the farmers of Canada have reason to ,"' grateful for the administration of the Department of Agriculture durâ€" ‘&ng the past twelve years. . Another thing for which Mr. Sydney â€" Fisher deserves high renown, and for which "he will receive the thanks of his time and posterity, is his work for genâ€" eral education, especially in this provâ€" "Ance. It was he who inaugurated the â€" recent campaign on bchalf of elemenâ€" tary education in the Province _ of Quebec and brought home especially to the people in the rural parts and smaller towns the needs of such eduâ€" ~â€"eation in a way they had not seen before. â€" In a war of crimination such &s the present clectoral contest has %00 largely been, Mr. Fisher‘s honot has not been attacked; neither has his ability been challenged. A governâ€" ment that contains such a man must have much to its general as well as â€" specific credit.

Items of Interest.â€"Sekiom in the past in this section has an election been preceded by such unusual qwietâ€" ness and apparent lack of interest on the part of sqgme of the _ electors. No public meetings of any â€" account have been held in the interests _ of either of the political parties: North Perth, no doubt by its past records, has shown that it is quite a Conâ€", servative stronghold, and it is quite | probable that it will _ remain _ so when the final returns are â€" summed up on Monday evening the 26th. â€" We are living in hopes of having the rural free delivery of mail inauguratâ€" ed in this section ere long. The majority of farmers we believe will hail the coming of this latest great convenience with _ much satisfaction, and which should be a source . of 'increased interest in farm life as the farmer can have a daily paper every lday instead of two of three _ every other day and besides making a trip after night to the post office. â€" With such modern conveniences as. rural mail delivery, telephone, etc., _ there should be and no doubt will be a great tendency to keep the young peoâ€" ple on.the farm and raise the occupaâ€" . tion of farming from its already honâ€" orable position to a still more lofty position among the various occupaâ€" tions in life, for we believe "there is nothing too good for the farm@r.‘"‘â€" The majority of farmers _ are busy ploughing, which is rather a most laborious task for both man _ and _ beast. Some are engaged in the makâ€" ing of applebutter, most farmers hayâ€" ing about enough apples _ for their our use. â€" Liarge Potatoe.â€"Some immense speâ€" cimens of potatoes have been _ disâ€" covered in this section and successfulâ€" ly unearthed. Mr. Thomas â€" Saiter has a potatoe which measures 18 inâ€" ches in circumference one way, and 15 inches the other. For any ordinary sized family one such potatoe would be sufficient for a meal were it equalâ€" ly divided. Personal.â€"We are pleased to _ reâ€" port that Herbert, son of Rev. and Mrs. Chas.

Rheumatism comes from poisâ€" onous acid in the hlood. . The pains may be started by _ cold weather, damp _ weather or by keen winds& There is only one way to cure rheuâ€" matism. It must be treated thtough the blood. All the limiments . and tubbing, and _ soâ€"called _ electrical tubbing, and _ soâ€"called electrical treatment in the world will not cure rheumatism. The acid that causes the disease must be driven out . of the blood and the blood enriched and 'purifled. It is because Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills make new, red blood that 43.2t. from New .Germany to K they have cured thousands of ‘cases of theumatism after all other treatâ€" ment has failed. As a proof of what Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills will do even in the most severe cases of rheumaâ€" tism, the case of Mr. David Carrol, a well known furniture dealer of Picâ€" tou, N.S., may be cited. . Mr. Carâ€" roll saysâ€"‘"I have been a most seâ€" vere sufferer from rheumatism, _ and in the hope that some other poot sufferer may find relief from my ¢xâ€" perience I gladly write you â€"of the benefit I bave received from Dr. Wiiliams‘ Pink Pills. The trouble setâ€" tled in my shoulders and down . my sides and at times I was quite unâ€" able to raise my arm. I was atâ€" tended by a doctor, but as I did not appear to be getting any better I sent for a soâ€"called electric belt for which I paid $40. It did not do me any good and ther I tried anâ€" other remedy but withoutl any bet-| ter results. A friet@ asked me to. try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and I gotb three boxes, by the time I had used them all I found the stufiness and pain less severe, and I got _ anâ€" other half dozen boxes. When I had taken these every syniptom of the trouble had disappeared and in the two years that have since passed I have had no return of the trouble. I believe there is no other medicine equal â€" to Dr. WilHiams‘ Pink Pills or â€" curing this most painful trowâ€" kk and 1 have recommended . the ills to others who have been beneâ€" fitted by their use."
