SIBERIA HAS GREAT FUTURE.
Its Soil Rich and 1t Has Vast Timber
and Mineral Resources.

The vast area of Siberia is as yet
scarcely touched commercially, when
We consider the richness and capability
of production of its soil and its con-
stantly growing population.

Siberia, the yield in a good year is TWO
or three times that of bad one.
Siberia's exports of dairy products
are rapidly increasing and have a most
promising future. In 1898 1000 buckets
Of butter containing thirty-six pounds,
were sent as an experiment to the Lon
don market 10000 buckets OF butter
week were sent thither in 1901. The
pasturage in this butter producing re-
gion, which lies chiefly in the district OF
Tomsk, Is 50 good that there IS seven
per cent of butter in the milk.
In 1902 a Danish firm was the first to
export sailed beef, mutton and pork
from Siberia to London. Its success
showed that Siberian mutton was good
enough to compete with the best Ice
landic mutton and may in future be-
come an important factor in the meat
markets of Western Europe.
