dent General of Indian Affairs, be Ur,
W. 110. Graham, Indian Commissioner,
In keeping with the generally pros -
porous eonditione which prevailed
throughout Canada during 1928, In=
AItitans on reserves in the three Prairie
Provinces continued their steady pro-
' gross toward a condition of seibsup-
port and independence. Very sada'
factory reports have been received on
,the advancement made by the natives
in their various activities but the most
striking is that made in agriculture.
Notwithstanding severe losses suffer-
ed through inclement weather, the
total yield of grain from Indian farms
in the West was estimated at over one
million bushels (the greater part of.
which was wheat) while conspicuous
successes were also scored in cattle
raising and.in other farm activities..
According to recent reports of the
Department of Indian Affairs the In-
dians in irtanito%la, Saskatchewan, and
Alberta have under cultivation 105,000
Sores of land, having increased their
total during the past summer by break-
ing 0,000 acres of new land and sum-
mer• -fallowing 33,000 acres. The
major part of this large acreage is
sown to grain. Gardeuing is being
more generally practised and many
Of the reserves bout some fine plots
of vegetables.
The cattle herds of the prairie In-
dians are among the best in Western
Canada due to the fact that unusual
care ha; been taken by officers of the
Department in the :selection of the
Hires, which in most cease are paid
for from the Indians own money. The
herds now number. 22,500 head, which
includes an increase this year of ap-
proximately 5,000 calves. During 1928
the Indians sold beef cattle to the
value of approximately $184,000 and
In addition they provided beef for
thein own requirements valued at
$40,000.
The 'tigh standard of the Indians'
herds is shown in the success of en-
tries made at feeder and stocker
shows during the summer and an-
tumn of 1929. First prize for the hest
ear of steers, Shorthorn- breed, and
second prize in the class for carload
lots of three-year-old steers of any

In ipereasing the attention given to
this phase of agriculture. in -north-
ern Alberta and in Saskatchewan and
Manitoba the cattle' are stabled or
put in shed shelters and fed hay dur-
ing the winter months, which means,
that a large quantity of hay and green
feed must be cut each summer. Dur-
ing
uring the past year 70,000 tons of feed
was cut and stacked for use during
the winter season.
Good, heavy horses are rapidly re-
placing the pony type among the In-
dians of the West. Nearly all of the.
!arming Indians own fine work horses,
of which there are about 8,000 on the
different prairie reserves. There are.
about 15,000 of the pony type of
horse. Horses to the value of over
$10,000 were sold from the various
reserves during the season of 1928.
More interest is also being shown in
the raising of poultry and pigs,

interest is being shown in every

measure to the number of young
Indians graduating from the various
echools who are taking up farming.

Thoumande of mothers state that

Concerning the use of the Tablets
Mrs, Donat Ploudre, Tingwlek, Que.,

for Baby's Own Tablets. They are
the only medicine I have ever given
my two little ones and I am glad to
state that the Tablets' have always
kept them in perfect health, I feel
so safe with the Tablets that I al-

West Indian Federation
Eingston, Jamaica, Mall: Just at
present it is doubtful if federation
would bo feasible; there is not ye
suffielent community of interest in the
various colonies Tho recently con,
eluded West Indica Conference has
done a great deal to improve the
situation; and conferences to be
in the future will do more. The
ground is being prepared; proposals
have been drafted for unified legisla-
tion relating to tariffs and shipping;
these West Indies today are more in-
clined to speak with a common voice
than they wore twenty year:. ago. All
these things will have their influence
on the political and economic develop-
ments of the immediate future; but
many doubt whether the present gen-
eration will see the advent of anything
approaching Dominion status. There
are cross -currents observable here,
one of them being the tendency to re-
gard the Eastern and Western groups
of colonies as having interests that
cannot easily, if at all, be harmonized..

Some Remarkable Parallels to
the Case of "Colonel
• Barker"
The case of "Colonel Barker, D.S.
O.;" who confessed, recently, to being
a woman who had masqueraded for
six years as a man, is very far from
being unique. It would not be hard
to fill a book with precedents. Both
our Army and our Navy have pro-
duced their share oe them, writes
Francis Grihbie in .The London Re-
feree.
There was, for instance, ?firs. Welsh,
who fought and was wounded in the
battle of Ramillies. Her sex was dis-
covered in hospital. After her recov-
ery she was given the post of regi
mental coot.
In the churchyard of St. Nicholas
Church, Brighton, is a tombstone to
the memory of Phoebe Hesseil, who
died a hundred years ago at the age of
103. In order net to be separated
from her soldier husband she enlisted
and served for nearly twenty years
with the British Army in the West In-
dies, and on the Continent, being
wounded at the battle of Fontenoy.
Then there was Mary Ann Talbot,
believed to have been a daughter of
Lord William Talbot, Steward of His
Majesty's Household. She served as
a powder monkey under Lord Howe
on the glorious first of June; end she
subsequently became an actress and
played Juliet at Covent. Garden.
Still more famous is tha case of Or.
James Barry, whose name heads the
list of Inspectors -General of Hospitals
in the 1805 Ai'my List. Dr, Barry died
in July of that year, and it was then
officially reported to the Horse Guards
that the doctor wee a woman,

Public Ownership in Australia
Harold Cox in the London Financial
Times: The Australian State Rail-
ways have for years been losing money
heavily. The loss now amounts to
several millions a 'ear. Again, the
losses on State shipping have been so
serious that the Commonwealth Gov-
ernment has roh-etantly found itself
compelled to abandon its shipping ven-
ture, and the ships have been sold off.
The many smaller State enterprises
on which Australia has embarked also
show heavy losses. These definite re-
sults fully justify the D'ickham Com-
mission in their strong recommenda-
tion to Australia to loop for prosper-
ity to private enterprise, facing its
own risks in the hope of securing pro-
fits, rather than to State interference
with trade and industry,
