EDUCATING THE INDIAN.
Difficulties the Student Facies After He
Has' Left C31Ieye.
The eouditions to which Iu'st 13'iiar
students return are bard, far bar.3t•r
than the average easterner tan reerne .
Many of the reservations are 1. ng
tames from railroads. so that sus plies
are bard to get ae well as exl'ensive,
while in phew. water is a real luxury.
The standards or the community must
also be taken into consider -to -ion. and in
all too many localities the white people
Iiving near are not of a type to prove
either helpful or elevating. With all
these didieulties. and many, many
more. we expect far more of the Indian
than we would of a white student who
had enjoyed equal advantages.
A n'bite boy who has been in school
until he is perhaps twenty and in that
time has had to master in addition to
the usual studies a new language and
accept an entirely strange system of
living is not expected- to raise the
standards of his home community to
any very great extent. Tile Indian is.
He must not only have acquired a
trade and be able to do skillful work,
but he must speak English well enough
to act as interpreter, understand the
Bible and teach in Sunday school, as
well as be prepared to advise in the
councils of his people regarding various
phases of their legal standing and land
questions.
And when be is unable to fulfill all
these requirements we hear that In-
dian education is a failure.—Southern
Workman.
Masked Women.
Upper class Swahili women wear en.
rious masks, which are made of leather
and beads in a wooden frame. The
mask is derived from the traditional
usage of Moslem women, who must
keep their faces covered in the pres-
ence or men. For sereral centuries
Arab traders have frequented this east
African coast. and to their influence
are due most of the civilized customs
found today among the natives of the
district. The clothing worn by these
prosperous dames is of silk; their shoes
are partly of silver, and they wear
much silver jewelry. The Moslems in
Zanzibar, ly the way. are less fanati-
cally strict about religious usages than
their brethren in Morocco and Turkey.

A Big Birdcage.
A very peculiar institution In the
New York zoo is what is known as
"the flying birdcage." This magnifi-
cent aviary 1s the largest of its kind
in the world, being 55 feet high, 72
feet wide and 150 feet long. Large
oak and other trees grow in this cage,
and the birds live within its wire net-
ting bounds in the utmost freedom.
The frame of the cage is built of iron
pipes, which are covered over with
thin meshed netting.

WEED SEEDS IN FEED
The danger of spreading weeds
through feeding dirty grain to horses
and other stock is not sufficiently
realized. A farmer who feeds his
horse oats containing seeds of wild
oats and mustards will also find
, these plants growing in patches all
over his field, wherever the horse's
droppings have fallen.
Large numbers of weed seeds are
put on the land with manure. Many
weed seeds pass uninjured through
the digestive tract of farm animals,
while others become mixed with the
manure and offal from the stables
through handling grain and other
feeds. When manure is piled and al-
lowed to heat the vitality of most of
the weeds is destroyed; but when
drawn to the field from the stable, or ROOTS FOR HORSES.
not left long enough in the pile to
become well rotted, manure is one of
the most important means of weed dis-
persal. It is especially dangerous when
secured from town or city stables where
dirty grain or hay is fed. Grain con-
taminated with weed seeds should not
be brought on a faun even for feed un-
til it has been crushed cm ground so as
to destroy the vitality of the weed
seeds.

AT THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL
Our experience with mangels as a
feed for horses has decided us in the
opinion that nothing better can be
found if proper regard is held for the
proportion of these roots to the entire
ration. A good sized mangel (8 to 10
ibs) night and morning never produced
any ill effects, and the horses showed
evidence of their liking for this feed by
refusing to start on the oasts in their
mangers until the mangels had been
given to them first. These horses did
an average of three or four hours' work
per day during the Winter, at which
season the mangels were fed with the
idea of substituting for the small
amount of pasture which had been
allowed the horses almost daily during
the Summer. "
A farm horse, which has several
periods of rest in the stable, eating dry
food only during this tinter such as hay,
straw and cats, will enjoy a small daily
ration of mangels. This addition would
not be so necessary, however, if the
horse eats hay only. and no oats,
Mangeis assist digestion and the cir-
culation of the blood in horses which eat
a large quantity of oats, becoming
thereby somewhat heated and enervat-
ed by this exciting diet. In this case
carrots also are particularly recommend-
ed for keeping the animal in good
health.
Carrots are nearly as watery as man-
gers, but they contain a strengthenit,g
principle which is particularly useful
for the horse. They niake the coat
glossy, and, by facilitating the diges-
tion, increase the weight of the body to
an extent that is noticeable even after
a few weeks only of this feeding.

BEEF RAISING IN CANADA.
There has been issued at Ottawa a
new edition of Bulletin No. 13 of the
Live Stock 1 ranch, "Beef Raising in
Canada." It is available on application
to the Publications Branch of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Upwards of
one hundred pages, and nearly as many
half -tone illustrations, conveying
valuable information are given.
Among the contributors are many of
the best informed and most experienced
beef raisers and experimenters in
Canada.
A section is devoted to descriptive
accounts of the various breeds
of beef cattle raised in this
country, while practical information on
breeding, rearing, housing, and market-
ing is also contained.
In dealing with the finished steer it
is rightly remarked that to succeed the
requirements of the purchaser must be
complied with. The standard of the
beef market has changed greatly in
recent years. The bullock that com-
mands the highest price is a compact,
web finished animal weighing not more
than 1,500 lbs. on foot and if he weighs
only 1,200 lbs. he will fetch the top
figure, provided he has the form,
quality and finish. Even the thousand
pound "baby beef" is looked for by the
best buyers on this side of the Atlantic,
but such cattle are not shipped abroad.
The change is greatly to the advantage
of the producer, as other things being
equal, the younger the animal goes to
market, the less is the cost of food and
the greater the profit to the producer.
To secure delicate flavour and tender-
ness a certain proportion of fat is
necessary and this should be incorpor-
ated with the flesh or lean meat rather
than appear only as a covering to the
muscles. The great secret in producing
a carcass of beef is to treat an animal
in such a way that the fat grows with
it during the entire period of its life
time. It is unfortunately the too
common practice of Canadian beef
raisers to produce all the fat that an
animal carries in the course of a few
months. Much of the fat put on in
this way is deposited on the outside of
the carcass; it is largely wasted, as it
is useful for little else than tallow.
The carcass that dresses out showing
specksand streaks of fat throughout
the lean tissue commands the highest
price. The only way to be sure of
prime quality is to maintain the animal
in gocd condition by a system of liberal
feeding from birth to maturity. Then
the finishing period is comparatively
short, and the carcass produces the
highly desirable marbled beef.
