LIVING IN TIE STONE AGE.
A New Eskimo Tribe Has
Just Been Found.
ALL DEAD TO THE WORLD

They Live Just as They Did When
They Emerated From, Nobody
Knows Where-They Speak an Un-
known Dialect-Remarkable People.
On n big island in Hudson's Bay n
hitherto unknown tribe of Eskimo has
been found.
Whalcrs discovered them, and the
authorities at the Museum of Natural
History in New York, hearing the
news, sent Captain c. Cromer to in.
vestigate them.
Until the last few months these peo.
pie had never seen Il white man. The
island which they inhabit is called
Southampton Island, and is almost rs
large as the State of Maine. II is mt
the northwestern end of Hudson's
Bay For centuries this tribe has not
had the slightest communication with
other Eskimo. When discovered they
were still living in the stone age. and
knew no metals until they were intro
duced within year by visiting whitl.
ers, and to-day they live just as they
did when they first emigrated-from
no one knows where. Their residence
probably antedates the discovery of
America by Columbus
They speak dialect different from
that of any other known tribe. Their
huts are built of the skulls and jaws
of whales, covered over with skins of
animals. Snow huts are the fashion
among other Eskimo.
In the middle of their primitive
dwelling stands the stone lamp raised
n little from the ground) which lights
the home, heats it, cooks the food,
serves for melting snow drying
clothes and the perfecting Of some of
their weapons tnd implements.
Among the Greenland Eskimo this
lamp is followed out of soapstone, but
on Southampton Island the lamp is
made of Il fiat piece of limestone,
around the edge of which narrow
pieces of limestone are glued Their
pots are made of the same material,
one slab serving as the bottom and
four others for the ends and sides of
the queerest square pot ever made.
The glue is made of decr's blood,
grease and fish roe. one glance at the
inside of one of theSe pots lined with
this pitchy mass is enough to take
away Il white mans appetite for a
week.
Into the limestone lamp, which Is an
oval, a foot or so wide and about two
inches deep, is put oil from whale blub-
Der, The wick is II piece of moss. The
pot is placed over the lamp on II sup
port, on which hangs Il piece of blub-
Der which melts from the heat and
feeds the lamp continually.
The dress of these people also differs
in design from that of other Eskimo.
The womens clothing is made of the
skin of the reindeer
The members of this tribe live to-
gcther by fishing and hunting. the
whale being the chief article of diet
The bone harpoons they use are tipped
arrows and spears, The ingenuity
with which they utilize the whale
bone is most surprising. Cups and buc
kets are made of it by bending il
round and sewing on the bottoms
Whalebone serves them for weapons
and implements Of utility, They ever
press it into service for making to
bogganlike sleds. Some of their sledg
cs are of walrus tusks as runners

Range Problems.

That the carrying capacity of the
common ranges is rapidly becoming re
stricted to an alarming degree has long
been evident to practical observers of
the situation. says The Breeders Ga
zette. The causes for this condition
are as evident as the results, but un
fortunately thus far no solution is
available. The common grazing areas
have been restricted by encroachments
Of frontier settlers. In some instances
waters recently available for live stock
have been made to do service In irriga-
ton, while reservations for parks and
forest preserves have not been with
out influence to intensity the difficult
ties of the situation. But more seri-
ously important than all these, is the
fact that persistent close grazing has
resulted In diminishing-and in some
localities completely eradicating-large
proportions of the annual grasses de.
pendent upon seeding for their repro
duction that formerly covered these
ranges. and more acres are now re
quired for the maintenance of grazing
animals than formerly. while fewer
acres are available.

Strong Points of the Mule,

The extensive purchases Of mules
which the British government has
been making recently for shipment to
South Africa invite, reference to the
animals capabilities and disposition,
says the London Live Stock Journal.
Here it is from the hand of a man who
appears to have had large opportuni-
ties of c%ultiyating its acquaintance:
"No animal is less obstinate than a
mule. They are most tractable and
obedient and capable of an almost in
credible amount Of work. A mule be-
gins work at 4 years old and goes on
till 40 or IS years old. Whether it is for
blowing, reaping or moving machine,
for carting Of all descriptions, there is
the shapely, powerful, active and in
telligent animal, prepared to do his
best" In point Of fact, the mule is
like any other animal. much what the
g~entleness or reverse of his rearer and
breaker makes him.

Plentiful Feed.

Every cattle man who can possibly
do so should feed his stock enough this
winter to carry them through until
spring in at least as good condition as
they are In now. Too many make the
mistake Of putting off feeding too long
and permit their cattle to become weak
and thin before the feeding is com
menced. To accomplish satisfactory
results It must be begun early In the
season. After the animals have lost
flesh and become weakened by expo
sure they cannot resist the damaging
influence OF the later storms without
further injury no matter how liberal
tile feeding then may be. To keep
them vigorous and In good flesh from
the start should be the rule. Such d
method economies feed while produc-
ing the best results.--Liy6 Stock.

Swedish Ponies,

The Swedish ponies are among the
best in the world for work in cold eli
mates where good forage is not to be
had. says the London Live Stock Jour-
nal. They stand from 10 to Is hands
in height and are very heavily built
for their size. They have splendid feet
and limbs, and it is said that greasy
heels and filed legs are unknown
among them. These small horses are
chiefly used for the saddle, animals of
a larger breed being preferred for the
wheeled traffic in summer and the
sleighs in winter. A good horse has
been known to trot at the rate Of 18
miles IN hour in a sleigh. Before we
accept that record, however, further
information concerning the course and
condition of the snow would be desira-

lar winter institution in both Norway
and Sweden.

Cost of Hogs.

On a farm with reasonably good
buildings and a clover pasture the cost
of a gain of a pound of live weight on
a hog up to $50 pounds is not very
much in excess of 2 cents. To this
must be added the interest on the value
Of the brood sow, the cost Of her keep,
the risk Of accident, the cost Of the
grass, of the care and the prices or be-
low.
Under these circumstances, says
Wallace's Farmer, the price Of hogs
will depend largely on the price of
corn and the freedom of hogs from the
ravages of disease. When a partial
failure Of the corr crop occurs and the
price runs up to from 80 to 40 cents on
the farm, the immediate effect is to
crowd the hog stock of the country on
the market and depress the price.
When a large portion Of the hog stock
is wiped off by cholera, the immediate
effect at the beginning Of the disease
is to crowd the hogs on the market and
depress the price, the after effect Of
which is to enhance the price by Gre
ating a scarcity in the supply. f.

southern raised cattle. The natural
method of communication Of this germ
is by of the Texas fever tick.
shaped much like a black spider, which
abounds in the south. The disease can
also be induced a%rtifcially in suscepti-
bic cattle by hypodermic injection of
infected blood taken from southern
cattle. When a susceptible animal is
inoculated with infected blood, the
germs thus introduced attack the red
blood corpuscles and destroy them in
large numbers. This weakens the vital
force of the animal and produces a
large amount of broken down waste
tissue, which must be eliminated from
the system.
Such a condition demands increased
action on the part Of the tissues pro-
ducing the red blood corpuscles and
larger capacity for carrying off the
waste materials through the liver, kid
neys, spleen and bowels. If the system
of the animal is able to successfully
cope with these ~exigencies, it will
thereafter be immune to the disease
and able to resist the action of the
fever germ.
1t appears that, so far as experiments
have yet shown, the only way of pro-
ducing immunity is through an actual
attack Of the disease in as mild a form
as possible from either infestation with
ticks or by incubation with infected
blood. 1t is thought that southern
raised cattle become immune while
calves by repeated slight attacks Of the
fever, caused by tick infestation.
The Missouri station first made tests
with 81 head Of young calves by the
tick infestation method, extending
owe three seasons. Several Of the
animals that had been well infested
with ticks at the north were sent
south and proved to be immune. But
on account of the necessity of main
tanning Guaranteed pastures for
using these ticks at the north and the
trouble of hand feeding calves from
nonimmune cows this method will
probably not come into general use.
Blood incubation tests were begun at
the same time and have thus far prov
ed to be more practical.
The supply animal may be either
southern raised or one immunized arti-
fcially. The blood is taken from the
jugular vein Of the supply animal and
collected in a clean vessel, stirring un-
til the scent is removed. The blood
is then transferred to a h%ypodermic
syringe and injected in proper quaint
ties under the skin at the neck or
shoulder Of the animals desired to be
inoculated. All instruments used in
this work are thoroughly sterilized.
and the blood is used while fresh. The
best plan is to give a comparatively
small dose at first and repeat If neces,
sary. ~. r

No Advantage Whatever Except an
&. Original Cost.
Over in England where every branch
Of husbandry has been carried to a
high state Of perfection and where
focks and herds have been kept upon
the same farms for hundreds Of years
one may travel for days without COM
ing across a scrub animal. Here in
America. the country of grandest pos
sibilities, the scrub is the rule and the
pure bred animal the exception, says
Howard Fl. Keim in The National
Stockman. Over an area Of thousands
of acres of this rich garden land one
may find here and there a lone man
and occasionally only a community Of
breeders of pure bred or pedigreed
stock. Why this should be is a hard
matter to conjecture.
Only a few days ago a bright young
man came to the writer to sell him his
corn crop, saying: 81 am tired of farm
ing. and l want to sell my corn and
my mule team and go away. l am
tired and sick of this way of farm
ing" Then we asked him if he liked
stock, and his answer was that he liked
any kind of nice stock, especially
sheep, but his father, who owned the
farm and for whom he was working it
ION shares" would not invest anything
in stock and would lend no encourage
ment to his son to do SO. After a long
time pleading with, him to keep his
corn and team and try to get a small
start of fine stock he went away and
the same day left for parts un-
KNOWN" driven from home by his IA
ther, who had a notion that the boy
would just as well raise corn to sell
and not be fooling with stock all the
time. s-
We have long maintained that it is
as cheap to keep pure bred stock, espe-
cially sheep, and even cheaper than to
keep scrubs after the initial cost of
starting. The younger members Of
the firm will take great pleasure in the
increase of the 1ocks and will cultivate
such a love for the old farm that,
though sundered far by circumstances,
the lingering lights of happy childhood
days among the pretty lambs Of the
pure bred t1ocks on the old homestead
will be memory's brightest pictures.
