FatteuiuQ Beef Cattle.


Prof. W. A. Henry, whose reputa-
ton as an authority on cattle feeding
cannot be doubted, suggests that
American cattle can be fattened upon
must less grain than our feeders gen
orally give them. He says that many
States give to their fattening stock
from twenty to thirty pounds, and
sometimes thirty-five pounds a day Of
corn meal, while in England and Scot
land they seldom use more than six
or eight pounds day. They give with
this from fifty to one hundred pounds
Of sliced roots, usually rutabagas, four
to five pounds of straw and from five
to ten pounds Of hay. They claim to
send as good meat to market as we
can furnish them, which we may not
doubt, but we are not sure that we
can grow the turnips as the corn
which we feed here, and whether beef
animals fed upon turnips would stand
transportation as well, either alive or
as dressed meat, as those fattened on
corn. Professor Henry thinks ensilage
should take the place in our stock
feeding that roots do in England, and
we do not doubt that a judicious use
of ensilage or some other succulent
food with the corn meal might induce
better digestion so that animals might
be as we'll fattened with less
amount Of grain.

AZTEC RACE NOT DEAD.
Descendants of Ancient Mexicans Still
in Valley of Nahaun.

Descendants of Ancient Mexicans Still
in Valley of Nahaun.
To the mind Of the general reader
the term Aztec conveys the idea of a
more or less misty, extinct greatness;
the idea Of a great body Of aboriginal
Americans Of mysterious origin, who at
the time Of the advent of the Spanish
had reached the acme Of power and
native civilization, and then unexplain-
edly very rapidly and completely van
ished.
These problems-namely, the origin
or derivation, the physical type and
physical destiny Of the Aztecs, to clear
which history alone proves insufficient
have been and remain prominently
the subjects of anthropological investi-
cation, and through these investiga-
lions, in which the anthropologicaI de-
partment Of the American Museum Of
Natural History, New York, is taking
an important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope
that in not a very far future but a
little concerning the Aztecs will be left
in obscurity. One result Of these in
vestgations is the knowledge that the
Aztecs Of the time Of the conquest are
still represented by numerous pure
blooded survivors,
They are scattered, but still clearly
recognizable by q student Of the peo-
pie, in the suburbs of the city and in
practically all the smaller towns in the
Valley of Mexico. From the valley
they can be traced southwark; they are
numerous in the districts of Anne
cameca, and they occupy, though prob
ably largely mixed with the Nahuan
branch Of Tlahuitecs, entire villages
near and in the mountainous country
between Cuautla and Cuernavaca, in
the State of Morelos In this last
named region there are in particular
two large villages, Tetelcingo and
Cuautepec, in which the Aztec-Nahuan
descendants not only speak the pure
Aztec language, and know but little
Spanish, but they also preserve their
ancient dress and ancient way of build
ing their dwellings. In botf these vii
lagos the natives are almost free from
mixture with whites
To estimate the number of pure
blood Aztec Nahuan descendants still
in existence is very difficult. The Az
tee language is still used by at least a
million, probably more, Of the natives

Der now found here and though many of the species that are now numerous are of little value except to the stud eHt of natural history, some, like the meadow lark and robin are more than welcome and there is no reason why others even more useful might not be colonized to the satisfaction of every body. While the meadow lark and blackbirds are killed and eaten by some they are each too small to be con- sidered much of a game bird and not everybody likes to eat them. The game hunters therefore are confined in the bird line, almost entirely to quail which can be hunted only under re- strictions, white wings, pigeons and ducks and geese in season.
 The Chinese pheasant on the other hand is said to be equal in flavor to d wild turkey or prairie chicken and to game lovers preferable to tame chick ems. The birds are also of good size being fully as large as a prairie chick en, of a good game flavor and a game bird in every sense running swiftly and flying like an arrow. The phea- sant is also a very pretty bird and is often seen mounted in the collections of taxidermists and in museums. The cock has long tail feathers, is beauti- fully colored and the hen, too, is an attractive fowl. In size they do not differ greatly from a medium sized game chicken.
 They were brought from the orient to the north coast many years ago and liberated in the timbered country and low hills and it is said they are now found in great quantities in Washing ton and Oregon.
 It is suggested by one who has made some inquiry that several pairs might be secured for a hundred or hundred and fifty dollars, and that they multi ply rapidly. IL is also said their eggs may be secured and matched under or dinary hens the only drawback being that they are susceptible of easy ta1n- ing when young and if raised in quan- titles on farms they might be hard to drive into the wilds, preferring to live where home was already provided
 It is thought that the better plan would be to buy a few pairs of the birds and turn them loose along the river somewhere and when the legisla- ture meets next winter have the game law amended to fully protect them for few years till they could get start In the meantime if the eggs can be easily secured it would not be q bad idea to experiment with matching them and turning them loose as soon as big enough to hunt for their own feed.
 It is an experiment that would no. cost a great deal, and can do no harm and if successful would soon fill this countryp up with birds that would fur nish the hunter rare sport and the epicure with a popular delicacy.

CHINESE PHEASANTS
A Proposed Enterprise for. Talking
 Them an Arizona Game Bird.

Il is not unlikely that movement will be inaugurated at an early day to stock Arizona with that rare game bird that is now plentifully found in the Puget sound country. and known as the Chinese pheasant. The matter has been suggested by a member of the Phoenix gun club and it is not out of place to say that it was previously suggested in these columns a couple of years ago. Though no plan has been worked out it is proposed to start a public subscription where those inter ested may contribute whatever amount they feel like to a fund for this pur- pose, presumably to be expended by q committee of the gun club in the event that organization takes hold of the matter.
 While there is a lot of game in Ari- zona of certain kinds. there cannot be too great a variety either for the pro- fessional sportsman. the professional hunler, the traveller or anybody else interested in nature. her attractions or the resources of the country.

A NEW BEVERAGE.


 United States Consul Ayme writes from Para a recommendation of Bra zilian beverage, yerba mate tea, which is prepared from the roasted and pull verised leaves of an evergreen forest tree
 Yenba mate is largely consumed in Paraguay and in the Brazilian state, where it is made It is very extensively consumed in Argentina, in Uruguay and, to a less extent. in Chilli. There is a small consumption in other states of Brazil a very small quantity is eX- ported to Europe. and still less 10 the United States and Canada Estimated eSports may reach 45, coo to 5000 tons annually.
 Yerba mate has a peculiar bitter smoky taste, which is usually consid- cred unpleasant, and this has largely operated to prevent it's more extensive use as a beverage. This smoky bitter ness is chiefly due to the rude method employed for drying the leaves, and it seems likely that improved methods of drying the mate on iron or copper pans would give much more delicate and agreeable product. Mate is said to have all the best qualities of coffee and tea and is a stimulating health beverage, without the disadvantages of either. It Is more gentle stimulant than either, and Is said to be much used in the hospitals of Paris.
