The Pioneer today presents to
it's readers an article from the
pen of Professor Thomas Shaw,
who is the northwest editor of
the Orange Judd Farmer and
who at one time held the posi-
uion of Professor Of Animal Hus-
bandry at the State Agricultural
school. .- ~-'. q.
Professor Shaw has had a wide
experience in his line of work
and is we'll and favorably known
to many Of our readers, having
conducted a mum Der Of farmers
Institutes throughout the north
.ern part of the State. /
The article in it's entirety has
been carefully written and has
especial bearing on Beltrami
county.
That the country northward
from Bemidji in Beltrami and
Clearwater counties is we'll adapt
ed by nature to the gro wing of
sheep, especially for the city
markets, is very evident from
theIn ature of the soil and the char
acter of the productions of the
same. The best soil on which to
raise sheep is that which is rol-
ling in character, and which is
possessed Of good natural drain
age. In both respects the land
northward from Bemidji exactly
fills these REQ uire ments.
The food that can be grown is
very suitable for the growing Of
sheep as will be evident from
the list of crops now submitted.
The natural adoption of the soil
for growing grasses and clovers
is of high order, because sum-
mer grazing can be abundantly
provided. The sandy loam soil
has the highest adoption for
growing winter rye. Winter rye
sown in the fall would furnis b.
grazing two weeks sooner than
other grasses, By the time that
these become abundant, the pas.
turing of the rye could cease if
so desired, and there would still
be time for it to grow into good
crop Of grain.
F'or winter feeding, the grower
could have an abundance Of clover
hay, than which there is no better
fodder for sheep. That from the
common red and Alsike varieties
would be the best. He could
have peas and oats grown toget-
her and cut just when ripenir g
In these he would have good
fattening food. He could have

would do this in fine form. From
ten to fifteen head may be thus
finished on an acre. The rape
may be sown broadcast at the
rate of three pounds Of seed per
acre, seventy days before the
grazing is wanted. In the area
referred to, the wool Of the sheep
alone would more than pay the
cost Of keeping them, leaving all
the increase for profit.

A Puzzle for Henry.

well, men Johnnie Shaw graduated
in grammar this morning! Anyhow,
we've passed." Henry Forrest an
nounced, proudly, flinging his cap at a
chair and making a short cut for the
table.
His father looked up from his plate.
Better go back and graduate over
again." he remarked, dryly, and from
the ripple of amusement which follow
ed, Henry OWNED that there must have
been some trlfling error in his English.
1t was pity, he reflected, and espe.
clally since, he had just discovered,
the minister was dining with them
that day.
Henry makes me think of boy In
our old home town." said the minister,
genially. HE ran away from school
and went fishing once, and at the end
of glorious day he carved his full
name, Theodore James Branch on an
old willow down by the river, and un.
der it he cut the date and the words,
Skipped School To-day
i've no doubt he felt very reckless
and independent when he did 1t, but
next afternoon, when he dragged a
crowd of us boys down there to show
off what he had done, some wise wag
had spoiled it all for him by adding,
under his inscription, the advice:

dore!'"

WOMEN OF ZANZIBAR.


They Usually Live in the Greatest
seclusion I'm the Daytime.
The Arab women of Zanzibar live in
great seclusion in the large white
houses, never going out in the daytime
from one years end to another, says
the Manchester Guardian. A little cook
ing and sweetmeat making is their only
recognized employment though some
few of them can do beautiful silk en-
broidery. To lie on their beds and be
famed by their slave girls is the usual
occupation Of the richer women.
If they want to visit their friends,
or, as Is more often the case, to per-
ambulate the town, they wait until 8
o'clock in the evening when gun Is
fired warning all Mohammedans that
1t is the fifth and last hour Of prayer ::
then they may go out. They are III
tirely enveloped In large mantle, aud
their faces are completely hidden by
very ugly gilt masks, with oblong Sits
for file eyes, and many of them wear
these even in the privacy Of their own
homes. Their other garments are trou-
sers and tunic reaching below the
knees, which is often embroidered and
trimmed with gold braid. They have
number Of gold and silver ornaments
nose rings and earrings, bracelets,
anklets and SO on.
They are very light in color, many
of them cream colored their features
are regular and good, and they have
dark eyes and stain their hands and
nails a reddish color with henna. If
they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained a
brick red, their slaves running by their
sides, but you generally meet than
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who carry enormous Ian
terms us big as a London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till In the morning, when another gun
is fired, proclaiming the first hour of
prayer. 1t is very awkward at times.
when you meet in the streets some of
these women whom you ought to knew,
and are greeted by them. You canuot
see their faces, 1t is not always easy
to recognize voice, and nothing would
offend them more than to ask them
| their names.

SILENCE CLUB OF PARIS.
Member. Do Not Talk Unless They
Have Something to Say.

Members Do Not Talk Unless They
Have Something to Say.
at Is not surprising that the first
year Of the Silence Club of Paris has
closed with such gratifying results that
the club may be said to have achieved
success In its decidedly unique sphere
of usefulness" remarked psycholo-
gist to Washington Star man.
81 look for similar clubs to be es-
tablished in this country among the
cult, us their foundation and purpose
is anything but Joke or of freakish
nature. The idea is new in this coun-
try, however, though the success of the
Paris Institution will give 1t an i'm
petus among the advanced thinkers
among us and those who have made
the interesting problem Of mental phil
osophy critical or a pastime study.
1.-THE rules of the society do not call
for absolute silence, but the members
are supposed not to talk unless they
have something to say. Chatter is alb
solutely tabooed. Each member pledges
himself to avoid noisy places and par
ticipation in public demonstrations. At
recent meeting the members declared
that since they had Joined the club
their nervous systems were in much
better condition than before they be-
came members.
"Of course such a club could not be
composed of the fair sex, even though
they were all devout believers in and
followers Of psychological teachings A
congregation composed of silent women
would be impossible of conception, and
while our fair sisters may experience
chagrin that they are to be shut out of
participating in any form of club life
among themselves that is also INDUCED
In by their brothers. this is one form
Of assembly that bars them out. Meth
-er would politicians be eligible for
membership, unless as a disciplinary
measure.
'The club Is based upon the sound
psychological principle of not doing
unnecessary things or calling the brain
cells into play by unnecessary thought.
In practical everyday life this princi-
pie is exemplified in the establishment
of retreats among certain Of the relig-
ious creeds to which members may re-
pair for meditation and rest, and in
medical circles 1t is shown In another
form in the so-called rest cure. IL one
wishes to enter into study Of mild
form Of this particular principle let
him consider the amount of wasted ell
ergy, physical and mental. that the av-
erage person each day expends In need
less talk and needless action; 1t will
be found to be prodigious.

the concentration OF force and the
elimination of waste energy. In hu-
man affairs generally every individual
