NO MORE TEPEES 49,
ON INDIAN RESERVE

Ponoka, Alta, Nov. 11.-Bobtail
Indian reserve has lost its tepees. No
longer do folks of Ponoka hear the
weird, far-away rumble of drums
Signalling the colorful ceremonies Of
tho twentieth century rednlan. Again
progress has exacted its toll. The re-

giant farm.
Two years ago the dominion gov
eminent purchased the reserve from
the Indians. It Was divided into
units of 214 acres and turned over to
twenty-seven soldier settlers at $12 ar
acre. These heroes of the battlefield
were unframed in agriculture. They
settled on the land last year. With a
bit of a grin they buckled into the
new work. Today they are refusing
offers Of $50 an acre. They have just
harvested a bumper crop from 1880
acres. Next spring the entire tract
will be under cultivation. Dairying
and other phases Of mixed farming
are being expanded.
The success of the twenty-seven
embryo farmers is similar to that Of

government enables those eligible to

applicants as to ability. energy and
moral character has brought high re-
suits. OF the $1,000 who have been

AT

SATISFACTORY
Royal Canadian Mounted
Police Official Finished
Long Inspection Trip.

OSAoWd, oHl., NOV. 11.-lnSpeCtOr
J. w. Phillips of the royal Canadian
mounted police has just returned here
after an inspection trip lasting four
along the coast of James Bay.
The expedition was mad in order to
investigate conditions among the in
habitants, mostly Indians and Eski-
mos. It was feared there. was a GER
tain amount of destituton. but In
spector Phillips reports things much
better than vas expected.
Throughout the summer there has
been an abundance Of fish, white
whales and seals along the coast, but
It Is very difficult to induce the Indi-
ans to exert themselves What is
wanted, says the inspector. is some
means Of getting them to take more
interest in life generally.
AT some points they a gained
for themselves the name Of "~c6asters"
spite of any inducement made to them
to 60 inland where fur bearing ami
mails are plentiful. They seem to pre-
fer to remain near the trading sta
tons looking for doles.
No restitution was found among
the $50 Cree Indians al Moose Fac
tory. Many Of them, says Inspector
Phillius, are we'll off as Indians go,
having ban accounts. gardens Of
their own and the opportunity of work
with the trading companies when they
want it. Whites and Indians alike
had been making home BREW" or
native beer. but the practice is be-
coming a thing Of the past.
Both the Hudson's Bay company
and the Reviflon Freres Fur Trading
company have given orders that IL

dismissed. 1t "a found hat there

and explained the law concerning this
practice, making 1t clear hat the
penalties would be strictly enforced.

lariy abundant lately. The Eskimos

they make good. The Indians here,
the report states. will claim they are
starving when they are only out Of
tobacco and have plenty Of meat, fish
n other goods. The use of .desti-
tute rations has evidently spoiled
them. The Indians at this post are
the only ones on James Bay not in
receipt Of treaty money n they have
made a request that Inspector Phil
lips ask the government for this grant.
Inspector Phillips is not of the
opinion that to import reindeer into
this section would solve the situation.
Owing to lack of food. the animals
would have to be herded inland. n
the Indians refuse to leave the coast.
If L~aplanders are employed to herd
them, the difficulty would be the same
because there is no WOO in the our
try and it would be impossible to
transport oil, and the LaplanderS will
not go where there is no oil or fuel.
The natives on the east side Of
James Bay are using clothing made
from blankets with calico suits over
them to keep the snow OFF and the
wind out. This is the common cloth
ing where there Is no caribou, and the
inspector holds it to be ar excellent
su bstitute; it can be washed, and
therefore it is more sanitary. The in
spector does not mention how often
the Indians have a wash day. This
section Of the country, the inspector
states, teens with fish as we'll as
white whales and seals, which have
always been the main food Of the
Eskimo.

VERY FEW REAL RUNTS BORN
Understood and Unthrifty Animals Are
Generally Result Of Inadequate
Feed and Care.

Emphasizing that runty live stock
are generally the result Of inadequate
feed, housing and care, the editor of a
farm paper In the Central West adds
to the experiences which nearly 1000
farmers have already reported to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture on the subject Of runt prevention.
"There are very few real runts
BORN" he declares. 'They may be a
little understood, perhaps a trifle
weaker and sometimes of inferior con-
stitution, brought on by improper
breeding systems. But poor housing,
limited range, getting rooted Away
and cheated by the larger and huskier
Of the litter-these are the agencies
by which most so-ealled runts are
formed. Given proper care and feed
until they get a start, the runts will
prove money-makers."
These comments agree closely with
the opinions of others who cOntrfbut-
ed their experiences In the matter to
the department. Particular care needs
to be given live stock at weaving
time, since this is the time when the
dams fail to give the nourfshment re-
quired by the growing animal and
when the young stock Is learning to
eat other feed.

WAY OF RACING MULE COLTS
Best Plan Is to Put Them on Feed
After WEAVING and Never Retard
Best Growth.

The older way of raising mules was
to turn them out at weaving time
and practically let them rough it until
three years old, then get them up,
wild as deer, for a shearing and then
either span them out to break or put
them in the pen for fattening as I'M
broken stuff. Nowadays the mule colt
Is put on feed almost before weaving
and is never allowed to stop his grow
ing until he Is ready for the harness,
which time is reached a year sooner
by the new method than by the old.
The mule at two is a good work ami
NAL, but care must be taken not to
overdo him at that age, and it is best
not to put a two-year-Old in as
regular until he Is we'll accustomed
to the work, better still, don't crowd
the youngster until he is three, when
he will have attained quite a bit Of
that strength and grit that makes
him the marvel OF the working world.
