thus number about 5000 as long ago as 1010 the canadian government began its investigation of the possibility of pasturing rein deer in northern crnada in the great tundra country which stretches north from the timber una to the coast the plan was brought about by the change in habits of the eskimo and their need for food to take the place of caribou which have changed their routes of migration the scarcity of caribou often brought tribes of eskimos near starvation and the problem ot preventing their extinc tion was a serious one change in eskimos habits since furtrading posts invaded the far north the eskimo has changed from hunter to trapper he for merly killed sufficient caribou with his native weapons just enough to enable him to exist and not sufficient to drive the carbiou away from the routes they traveled every year they used to migrate from the bar ren grounds as the tundra was then tailed and cross over the ice to the arctic islands returning in the fall to the mainland where there was bet ter winter pasture but when the eskimos obtained rifles they killed more caribou than they needed and the wary animals turned east before reaching the northern coast and went into the desolate interior where the eskimos seldom travel the result was famine the eskimo has also changed his habits since becoming a trappe cnts tularaemia was discovered by dr edward francis of the public health service wild rabbits are the main source of infection of this disease among wild rabbits tul araemia is a very fatal disease men sometimes contract this diseaso from handling rabbits hunters who cress rabbits or cooks who prepare them for the table are very frequently in fected wiht tularaemia if the rabbit has this disease a few cases have been contracted from such unusual sources as the skinning or dressing ot woodchucks muskrats opossums skunks coyotes and tree squirrels the three chief sources ot infec tion with tularaemia are tick bite fly bite and the dressing of wild rab- j bits cases of the disease have ac- curred in tho united states in every month of the year the great re servoir of infection and the greatest no snow on the boardwal k atlantic

canned foods swcals and other foods which are not rl for the natives and he growing se of white mens clothing have lowered tho eskimos vitality and made him more suscepti ble to disease so it was determin ed to give him reindeer to herd under supervision so that a constant sup ply of clothing and food might be available animals now plentiful the same situation arose in alaska i many years ago and in 1s91 a herd of 12s0 reindeer was imported from siberia they have increased to more than 750000 and ot them the natives own twothird clothing and food both are obtained from the animals reindeer skins making ex cellent outer garments so success ful was tho breeding of reindeer and the use of reindeer meat that an at tempt was made some time ago to introduce canned reindeer meat in tho united states an investigation of the reindeer industry in alaska was made by the canadian govern ment and then a survey was made of the tundra country in the north west territories to determine what pasturage was available as a re sult canada ordered 3000 reindeer from tho lomen brothers in alaska the herd which is now on its way to the mackenzie the reindeer will be pastured at first in two large areas one running along the coast and some distance inland from the alaskayukon houu- dary to cape hathurst in a region where are lakes known as the eski mo lakes tliis area provides abou 15000 square miles of pastureland for reindeer the tundra is firm and rich in lichens known as rein deer moss at some distance from tho coast there is suitable winter grazing the land being partly tim bered at the south there are few natural boundaries to keep small in dividually owned herds intact but community herds could easily bo maintained by the tribes it is esti mated that 250000 head of reindeer could bo kept in this one area north and cast of great bear lake is another grazing area stretching as far cast as the coppermine river and running north to coronation gulf this tract comprises about 3s000 square miles and could probably npport 300000 reindeer it is hoped by the government that tho importation of these herds and their subsequent increase will solve tho food problem for the eski mo although tho natives will prob ably still trap fox the domestic rein deer needs so llttlo care that it will probably survivo as it has survived in alaska even as far north as point barrow reindeer owned alto gether by eskimo have lived and in creased for many years but becauso t the climate and sometimes neglect ky the native owners they have de creased in size unless they are ruthlessly killed however and gov ernment supervision may prevent that they should remain to take the place ot the wild caribou in the en tires diet also the caribou i may ltum to uelr normal rentes source of human infection is the wila rabbit jack cottontail and snowshoe varieties but owing to the agency of bloodsucking insecta com mon to rabbits and man we also find cases resulting from tick bite and fly bite although a new disease of man tularaemia bas now been recognized in fortythree states of the united states in the district ot columbia canada japan russia and norway november december and january have been the months ot onset for the majority ot the cases occurring east of the mississippi river result ing from the dressing of wild cotton tail rabbits for food these months embrace the open season when owing to the relaxation of the game laws tho hunting ot cottontail rab bits is generally permitted and con sequently these rabbits aro then of fered for sale in great numbers in the markets as a rule when tho infection has come from a rabbit some injury has been inflicted on the hand although a manifest injury is not necessary for infection to occur usually an ulcer develops at the site of infec tion accompanied by enlargement of the lymp glands which drain the ulcer fever is always present and continues for two to three weeks the primary lesion may bo located on the eyelid or on parts of the jody other than tho skin ot the hands if ick bite or fly bite the diagnosis is confirmed by a blood test one attack of the disease con fers immunity in man from further attacks there is no special treatment tor this disease rest in bed is the most important measure no pre ventive vaccine or curative serum has been perfected nor has any special drug been found effective against tularaemia rabbit meat thoroughly cooked is harmless for food and it has been found that a temperature of 56 deg centigrade or 133 deg fahrenheit kills the germ of tularaemia the ordinary disinfectants are effective rubber gloves should be worn by those who must dress wild rabbits immune persons should be employed to dress them where possible in fected rabbits kept in cold storage at a temperature just above freez ing may retain their infection for three months but not for four months market inspection of rab bits is impracticable because only about 10 per cent of the rabbits found in the market stiil have the liver in place finally beware of the wild rab bit which the dog or cat has caught or which a boy has kiiied with a club it is probably a sick rabbit fallen i love these
