Note	REPORT OF REV. J.D. MACLEOD, INDIAN AGENT FOR PICTOU COUNTY, NOVA SCOTIA. Health and Sanitation. - The health of these Indians during the past year has been good. There was one case of measles, but it did not spread. Three adults died of consumption. Sanitary precautions are better observed year by year. Occupations. - These Indians are employed in various avocations. Farming, making pick and axe handles, butter tubs, fishing and hiring out as labourers are chiefly the means of livelihood. During the past year the demand for woodwork was limited on account of the prevailing industrial depression. They depended almost entirely during the winter months on smelt-fishing. The Indians here are favourably situated for sea-fishing, but they have not the means to buy boats and gear. The women help much by making baskets and moccasins. Farm Machinery and Implements. - They have a few agricultural implements, and these are well cared for. Buildings. - The houses are nearly all small frame buildings. Characteristics and Progress. - They are as a rule industrious and law-abiding. They are intelligent. The young men dress well, and are keen lovers of hockey and baseball. Temperance and Morality. - They are a peaceful, temperate community. The appointment of a local constable on the reservation has had a good effect.
