ith venison or any other unsalted flesh. They 
ommonly have pretty good crops, which 1s 
wing to the richness of the soil; for they 
ften let the weeds outgrow the corn before 
hey begin to be in earnest with their work, 
wing to their laziness and unskillfulness in 
lanting; and this method is general through 
ll those nations that work separately in their 
ie fields, which in a great measure checks 
lhe growth of their crops. Besides, they are 
jo desirous of having multum in parvo, with- 
put much sweating, that they plant the corn 
ills so close as to thereby choak up the field. 
‘hey plant their corn in straight rows, put- 
ing five or six grains into one hole, about two 
ches distant. They cover them with clay in 
he form of a small hill. Each row is a yard 
jsunder, and in the vacant ground they plant 
jumpkins, watermelons, marshmallows, sun- 
owers and sundry sorts of beans and peas, 
lhe last two of which yield a large increase. 
; “They have a great deal of fruit, and they 
Sry such kinds as will bear it. At the fall of 
nie leaf, they gather a number of hickory nuts, 
which they pound with a-round stone upon a 
tone, thick and hollowed for the purpose. 
Vhen they are beat fine enough, they mix 
hem with cold water in a clay bason, ‘where 
ie shells subside. The other part is an oily, 
lsugh, thick, white substance, called by the 
iraders hickory milk, and by the Indians the 
wesh, or fat, of hickory nuts, with which they 
fat their bread. A hearty stranger would be 
s apt to dip into the sediments as I did, the 
rst time this vegetable thick milk was set 
fefore me. As ranging the woods had given 
ve a keen appetite, I was the more readily 
fampted to believe they only tantalized me 
or their diversion, when they laughed heart- 
at my supposed ignorance. But luckily 
Hest the bason was in danger, the bread was 
jrought in piping hot, and the good-natured 
andlady being informed of my _ simplicity 
howed me the right way to use the vegetable 
Equid. It is surprising to see the great vari- 
tty of dishes they make out of wild flesh, corn, 
jeans, peas, potatoes, pompions, dried fruits, 
erbs and roots. They can diversify their 
‘ourses, as much as the English, or perhaps 
‘fe French cooks; and in either of the ways 
iey dress their food, it is grateful to a whole- 
ome stomach.” 


A NEW FOREST IN ALASKA. 
| PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT on Sept. 13 proclaimed 
jnother National Forest in Alaska, which will 
ie called the Tongass Forest. It lies in the ex- 
seme southeast corner of Alaska, at the end 
/f the narrow strip of territory which extends 
jouthward along the coast, cutting off northern 
|iritish Columbia from the sea. It occupies the 
iainland and the eastern portion of the islands 
ring south of the Unuk River.

; 
The mainland and islands included in this 
}orest, says Forestry and Irrigation, have an 
pproximate area of 2,006,000 acres, most of 
hich is in an exceedingly rough country. The 
yrest will be put under administration im- 
1ediately, with Supervisor W. A. Langille in 
harge, and headquarters at Ketchikan. Mr. 
angille already has supervision of the other 
fational Forests in Alaska. 
The Tongass National Forest was created on 
le recommendation of Chief Inspector Olmsted 
od Supervisor Langille, indorsed by Governor 
\loggatt, of Alaska. The request for the reserve 
as made by members of the Ketchikan Power 
0. Its erection will give added protection to 
ie timber along the Portland Canal. The coast 
ne from the head of Pearse Inlet to the mouth 
f Unuk River is generally well forested, and 
mntains some stands of excellent timber, which 
nder National Forest administration will be 
rotected through conservative lumbering and 
ill assist in the development of the North 
juntry.
