of the Animal.
Next to the. difficulty of comprehend
ing the. wonderful senses of the deer is
that of understanding how one looks in
the woods. Your ideas, are necessarily
taken from pictures or from stuffed deer
or tame ones in a park. You are almost
certain to be looking for a deer, whereas
you might better be looking for almost
anything else. In the woods you seldom
see half a deer and generally much less,
often only a part Of the shoulder, or only
an ett: over a log or a. leg under it, a bit
Of rump projecting from bush or a head
and bit of the neck reaching up for leaves.
The arcade of maple, lit up by the scar
let of the ginseng and bush cranberry, the
little arbor where the wild hop is yellow
ing over the thorn apples on which half
dozen ruffed grouse, are taking their
breakfast, the edge of the pool where the
trout flashes through the water over
which the chelone is still nodding, or the

venlson Is Staple Article Of Diet In

Newfoundland is probably the only coun-
try in the world where venison, sailed or
fresh, is "a staple article of diet; for the
masses. The. coastfo4k make their plans
with method and delfberation. ~. - ''
From the harbors where they reside they
go in their Boats to the" rivers and fiords
which strike into tE\a interior: When navi-'
cation is no longer possible they debark
and continue on foot to the deer coun-
try. They carry barrels filled with salt
and sometimes go in large companies.
When the rendezvous is reached they
camp. Then they ambush themselves
along a promising lead" or deer track,
armed with long, six-foot-muzzle loading
sealing guns, which they charge with
about "eight fingers Of coarse gunpow-
der and 'slugs'' of lead, fragments of iron
or bits Of rusty nails, whichever they
may have. They fire point blank into
herd of caribou, as it passes, and being
usually good shots, contrive to kill al
most anything they aim at, or to wound
it so badly with these dreadful missiles
that it soon collapses.: Then they skin
and cut up the meat, for these men know
a little Of every trade, and pack 1t In the
barrels with the salt as a preservative.-
