The most interesting water fowl now
is the big Canada goose, which feeds,

Several plants furnish beverages to

course there is the Labrador tea

of it's usefulness. Here 1t has also a

great enemy of the northern tree, the
wind.
Where it grows in exposed stu
ations, the limbs to the north, the
direction Of the prevailing winds, have
been Stunted or killed, and in it's mutt
lated state the white spruce thus
stands as a living compass. Many a
trapper avails himself of its direc-
ton. Where the tree has pushed its
way to the oceans edge, it exists only
as a gnarled and deformed shrub,
sending out perhaps one horizontal
branch where some projecting crag
has offered shelter, and developing in

not serve for broom handle.
