The first of April is the day which marks tlm beginning of the *sugar seu among the Chippewa Indians, and the reds have taken their wives and families and hied them- to “the bush’ to gather the annual maple sugar. The head of the family-usually keeps guard over the camp which is established in the maple belt, andt looks _after the boiling of the sap.

A large amoeunt of boiling is necessary to secure the sugar as it takes about a barrel of sap to make a gallon of syrup, which will make about three pounds of sugar, and this is about the aver- age amount of sap taken from a tree of maturc proportions. Pieces of fat porkare boiled with the sap —on top—and they kecp the sap from boiling over the kettles. The quality of sugar made by the Indians is absolute- ly pure, and in yery good condi- tion when offered for sale. This industry constitutes one of the Indian, and it is expected that there will be a large crop of the sap this season, which will last about three weeks, during which time the Reds desert therehomes and live altogether in the bush.
