The answer to that question, obtained by the Observer from 16 publish­ ers, shows a remarkable change ifi public taste. Of the books of third are facts are Facts dressed, pleasantly narrated, enter­ taining facts. Readers demand them; publishers are tumbling over each other to supply them. • The facts for which the book­ buying public are at present eager are alarmingly varied, nor are they all necessarily “hard facts."

In that branch of the" Algonquin family : commonly, known as Virginia Indians, every family, at the time when the while people founded James­ town. had its garden, generally 100*x 200 feet, carefully cultivated. Them market was in their own homes, and hence needed no Marketing Act in the disposal of produce. Iu clearing new 'and. the trees were girdled, near the ground by bruising the bark. When •udiciently dried, the trees were fell­ ed by the aid of fire and stone axes, add the stumps burned. In preparing a field, the ground was worked over with wooden instruments, made some­ what like mattocks or, hoes with long haridlbs. Tbe weeds and corn stubble were dug up and-allowed to dry. then made into heaps and. burned. The women's planting implement, which they used sitting, was about a foot* long and five inches broad. Be­ ginning at the corner of the field, the women made a series ot hbles. about three feet apart, into which they plac­ ed’ four grains of corn and beans, and covered them with earth. Occasional­ ly, a vegetable of one variety occupied ?a bed by itself, but usually various species were grown together in. the one field. The gardens were caretully weeded, by. the women' and children.- V.flhen the corn was about half grown. I was hilled. Little houses or shelters ' raised upon platform's in the fields, j i were occupied by watchers, whosg du­ ty it was to keep the birds from in­ juring the crop.

The pumpkin was grown through the country as far North as the Sl Lawrence. The melon too was grown by the Indians and mentioned by the early French writers. These melons were probably the progenitors of the Montreal muskmelon. The Sun- flower was cultivated .tot its seeds, which were tteed to make both bread and broth, while the tobacco called by the natives “Apooke”. is described as being poor and weak as compared to thd tobaccos known, to the white men.
