Forests and forestry -- Canada Periodicals. .4 Reindeer Experiment In Quebec A EXPERIMKM IN QUEBEC. ;t August Mr. Elhvooil Wilson, Super- intendent of the Forestry Division of the Laureiitide ('onij>aiiy, CJrand Mere, Queliee, j*uriha>ed twelve reindeer from Dr. Gren- fell, the main herd at that time being at St. Anthony. Newfoundland. Mr. Wilson got the deer safely into the St. Maurice X'alley after considerable delay, caused by the war. but one of the deer was so badly injured on shipboard that it died some time after. Four deer were sent to a timber de- ]>ot and three of them died, possibly from lack of experience on the part of those in whose iharge they were. Mr. Wilson, there- fore, had the remaining eight deer, three bucks and five does, brought into the town of Grand ^[ere, and located in a wooded lot adjoining the nursery. Mr. Wilson's idea is that the deer have been allowed to be- come too wild since being brought from Lapland, and his aim is to domesticate them anil keep them accustomed to the presence of man. When this has been attained he sees great possibilities for their use in northern lumber camps to take the j)la(c of «logs, which are vicious ami very subject to mange, and he also thinks that the Indians might learn to herd them, thus becoming possessed of a supply of food and clothitig, besides having a beast of burden which uijl find its own food summer and winter.
