The next stag"e of man- ufacture is to use another kettle somewhat larger, into which the parched product is placed. Now the brisk time has ar- rived, for a lusty man or youth steps in and to a humming melody he waltzes to right, then to left, all the time having a firm hold of a limb of a tree, or a pole supported on two forked stick-s driven firmly into the ground. This frees the parched and loosened hull from the grain. The last stage of manufacture is the winnowinsf of the much in the same way as Araunah did on his threshing floor in the period ot the undivided kingdom of Israel— i. e., the chaff and grain are thrown into the then the other, then it is push along John grain from the chaff and is accomplished for more straw with rice on it. Of course a good deal spills over the side of the canoe ; it forms the seeding for the next year, also is the source o^i food ior the Fall water fowl in the shallower water. When the canoe is filled by this primitive procedure it is taken to the camp where it is then treated, or manufactured, into an j edible shape or state. The first thing done now is to have a large kettle, like a large soap kettle, with a slow fire under it. The rice is put into the heated kettle in small quantities, being contin- ually stirred so as to parch the outer covering but not burn the grain. This requires experience and an adeptness only obtained by patient practice. 1 ^i.
