The rock in some places covered with perhaps from two to six inches of soil, and this, though too shalâ€" â€"â€" |low to work, affords excellent pasture, There are hundreds of acres of this kind of land together, and one farmer might ‘-' profitably keep twenty five or thirty , | cows during the summer, â€" But notwithâ€" standing the shallowness of the soil, it is all growa un principally with poplar \| and paper birch. _ Grass and red clover | can often be ‘seen from one to two feet + , high among the poplars, | _ Lumbering, a few years Ago, was a leading imdustry befuore the Michael‘s Bay Company broke. _ A large number of men found employment here during the winter taking out logs, railway ties, and fence posts, â€" But, nevertheless, lumbering is carried on to a small exâ€" tent yet. â€" During each of the last two winters the Indians had the contract of taking out fifty thousand ties on the Reserve, _ These contracts they comâ€" pleted before spring. Fishing is also an important industry, At the mouth of South Bay 1s a fishing village, where quite a number of men make their homes during the fishing season. Tons of fish are landed here every week. Some of the fifty five or sixty picturesque inland lakes also conâ€" tain fish : salmon, bass, etc., and in one _or two creeks flowing into Souch Bay there is an abundance of fish for a short time in the spring. | Pike and suckers go up these creeks and remain two or threefweeks. Waggon loads of these are caught by the farmers The chef port of Manitoulm is Maniâ€" towaning, situated near the head of Manitowaning Bay, Large numbers of cattle, sheeK. lambs and hogs are shipâ€" rd from this peort every summer and all. _ Generally one or two boats call here daily either going up or down the lakes. a to to GRY * Sant? ts# in widlicicacs ns s BBRE 4 1 1 > 1 : obtain the staff of life by iarming on a small scale. fishing, and in other ways too numerous to mention.
