So he lets the women do all the work of hoeing, planting, and tending the corn. The only young woman in the tribe who does not toil in the fields is one who has been in Canada and is the widow — for they say she was married in the church by the French priest — of an officer of Butler's corps of rangers. He was accidentally killed near Niagara, and she came back to live with her people. She has a beautiful seal ring which he gave her. She is very kind to me.
" A very curious custom is that of ' ...mothering the fields ' after the seed has been sown. All the wives 138 THE PATHFINDERS OF THE REVOLUTION of the tribe, who hope before the harvest time to be mothers, are expected to go out at night after the seed has been planted, and walk up and down between the rows of corn, both lengthwise and crosswise, so as to surround each seed ; for the Indians think this action of hers will increase the fertility of the soil and the certainty of the crop.
Indeed, a chief would consider it a great calamity not to have an expectant mother go up and down the fields at least once.
