ALASKA III SUPPLY
UNTIE BEING IP
Reindeer raising has become one
of the most practical agricultural
industries of Alaska, and herds
have increased to such an extent
that a large supply of meat is avail
able for export, the Department of
Agriculture announced. Studies de
signed to improve the industry and
increase the food supply and in
come of the natives have been un
dertaken by the Biological Survey
of the Department, according to
the statement, which follows in
full text:
Reindeer meat was first market
ed in the Northwest, then on trans
continental trains and in metropo
litan hotels. Under improved re
frigeration facilities and methods
of handling reindeer meat is being
more generally distributed, and
many housewives have asked for
information as to its use. In re
sponse, studies on the best methods
of its preparation for the table
were undertaken by the Depart
ment’s Bureau of Home Economics,
and the results have been issued in
“Reindeer Recipes”, by Dr. Louis
the form of a new leaflet, No. 48,
Stanley, Chief of the Bureau, and
Fanny Walker Yeatman.
Reindeer meat differs but little
in composition from beef or veal
of the same grade. In general it
contains less fat and slightly more
protein. Feeding conditions vary so
much from those prevailing else
where that differences in vitamin
and mineral content are to be ex
pected. The flavor is characteristic

* The color is most noticeable as
one walks over a glacier and crosses
a great spot where the snow looks
red. A faint but well defined scent
of watermelon emanate from the
colored snow. Scientists have found
that this kind of snow does not fall
—it grows. It is a minute form of
plant life, related to algae.

land different from beef or veal; it
' is gamy but not strong. The texture
is fine, and most of the meat is
tender.
As the reindeer is different in
size and shape from either beef cat
tle or sheep, the cuts vary accord
ingly. Reindeer meat is shipped
frozen and must be handled with
the same care as any other frozen
meat. It should be allowed to thaw
slowly at a low temperature before
preparing for the table.

—Believed doomed by the blight
that virtually has destroyed the
native American chestnut, that
valuable nut and timber tree prom

Pennsylvania noted an improve

and found that young sprouts,
many of them the stumps of trees
killed by blight, are bearing. The
sprouts appear to be immune to the
disease.
