How They Till the Soil and Plant
	The Indians till the soil very diligently, using a kind of hoe made 
from fish bone fitted to wooden handles.  Since the soil is very light, these 
serve well enough to cultivate it.
	After the ground has been well broken up and leveled, the planting 
is done by the women, some making holes with sticks, into which the 
others drop the seeds of beans or maize.  Then the fields are left alone, for 
the three winter months, from December 24 to March 15, are extremely 
cold.  During this time the natives seek shelter in the woods, since they go 
naked.  As soon as the cold winter is over, they return to their homes and 
wait for the crops to ripen.  They gather the harvest and store it all for the 
rest of the year.  None of it is used for trade unless they barter a small 
amount for some household article.
