There are some Indians in Mendo-

live "ln clover" as we understand the
phrase, but It is certain that they live
on it. Strange to say. they make it
regular article of food, going out into
the fields and pulling UP the plant and
eating it by handfuls, leaves, stems,
fower-heads and all These same In
dians use many plants that white men
find no value in, among them seaweeds,
fungi, llchens, ferns and conifers. Some
OF these they use for their medicinal
properties. others for the nutritious
qualities of their seeds, and still others
for their fibres.
