tav after death. For those ten days
the soul is lowering about the earth,
lingering near its old haunts, watch
iny everything. listening to every
thing. But on the tenth day it de-
parts. and in the feast the tribe bids
it farewell. For two OF three days be-
fore this feast runners Of the Snipe
elan will go to every part OF the res
ervation, inviting the people Of the
Wolf. the Deer. the Turtle, the Heron,
the Beaver and the Hawk. They will
assemble in the Long House Of the
Snipe people. Everything will be
done according to ancient ceremonial.
The women will enter from one door,
the men from another. They will eat
corn bread whereof the meal is beat
en- out as their mothers beat it-ln
wooden mortarS.
For although the Senecas live in
modern fashion, they go back to the
old customs at their ceremonial feasts.
The people wear any bits Of the old
dress which they own, and the women
of the clan work all the day before
with the pestles. The mortars are
hollowed from the trunks Of trees.
The bread of meal and beans is boiled
up in kettles and baked over the fire.
They make. too, a soup Of meal and
beans. All this is ready when the
guests arrive and seat themselves
about the Long House.
The last great death feast was held
in November, 1904, for Mrs. Harriet
Maxwell Converse, a white woman
and an adopted member Of the tribe.
She was also Of the Snipe clan. She
had died year before. If anything
prevents the feast on the tenth day
it is held one year after the death,
because the soul comes back once a
year.
On this occasion the food was dis
tributed among the mourners, and
then Chester Lay, head man Of the
Wolf clan and friend Of the dead.
spoke her euloey: and the Senecas
wept. for they are a people OF soft
hearts. Crow. the ':preacher' Of his
tribe, expounded the doctrine Of Ga
Nia-Deio, the Seneca prophet and
teacher. and others who had known
her followed in the Seneca tongue.
1T the end the Snipe clan gave pres
ents to the runners, the chief mourn
ers. the friends of the dead and the
women who had prepared the feast.
Something like this will be the
death feast Of Falling Day. known
to the whites as Chauncey Abrams
and to his own people as Nls-Nya-
Nent. the sachem, and the faithful
follower of the old ways. Then the
Snipe women will meet and choose a
man. the council Of men will approve
him and there Will be a new sachem.

Alfalfa AS a Silage Crop.

Prof. Andrew NJ. Soule in South
ern Farm Magazine Of Baltimore for
March:
Alfalfa can be made into silage
with success, but it is so rich in d.
gestible protein, and as it can be
cured into hay quite readily, it has
been found more satisfactory, as a
rule. to utilize it for hay to be fed in
conjunction with sorghum or corn 81
lage. You understand that these
strong growing crops will make
yield Of anywhere from 10 to 20 tons
per acre, depending on the soil and
climatic conditions, and that silage
can be made from them at a cost of
81 to s. per ton. These cheap rough
nesses make ideal silage and combine
admirably we'll with alfalfa as a food
for dairy COWS and beef cattle, and
hence the belief that it is better to
make hay out Of alfalfa, particularly
in the east, where it is rather difficult
to raise. Alfalfa silage was made at
the Colorado station, and it kept
very nicely and was greedily eaten by
COWS. Tie loss in the total weight
amounted to about II per cent, which
is practically the same as with corn
and other coarse-growing crops. Good
alfalfa silage has also been made in
Kansas. so that under proper manage
ment there is no reason why alfalfa
cannot be utilized in the form Of 81
lage if found desirable.

VALUE OF VEGETABLES.

Experiments with vegetable foods
are limited to a narrow range. To the
mind OF the average housewife vege-
tables mean potatoes, cabbage and
onions, and these alone will not sup
port life. They are practically waste
food; they do not contain nitrogen.
and the potato has but little starch in
proportion to its bulk Nuts, the hard
fruits mixed with cereals, fruits. and
such easily digested food as rice.

able by meat diet. Take cabbage
for instance, one of the most delicate
delightful and slightly vegetables when
properly cooked; it becomes indiges-
t1ole, coarse and unsightly when cook
ed in the usual fashion.
Vegetables may be divided into four
classes: those containing nitrogen
muscle and tissue-building foods; the
carbohydrates, starches and sugar:
foods producing heat, energy and fat:
the oleaginous foods; those contain
ing fat, as nuts and olives, heat and
energy producers; and succulent vegtp

solution physiological salts and acids.
TO be quite perfect all vegetables
should be put on to cook in boiling
water. This does not mean water that
has been boiled and cooled. but it must
be boiling rapidly when the vege-
tables are dropped in. Do not Dour
boiling water over them, but put them
into boiling water. To green yege-
tables add salt in proportion Of a
teaspoonful to each half gallon. Green
vegetables do not contain, from our
standpoint true nourishment but thew
are OF equal value as waste and should

tables not containing starch may be-
eaten raw. but sucn roots as turnins
carrots and beets must be scraped or
