wheat from the straw.
What is known as the shouting of
the churn," comes down from the time
when Apollo was worshiped in Eng
land. The churn or kern means ring
or circle formed by several persons
holding hands. The word churn also
signifies a chaplet worn around the
head or carried suspended on a pole
In procession. So the shouting OF
the churn" means the merriment that
always accompanied wearing a chaplet
or dancing in a circle.
Another old custom is the kemp
ing of England, in Scotland called "a
nell. Nell Is sometimes spelled
melee, which is better, as a melee
or row, often resulted from contend
ing for leadership in dispatching the
last days work in the field. Each
reaper left a handful of the harvest
uncut, and the bonniest lass was al.
lowed to gather these handfuls and to
make out OF them corn baby" This
was brought home in triumph, set up
In the feast, and preserved for the re.
mainder OF the year. The lass was
called the harvest queen. Sometimes
instead OF being made into a doll the
products of the field would be formed
into a mare, and the reapers would
amuse the guests by trying to cut
down the mare with their sickles. The
man who succeeded in the undertake.
ing would declare what should be done
with the mare.

the people were to gather boughs OF
cedars and willows of the brooks. 1t
may be from this custom that the
present day decoration of churches
with greens and vegetables arose.
Herodotus mentions this autumn
custom of thanksgiving, and Homer
writes that cakes and Jumps of
dough thrown at the head of the sacri-
fetal victim formed part of the
Greek offerings to Apollo, the SUM- god,
at the feast of the ingathering.'
In ancient times Apollo received the
honors of the harvest festival, but the
rustics sacrificed to Vacuna, the god.
dess Images of Vacuna were made
of straw, wheat barley and rye, and
were carried about with singing and
cheering. Even now in England i'm.
ages made of straw crowned with flow
ers are occasionally carried about and
called Ceres-the goddess of agricul-
ture. Apollo was formerly worshiped
in Britain, and the May-pole is a
pretty relic of those days. They dec
oratsd 1t with garlands to welcome the
northward coming OF Apollo-the sun
at whose appearance the flowers
and fruit began to grow.
Various customs, all containing the
same idea, have prevailed in different
countries. In Scotland when the
reapers have finished their work, a
small package of corn, called the
Corn Lady" is hung up in the house.
The ancient Egyptians offered sacri-
fees and made offerings of corn and
wine to Lelth, the mother of the sun.

secular history, was the most impor.
