  THE 
  QUEST 
  OF 
  FOOD 
  307 
  

  

  The 
  customs 
  relating 
  to 
  cutting 
  up 
  the 
  game 
  have 
  been 
  given 
  

   (p. 
  271). 
  The 
  first 
  stanza 
  of 
  this 
  song 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  hunter 
  direct- 
  

   ing 
  his 
  assistants 
  during 
  the 
  butchering, 
  placing 
  the 
  animal 
  on 
  its 
  

   back; 
  the 
  second 
  stanza, 
  putting 
  the 
  head 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  hold 
  the 
  body 
  in 
  

   position; 
  the 
  third 
  speaks 
  of 
  the 
  tail, 
  used 
  to 
  lilt 
  the 
  carcase 
  in 
  order 
  

   that 
  the 
  task 
  may 
  be 
  completed. 
  

  

  The 
  music, 
  in 
  E 
  flat, 
  is 
  recitative 
  rather 
  than 
  melodic 
  in 
  character.

  Teaching 
  economy 
  : 
  The 
  fore 
  quarter, 
  being 
  tough, 
  was 
  the 
  least 
  

   desirable 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  animal 
  for 
  food, 
  and 
  was 
  frequently 
  thrown 
  

   away. 
  When 
  the 
  hunter 
  took 
  it, 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  carry 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  

   his 
  load, 
  but 
  on 
  his 
  hip, 
  so 
  he 
  could 
  drop 
  it 
  if 
  it 
  became, 
  too 
  burden- 
  

   some. 
  The 
  meaning 
  of 
  the 
  song 
  could 
  hardly 
  be 
  gathered 
  from 
  the 
  

   words. 
  It 
  was 
  explained 
  that 
  the 
  song 
  indicated 
  a 
  plentiful 
  supply 
  

   of 
  meat; 
  but 
  the 
  good 
  hunter, 
  unwilling 
  that 
  any 
  tiling 
  should 
  be 
  

   lost, 
  took 
  the 
  fore 
  quarter, 
  the 
  most 
  undesirable 
  piece, 
  and, 
  being 
  

   heavily 
  laden, 
  he 
  had 
  to 
  carry 
  it 
  on 
  Iris 
  hip. 
  The 
  song, 
  the 
  old 
  priest 
  

   said, 
  was 
  one 
  to 
  instill 
  the 
  teaching 
  that 
  even 
  when 
  there 
  is 
  abun- 
  

   dance 
  there 
  should 
  never 
  be 
  wastefulness. 
  

  

  The 
  music, 
  in 
  C 
  major, 
  is 
  recitative.
