Alternate feather is just that, it allows us to feather the engine if it has not done so on its own after an engine failure. Unlike a jet, when we have a 13 foot prop hanging out on the wing our performance is dramatically decreased ;-)
Procedure is
Power Lever: Flight Idle
Condition Lever: Fuel Cutoff
Alternate feather switch select Feather
Fuel Off handle pull
