sUPERsTlTIoNs OF BRIDES.
Great Misfortune IL is Believed Follows the
Loss of Wedding Ring.


One of these is expressed in an old
rhyme which is familiar to us all:
Change the name and not the letter,
iou change for worse and not for better.
Another is that the day must be fine, in
accordance with the old time saw.
Happy Ii the bride that the aun shines on.
Blessed the dead that the rain rains on
There is still another superstition, po-
etically rendered, that a brides wardrobe
must contain
Something old and something new:
Something borrowed, something blue
Ii is considered very bad fortune for a
bride to make her own wedding cake or to
have anything to do with it; and strange
as it may seem, 1t has been observed over
ard over again in unhappy marriages
that the bride had stirred the wedding
cake.
To lose a wedding ring in the FIRST
month of marriage augurs great misfor-
tune. To lose it any time is sup posed to
predict calamity. There is an explanu.
tion of this superstition which is of
the same theory that time will cure all
ills:
A. the weddisg ring wears,
SO wear away llts's cares.

n Talk With Farmers.
Excl change.

During recent walk in the coudtry it
occurred to us to stop at every farmhouse.
where we saw flock of fowls and ask two
questions: One was as Tn the cost OF
keeping one hen one year; the other was
as 10 now many eggs the hen would pro-
duee IN that time. 1t is perhaps needless
10 say that we did rot get satisfactory
answer to either question. Ii was prob
aoiy not TOO broad an assertion tc say that
not one farmer in 900 knew how much
1t cost him to keep his entire flock OF
poultry, much less the expense of a single
iowl. A slight percentage keep record
cf the eggs, out not often sufficiently de-
hnite TO show the average yield of each
hen. Conducting the business in this
fashion, they have, of course, no very clear
Idea whether 1t is profitable or not The
average estimate of the cost of keeping
iuii grown hen Is 81 per year for the grain
ieed, no estimate beng made OF the v.iuge
OF pasture, scraps, expense of housing and
labor OF caring for them. At this estimate
IL would require at least 10 dozen eggs at
an average price of IL cents per dozen to
give any satisfactory profit from an ordin-
airy Hook. Farm tl)cks do not average
such production rs this. and where
grain Is given without measuring or be-
ing accounted for in any way the cost is
probably much more than that given1n
the foregoing. Especially is this true IN
the north, where they have no outdoor
range for several months, and the easiest
way to feed them is BY throwing out a
liberal quantity of grain from the grain
bins three times day We would strong
iy advise more careful accounting in this
matter both as to cust Of feeding and pro-
ductlon. We believe it would generally
result IN reform of methods, producing
better stock, or in reducing the Hock to
such dimensions as would suffice for nome
use.

She is now on her second dog and grow

it as bad as the disease.
