superstitions of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon in re-
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some Of them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn Oh moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce tall stalk with a short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as the case may be.
Other notions are INDUCED in, such as
throwing the cobs in running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
pinder bulls, the seed Of which is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along path or highway, to be
trodden upon In order to secure good
crop. Green butter bean hulls must be
thrown in a road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
a good crop the following season.
