Marry and Part For a Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtsbip allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
TO the wedding. When man selects
woman he obtains the consent of the
parents on both sides. and If this is
given they are al once married. The
reason. however. for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage is in order to permit of
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts of the country. which is a GUS
tomary thing and occupies the time
specified. Ninety-nine out of hundred
of these marriages turn out well.

Grain Food For Chicks.

Oatmeal is probably the best grain
food for chicks. Oats cannot be suita-
bly, prepared however. in a common
feed MILL The hulled oats are what is
wanted. They can be purchased as
the common rolled oats or sometimes
as cut or pinhead oatmeal. The latter
form would be preferred. but either of
these is an excellent chick feed. Oats
In these forms are expensive and
should be purchased In bulk. not In
packages. If too expensive oats should
be used only for a few days. when
they may be replaced by cheaper
grains. Cracked corn Is one Of the
best and cheapest chicken foods. Flax
seed meal could be used In small guam
titles. Kaftir corn. wheat. cowpeas-
In fact. any wholesome graln-may be
used TO advantage. Farmers possess
ing feed mills have no excuse for feed
ing chicks exclusively on one kind Of
grain. If there Is no way of grinding
grain on the farm. oatmeal. millet seed
and corn chop can be purchased. At
about one week of age whole Kaffir
corn and little later whole wheat can
be used TO replace the more expensive
feeds.-Oscar Err. Kansas.
