BLACK FOREST CUSTOMS.
Youngest Son Inherits Property and
Cares For the Old Folks.

The peasant farms OF the Black for
est are handed down from father to
son in direct line, often dating back
400 years, says Antiquary.
There Is no division as in France.
All falls to the heir, only here ii Is not
the eldest but the youngest son, who
inherits 1t is rare that a bur peas-
anti dies as reigning head. When he
gets on in years he abdicates in or
der to end his days in the leibgetlinge-
haus (doVer house,. which Islands be-
side each hof (steading).
That he does so in favor of his
youngest son Is very sensible. Were
ii the elder he would have no peace,
for as soon as he married he would try
to induce his parents to retire just at
an age when power is sweetest and
best exercised. For this reason the
practical farmers of bygone genera
tons decided to hand over the success
sion TO the youngest, since when Benja-
min Is n full grown man father Jacob
is old and glad to rest.
This law of inheritance goes by the
name Of vortel. Should the heir Of his
own free will desire to resign in favor
of his elder brother the latter must
buy the property from him. In such n
case the younger may be termed "a
kind Of Esau.
