How Dutch Farmers Kill Hogs and '
Plant Seed by the Moon. ]
i
The Dutch farmers of Rowan j ,
eounty are among North Carolina's I .
icost prosperous aDd most interesting
people: they live well, save money, '
and improve in every way. Thrift is (
virtue with them. They are great
believers in signs and old sayings; ,
tfaey do things by the moon.
Before building a worm fence the
Dutch always watch the moot; it
mast be right or the fence will sink
into the ground. Tee bottom rail
must be put down when the little (
moon is turned up, so that it will not 1
Bink into tbe ground. To prove that
this is the right sort of doctrine lets (
person make an experiment with two i
bricks ;put down one when the little
moon is up and tbe other while 'it is i
down and it will be noticed that the
one laid when the moon was down ;
will go into the ground and that the
other will remain as left
If one would cover his house well !
be must make the boards when the <
little moon is turned down. That is j
easy; the boards will keep their shape
if riven then. But, on the other hand, i
if made while the little moon is
tamed cp the boards will cup up at i
the ends when exposed to the weather.
I have seen many a board turn
up at the end, but never knew what
did it until now. (
The moon must be right when a 1
Dutchman kills his hogs. If the hogs '
v are killed when the little moon is on
the decrease the meat will shrink, j
bat if killed when the little moon is <
on the increase it will swell. 1
To have good turnips one must 1
plant on Israel's day?that is in Au- :
gust; If corn is planted when the i
little moon points up, the ears will 1
grow too near the top. The ears gets
more nourishment near the ground. !
The Datch have what i3 known as | .
Fasnacht (I guess that is the way to '
spell it) day?the day before Ash
Wednesday; they must have Fasnacht
fritters then or the crop will not be
good.
I was in Saulisbury on last Ascen- '
sion day and the town was full of '
country people. That is a Dutch
holiday. No work is done on Ascen- (
sion day. It is a day of rest and
- pleasure. If the first visitor to a
home that day is a man, all the eggs '
that are setting will hatch roosters; if
a womaD, pnlleta will prevail. Therefore
a man is an unwelcome guest
early in the morning on Ascension
day. '
It is not right to carry out the
ashes between Christmas and New
Year's day; that brings bad luck.
If a person would court good luck
he or she must pull off the left shoe !
first on going to bed, and, to keep it
up, put the right on first in the
morning.
If a farmer puts out manure or fertilizers
when the little moon points
op, it will stay, but if the little moon
points down it will leach out.
There are a thousand and one of
these eigne and sayings if they could
be oollected: many of them are met in
other than Dutch communities.

Stsaxner on Fire.
New York, June 15.?The eicur- |
8ion steam boat General Slocum was
destroyed by fire about ten o'clock
this morning, off North Brothers
Island. A telephone message from
:he island eavs many persons lost j
their lives. The vessel took fire in
the upper works and tbe flames I
3pread rapidly. The pilot steered J
for the shore, but before the boat
^ould be beached she was a mass Gf
dames from stem to stern. The j
Slocum carried an excursion party j
umbering nearly 1,600, of whom
mors than half were children. Many
jumped overboard aDd were drowned
while others were burned to death
on the boat. The telephone operator
at North Brothers Island says the
water near the island was fall of
floating bodies. Quite a number
was saved, and they are being cared
for at the island. Tbe Slocum was
an immense triple decker.
Tbe latest reports received indicates
that at least 700 were )o3t.
The police recovered a number of
bodies, mostly those of women and
children. A musician on board of
the ill fated steamer says he, with
bi3 wife and three children were
aboard. Suddenly the blaze sprang
up from tbe lower deck. A panic i
followed. He was thrown overboard i
with one child. He says everything
was the wildest excitement on the
boat which had women and children
of St Mark's Sunday school, East
Sixth street aboard.
