- (continued from previous page)empty one's the cock often scolded. Some old people used not to like to exchange eggs for a clutch for fear they would have any ill luck atall. My grand -mother often told me she put down a big egg to hatch one time. This was for curiosity. She never dreamt of any harm. I suppose there were two yolks in the egg, and that they were joined in the egg, and it happen that there were two birds in that egg, and they were joined together. They died in the egg. They were too weak to scallop the egg. That very year she buried a fine man of her family, and nothing would convince her but it was the big egg that brought the death on him.
