  1. The first egg laid by a black pullet during the year was carefully kept for the night. It was broken and three fulls of the shell of oatmeal was mixed with the egg and salt added. The "cake" was baked on the hearth and was eaten by three persons, a man and two women. They had to walk backwards to bed without talking to anyone. They dreamt of their marriage partner.
