- Our farm consists of eight large fields. The meadow fields are all near each other and the hills are pasture. Rushes and moss grow on the hills. Lime is put on the hills to cut away the moss. The fort field so called because there is a fort in it near our house. Eighteen cocks of hay are on the field and twelve cocks in another meadow. We have a small piece of land a long distant away in a bog and the soil is black. My father digs this up every year. It is called cast-up. We have a right to a bog in the town land of Gabhlan a couple of miles above Drumkeerin. We set potatoes and oats in the big meadow.
We take in a small piece of ground for planting cabbage seed.

The crook is about 2 ft long and is round at the top and crooked at one end. He sticks this crook in the pig's jaw. Then he cuts her throat(continues on next page)
