    good crops for the farmers. The land that they do not plough good grass grows in it for the animals. Long ago that is the reason hardly anybody went to America because they had large farms to work themselves.
    It is very bare only a few trees here and there. The Clonmany river divides Rooskey from Cleagh. It runs from Mindoran lough to Binion sea. There are many brooks running into it; one is called "Sean's brook" because it runs through a man's farm named Sean. It runs from Bulba to Clonmany river.
