    remained up on May Eve night for fear "pishogues" would be set on the cows.
    The goats are called thus "Betty! Betty!" or "Ginney! Ginney!" The pig's call is "Hurish! Hurish!" and the sheep's "Baw! Baw!" The hens are called "Tuck! Tuck!," the ducks "Fin! Fin!," and the geese call is "Baddy! Baddy," When the eggs are put down to be hatched there is a cross put on them with soot. There are two reasons for this: first, the eggs will produce good birds; second, it will be known if any other hen lays in this nest.
