    There are many customs connected with May morning If a farmer is selling milk he will put a pinch of salt in the milk on May morning before he sells it.
    It is said whoever gets to the local well first on May morning will have the best luck for the year. If a person goes in to your dairy on May morning he must put his hand on your churn before he leaves, otherwise he takes the butter for the year. If a person milks your cows on May morning if he is a stranger he is supposed to keep your butter for the year.
