    (continued from previous page)
    (huntsman) sportsman begins to shoot,
    Fresh October brings the pheasant, then to gather nuts is pleasant,
    Dull November brings the blast, then the leaves are whirling fast,
    Chill December brings the sleet, blazing fires and Christmas treat.
    "A wet and windy May fills the barns with corn and hay."
    "Evening red and morning grey is the surest sign of a fine day,
    Evening grey and morning red makes the sailor shake his head."
    "A rainbow at night is a shepherd's delight,
    A rainbow at morning is a shepherd's warning."
