    in .You should kill two cocks on St Martins day if you had two horses and sprinkle the blood on a piece of cloth and it would cure a pain in the head or the side.
    If you saw a sop hanging from a hen it is the sign of a funeral.
    You could not stir the hangers but when nessary or you would be washing the divils shirt behind the door.
    if you begin to sow potatoes on a Saturday you would be all the year at them When a child is born soot should be put in his mouth.
