   When the boys down from Toor
   Went to famed Bohermoor
   For to borrow the drum from Jim Murray"

   
   The land is not good. Part of it is boggy but some of it is not too bad. Most of the farmers living in this district have to take land for grazing down in the valley, and also meadow land. Whatever arable land is in the home farm they till it each year. They let their sheep graze on the mountain.

   Part of the mountain is preserved by Lord Ossory for shooting. The shooting parties are however not as large as they were in Lord Ormonde's time, when many local men were employed as "bush beaters", that means beating the heather and bracken in order to rise the birds and game.

   
   There was a centenarian in Toor two years ago. He was 101 years of age, and his name was John Dunphy. He was famous for telling stories, some of which will be written in here later.
