- (continued from previous page)The tyings are made of straw. Some people have their cows tied with chains.
When the people are calling cows they say "Puigin" and they are calling calfs they say "sucking".
Some people say that if you are singing when you are milking a cow that she will give you more milk.
They say that if any other person but yourself milkes you cows on May morning that they will have your milk and butter for the rest of the year
