  1. About five years ago when a Mullinahone farmer was drawing home hay one cock gave considerable trouble. The hay car knocked against the pier, a tackling broke, etc. and when it was being put into the hay shed a duck egg was found in it. "How could we draw it in and the devil in it?" said the farmer.
