farmer whose cows were milked could not make any butter during that year,because the person who milked his cows, took the butter fat from the milk by the power of the devil.
Sometimes when coming to milk the cows people turned themselves into rabbits or hares so as to disguise thmselves. There is an old story told about a man who went out on a May morning and saw a rabbit near his cows. His dog followed the rabbit.and bit its leg. The man saw the rabbit run into a neighbouring house and later that day he heard of a woman there being seriously wounded but nobody knew what had happened her. The man himself thought she was the rabbit he saw near his cows, and that the wound was the bite she got from the dog.
I received this information from my father John Falvey ,
