(continued from previous page)
And thats what makes me look so young and I so old. Penny wise -pound foolish. A man without learning and wearing good clothes, Is worse than a sow with a gold ring in her nose. A green Christmas makes a fat churchyard. A wet and windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay.

Some old sayings
If you have a "crowing" hen in the fowl house carry her away and leave her at a cross toads.
A cock who crows at midnight foretells coming trouble.
If you have chickens coming out during a thunderstorm always stick the tongs or iron in the fire and they will not get killed with the noise.
Out of sight out of mind.
All's well that ends well.
One swallow does not make a summer.
