  1. (continued from previous page)
    It is an old saying that if you go visiting on New Year's Day you will be going visiting for the year. If a person came in and you churning if he did not make the churning a while it is said that he would be stealing the butter. If you would throw out water on November night it is said that you would drown some poor creature. If a calf would die they would put his hoof in behind the rafter so that no other calf would die that year.
