  1. To nail a horse shoe in the kitchen for luck.
    To throw away the first tooth lost over the right shoulder. Not to enter a graveyard alone. To tie a red string to a cow's tail after calving. To leave up a plate of cally for the good people November's night. To put a burned coal in the seed oats.
