    (continued from previous page)
    fine winter we will have a bad summer. They also say that if the first of February which is called St Bridget's day is fine we will get good weather during the year. If the 15th of July which is called Sweetene day is wet we will get forth days and forty nights of rain.
    We get a knowledge of the weather from the birds and animals. It is a bad sign of the weather to see the cat near the fire. It is a bad sign to see the goats coming down the mountain.
    If it does not rain after twelve o'clock on Saturday the following week will be fine.
    If a snipe began to screech after rising it would be sign of rain.
