    go to the neighbouring houses to sell them, and to provide money and food to support the family. During the day the horses are let feed along the road-side, but during the night they are sometimes put to trespass on the farmers' fields. When day dawns they drive them out of the fields so that the farmer would not see them. This is one of the chief reasons why people do not like to see them come to the locality.
    It is the general belief that travellers are no so welcomed at the present day as they were in former years.
