    calves from that person. Some people don't give into those things but the real facts. I have heard of a person who owned twenty five dairy cows at that time people made their own butter this day being churning day, the Mrs put cream in the barrell and started churning, early in the morning when she considered the churn should be made, she looked into it and to her great surprise it was in a mass of foam she found that something was wrong, she sent for the Priest.
    He came and read over the churn for an hour, he then told her to get her men to work at the churn again, after a short time the butter came as good as ever. The Priest then told her that she had some bad neighbour in the locality and from that day forward she had no bother as she searched her farm to see if she could find any token of puishogues so she found a leg of a calf in the bounds ditch between herself and another farmer she was advised to burn it.
