- Got from Mick Stones, Rathkeenan, Ballivor. He is 60 years of age. A priest from Ballivor had some cows and he noticed that they were only giving a small amount of milk. So he went to Conor Sheridan and told him his story. Conor said "Do you see a woman in your farmyard every morning?". The priest said he did see her. Then Conor said for the priest to go over to her the next morning and to break a piece of the wool and to say "That's nice wool you have Ma'am". The priest dud this and all the milk flowed out.
