- The lore of certain daysSaturday is an unlucky day to start a job. Saturdays beginning never ends. There are no certain days for sowing crops. The days of the old cow are called the "three borrowed days." April borrows three days from March. the first one to skin the old cow, second to wake her, third to bury her. Nobody gives away milk on May-day because they would give away their luck. If you churn on May day you will have butter all the year. You should churn on May-day no matter if you only had a quart of cream.
