   Phishogues. It is commonly believed locally that milk can be taken from cows by means of phisogues. Eggs have been often found buried in drills of potatoes. This form of phishogue is supposed to render the potato crop useless. On May eve the people sprinkle Easter water at the four points of their farms in order to keep away phishogues during the coming year.

   In connection with plowing, reaping, or harvesting, no work is started without sprinkling Holy water first on the implements used.

   In connection with births, everyone who looks at the newly born infant is supposed to say "God Bless it."

   In connection with deaths, all clocks in the house, are supposed to be stopped until after the funeral.
