    May eve.
    8th. February 1938.
    Long ago on May ever every body used to lock there cows in the night what fear any body would come and take the milk.
    They used to bless there stock and crops on may eve. If you see a rush hanging out of a hens tail,you will fear of a funeral,If there is lights seen around a house there is someone to die.if you see a scattered funeral it is the sign of another.
