- (continued from previous page)People say that if you took away one cricket, all the others that are in a house would follow you.If you lit a furze bush, and shook it while lighting over your cattle on St. John's night, the cattle would give no trouble during the year, and you would be lucky with them.Long ago when the old people used be making the butter they used put in a red hot tongs and burn a little patch on the bottom of the churn. Then the cream was supposed to give double the amount of butter.When the cows used be milked, the bucket used be put hanging on the door. This was supposed to keep the cows giving a plentiful supply of good milk throughout the year.
