    The farmer lights a fire of turf. He boils a kettle of water and makes tea. He also boils eggs. He eats two good hearty meals on the bog every day.
    The turf is drawn home in July, August and September or whenever the farmer has time. It is brought home in carts. The farmer gets boys to help him to draw home the turf. Sometimes the girls draw it. It is put into sheds or made into ricks.
    Every evening when the farmer is finished working, he washes his feet in the bog - hole.
