Summary
Ways of warding off witches and fairies.
People docked calves' tails so witches could not climb up. The contributor's wife still does this. Goats were kept to keep fairies and witches away. Witches in the form of hares were once seen milking cattle. To get the milk back, they had to shoot the hare with a silver coin.
