As part of correspondence on the improving state of Welsh agriculture in the North Wales Gazette of July 29th 1813, comment was made on contemporary superstition:
"Superstition yet continues to operate so strongly on some people, that they put a small quantity of salt into the first milk of a cow after calving, that is given any person to drink. A certain quantity of cow dung is forced into the mouth of a calf immediately after it is calved, or at least before it receives any meat; owing to this, the vulgar believe that witches and fairies can have no power ever after to injure the calf. But these and such like superstitious customs are every day more and more losing their influence.
Tal y llyn. GOLETTA."
