- Pupil:- K Corley, Clogher, Turlough Castlebar.
From:- Mrs Corley, Clogher, Turlough, Castlebar. Age: 48 yrs Churning. We have an ordinary churn at home. It is a large sized one, and it holds ten gallons of milk. It was John Corley, an old carpenter who lived in (Cas) Castlebar, who made it.
My mother churns three times a week. First of all she washes the churn, and puts the milk, and the dash into it, and after that she puts the lid, and the churncup on it. Then she starts churning, and when she is a while at it, she puts warm water in it to break the milk. When she has finished she takes the butter out of the churn, and washes it. Then she washed it again, and puts salt in it, and after that she makes it into little rolls.(continues on next page)
