   the butter. My mother and sisters do the churning. We have a large wooden dish for making up the butter in. First the dish and patters are washed with boiling water and soap to prevent the butter from sticking to them. The butter is taken out of the churn and put into the dish. It is washed with cold water several times to wash the butter-milk out of it. Then is is pressed between the patters to remove the buttermilk and water. When its free from both buttermilk and water it is salted and put into a large bowl.
   The buttermilk is used for making bread. We also give some of it to the pigs through their food. Long ago when the people churned on May Day they would put a "caoráin gad" round the churn to prevent the good people from bringing the butter. They would also put a pinch of salt and they would put a coal under it to prevent their neighbours from bringing the butter. They would not give new milk to their neighbours on May Day for fear that the neighbours would bring the butter.
