   Another story is told of a man who went into a house in Corrigeen to light his pipe. There happened to be a churning going on in the house, but he was in a hurry to get out to his work, so he didn't give "a hand" at the churn. The people in the house kept churning for a long time, but no butter would come to the top. The milk turned to froth, and broke into curds. The churning was left there and re-started, but the result was the same. New churnings were made, but still the butter could not be got back. At length a horses shoe, and a half burned sod of turf were put under the churn, and the butter came back as plentiful as ever.
