- (continued from previous page)My mother would bring in a handful of "Sweet meadow" and throw it into the keeler and I would throw the boiling water over it. That gave the tub and the milk and the butter a specially sweet flavour. There were no creameries but we put the butter in firkins and sold it at Boyle or Sligo market. The women thought nothing, that time - of walking to Sligo market and back with their big baskets.
There was a family called Reynolds making firkins, keelers and churns, living in Boyle.There were woman too, at that time, who would not have their noggins , or tubs, or churns scrubbed right - but they got a bad price for their butter.
