- Mud procured from the hoof of a neighbour's cow and placed on the lid of the churn, whilst churning was said to ensure an increased yield of butter.
A coal taken from the fire and placed under the churn whilst churning prevented the good people from taking the butter.
People did not churn on May Day nor would they give away a drop of milk.- Informant
