    claibin or joggler is pout in the hole in the centre of the lid whilst churning is being done. It fits tightly in the hole, and the handle of the dash just passes through.
    A plaited briar or woodbine was put round the waist to prevent anyone from taking the butter, or round the head of the dash except when churning when it was put on top of the joggler. The milking pail, milk set, noggin and firkin are illustrated.
