“Many years ago there lived at the Southern end of this parish in a mountainy place, a man and his wife and family.”
(continued from previous page)to put the colter of the plough in the fire and while it is heating to churn the milk. The farmer and his wife, next morning, did as the old man told them. While they were churning, a next-door neighbour, came and threw a crock of butter in on the floor. It was by turning themselves, by witch craft, into different forms that people, in the olden times stole and took the milk and butter from the cows in the fields.
