1. Milking and Collecting Milk

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There were no earthenware crocks in my young days. Oakeen tubs (keelers) for holding milk and oak churns for churning. We had eight cows - we churned every day in Summer - and I often churned twice on a Saturday. We churned all the milk; my mother, God rest her soul, always thought the butter was firmer and better that way, than by taking off the "top" and churning it alone.
   He scrubbed the vessels with heath - there were no scrubbing brushes that time.
   I boiled a big pot of water and I 'scalded' the keelers and I scrubbed them until they were white - inside and out - as oak could be made.
