   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   On olden times the people of this district had a very slow and tedious method of making butter. The milk was set in earthen ware pans. It was allowed to remain thus, for two days. The cream was then taken off with a wooden skimmer and was allowed to remain in the cream pan for a week or so. When the farmer had collected a weeks cream, he put it into a wooden barrel or churn and churned it.
   There the cream was changed into butter. The milk was let out of the churn and was called the butter milk, which was a very wholesome drink. Clean spring water was then put into the churn; and the butter washed with it. When the butter was well washed, the water was let out of the churn. The butter was gathered together and taken out. It was then salted and put into a ferkin. A ferkin was a clean wooden barrel which would hold one cwt. of butter. The ferkins of butter were then taken to Cork city and sold.
