1. Churning

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The process of churning still continues in most houses in my district. As my father is not a farmer but a teacher, we have no churn in our house but I often saw people churning.
   A churn is about four feet high and is wider at the top than the bottom. When a person is churning he or she has two articles to use; a churn and a churnstaff.
   The churnstaff is a staff with a wooden wheel attached to it. This wheel cannot revolve as it is bound on to one end of the staff. In some houses the wheel is called "the head" while in other houses it is called "the dash".
   The bottom of the churn is called "the lagan" the narrow part is called "the body" and the top of it is called "the crib".
   On an average there are about three cows in each house in this district and with the milk of these cows my neighbours can churn
