    they said that if they gave milk away before the first big churning all the luck of the butter would leave them for the year.
    Gerry Molloy, Ryehill, (13 yrs)
    11 If a person took the dirt off the hoof of a neighbour's cow, and put it into his own cow's hoof, he would take all the butter from his neighbour.
    Delia Fahy, Ryehill (14 yrs)
    12. If a person came into a house for a message whilst churning was going on, she would not get her demands till the churning be over, as the woman of the house would be afraid the butter would be taken.
