- (continued from previous page)use to men in early times. They made ropes of it, bridles and saddles for their horses. The cooper made the churn, pails , milk tubs, and other articles from timber. The milk vessels were always scoured with fine sand, washed and scalded with boiling water and left in the open air before setting the milk in them.
The churn with the dash was in most houses; churning was very heavy work, because in those days they churned nearly all the milk.
The butter was packed in firkins and sold in the markets. Butter had 4 qualities in those days. The best quality was marked S which meant Superfine, the next quality was marked I which meant first quality, the next was marked II which meant second quality and the last was marked III which meant third quality.Annie Morrison
