   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   We have a churn at home.
   It is a new one we have it only a month.
   It cost six shillings. and it's made of wood.
   We churn three times at a week
   The churn is wide on the bottom and narrow on the - top it is one foot in lenth from the bottom to the narrow spot and the narrow spot is one foot to the top.
   The way we get the milk ready for the churning is, first when the cow is milked we put in some of the milk into a basin and keep just what we want for the day, and when the basin is full, it is let thicken, and then the churn is scalded, and cleaned for the churning, then the cream of the milk is taken off, and the cream is put into a churn, and the dash is put in next, and then the cloth is put on the churn, and the dabbler on top of the cloth, and then they begin to churn.
   The people churn with their hands.
   If a strangers comes in, when they are churning they have to take a dash, or if they don't the would bring away the butter.
   When the milk is churned they take the butter off and salt it, when they have it salted, they get the butter spades and fix the butter into a roll and they put cold water on
