  2. When people are beginning to churn they put a bit of salt in for good luck and then they bless themselves. If anyone comes in to light his pipe or tales away a coal no butter will come on. if anyone comes in he must help with the churning. the old people say "To put their weight in the butter" The dash and the chime are parts of the churn.

  3. The first, second and third of April are called "borrowed days". March borrows them from april to skin the old cow. The skin was so tight on the cow that March was not able to skin her in thirty one days so she had to borrow three from April.
