    paddle the cots away from one another. When the man gets a put on the net he pulls it in. The fishermen go out to fish about night fall. The fishermen fish against the tide. When the fish is sold they divide the money among the four men. They kill the salmon with a smairtin which is a piece of stick about a foot long.

  2. Burning Lime in Kilns

    Share Share Post
    About seventy years ago every rich farmer used to go to Dunkit, Co. Waterford with his horse and cart for lime-stone. He used to start at night fall, and would'nt be home until the night after. The lime would be put on the farm. It is a great fertilizer for the land.
