    Some of the following trades or occupations were carried on in my district, such as, soap-making, candle-making, starch-making, spinning weaving, dyeing, rope and spansil-making grinding and threshing basket and "sgíathóg" making.
    Soap was made with quantities of soda and melted tallow or fat of a cow, which used to be killed in every house, for beef, at that time. It was allowed to set in anarrow long shape, in a sort of pastry or jelly until it would get hard and well dried up. Then it used to be saved, for the longer soap and candles are made, the better they become.
