    piggins one week would have it the next week and hand it over to the woman who had the surplus the week before.
    Then the butter was salted. It took two women at a time to thoroughly salt the firkin of butter.(No wonder there was tea provided for the workers the day of filling the firkins) for with the weighing and measuring, not to mention the salting, it was well earned fare.)
    The wool was brought in bags in common cars to either Caher or Clogheen.
