  1. People named Quinn lived in Grangeford. They had a few acres of land, with two cows grazing on them. They could never get butter from the milk. They were told about a witch, who lived in Tullow. They went to her, and she advised them them to get the plough irons, and to put one end in the fire, and the other end under the churn. They did so, and they always had butter afterwards.
