    made twice a week as the milk is more plentiful then. When my Mother runs short of butter she makes it in a tin - can or a large tea - pot.
    It is said if butter - milk is put into a jar and buried under the ground and left there for about three weeks, then taken up and drank. It is a cure for stomach trouble.
    The local shopkeepers buy the fresh butter in lumps, and retail it at a profit
    A few farmers who live near the town send their milk to the creamery and get back the separated milk for their pigs and calves but they consider this is not as good as skim milk for them
