    an hour it was their belief that someone had taken it.The way they had of bringing it back was to put the coulter of a plough on the fire to redden.If a man came in while the churn was being made and went to the fire to put a coal in his pipe the woman in charge of the churn would not like it through a belief that it would delay it from making.
    There were witches there long ago who had dead hands that they put into the churn when they were making it .By that they collected a large amount of butter.
