There is a stradle placed on the donkey's back. This stradle consists of two straw mats placed in a canvas bag and left on the back of the donkey. On top of the stradle is a piece of timber from which two pegs project upwards. These are called scuppógs. The cleaves are hung on the scuppógs by means of handles which are called "epishes".
Pardógs are made in the same way as cleaves except that the bottom of the pardóg is separate and only hinged on to the inside of the basket by means of rods. There is a forked stick fastened to the outer side of the bottom, this is called a sluidín and it acts as a kind of Y bolt for fastening the bottom of the pardóg. This kind of basket is used for putting out manure on ridges or drills. The loops which hold the sluidíns are slipped, the bottom drops and the manure falls on the ridge.(continues on next page)
