    Long ago there used to be a forge where Jim Poland's House is now - in Walterstown near the Chapel. Bits of the bellows and tongs are still to be seen in Kitsey Hanlon's shed. Kitsey lived now next to Poland's Cottage. This forge was owned by Mr. Malone.
    Long ago there used to be a forge, where my Daddys, Mr. C. Kavanagh's cow-house is now. This forge was owned by Mr. Macken.
    There was also a forge in Fairland. The bellows are still to be seen there. Long ago there used to be a forge in every big farmer's yard. (25 January 1938).
    Bail Marshmallow (on herb) and make a poultice of it and put it on the sores. This will cure the sores.
