A Tradition [duchas:4911016]

Biddy Early was a woman who was well known here a long time ago. she used to visit every farmer's house in the parish.
One day, while in one of the houses, a neighbour came in. He asked for a "coal of fire". He did this three times. The third time Biddy Early took a coal in her hand, threw it into a butter-barrel; the cream turned into butter. Biddy saved the farmer's butter.
