    thing is, not to give any person a drink until you would have the butter taken out of the churn first. They would say that they wouldn't have any butter after that but I wouldn't believe that. You should not take a coal out of the fire while the churning would be going on. No water should be spilled out when people are churning. If a stranger would be going out of the hosue he should take the churn a while.
    Also when you have churned you should bless the churn with the churn dash before you take out the butter.
