    Churning (continued).
    Any strangers that would come into a house and the churning would be going on they should always leave their hands on it. If they did not it is said they would bring the butter.
    There is a little glass on the churn lid and when that glass is clear the churning is done. Then the butter is washed and made up. Then when the butter is gone out of the churn the buttermilk is taken out. Buttermilk is used for making bread.
