    comes in to light his pipe while the churning is going on if he brings out the coal in the pipe he is bringing the bitter. Our churn is sixteen years old. Usually it takes half an hour to finish a churning. When the dash is clear the butter is made. Hot water is poured into the churn in cold weather.
