Churning.
We have no churn at home but I have often seen my aunties churn.It is three feet tall and eighteen inches across the bottom.The sides are round .It is seventeen years of age.The various parts are the lid,the staff and the barrel.The lid is marked and the side is marked to coincide so that the lid may be put on in the proper position.Butter is made twice in winter and four times in summer.My aunt does the churning.Strangers who come in help to churn because it is said to be lucky.It takes three-quarters of an hour to do the churning.The churning is done by hand.
