- Churning
Almost every house have a churn. We have one. Its height is fifteen inches and its width is nine inches. We have this churn six years.
The sides are round. The various parts are called the dash, handle, and butter hands. There are no marks on the side of our churn.
We churn twice a week
Summer and once a week in Winter. My mother churns and we help her.
If people come in they help to churn. It take half-hour to churn. When we see the butter on the milk we know the churning is made.
