  1. I have a churn at home. It is four feet tall. It is three feet at the top and bottom. The sides are round.It is about thirty years old. The parts of it are called - the vint the glass, and the beaters. The butter is made when the glass is clear. There is cold water put into it in Summer and warm water is put into it in Winter. The butter milk is used for baking cakes and for feeding pigs.
