   Churning

   There are two kinds of churns one, a "Dash-churn" the other a Berrel-churn.
   The dash-churn is made of oak. It is wide at the bottom narrowing as it comes towards the centre and gradually widening at the top. It is made in two pieces the halves being joyned by iron bolts. The churn is held together by several round iron hoops. The lid is also made of oak with a hole in the centre to allow the staff of the churn-dash to come through. The lid fits tightly into the churn to prevent milk or butter splashing out on the lid.
   The farmer's wife collects all the surplus milk and she allows it to go very sour and thick. When the milk is ready for churning the churn is washed out with boiling water to scald it. The same is done with the dash
