    Local Crafts
    (Churning)
    Long ago people used to have churns for making butter. It was kept in the house as there were no creameries mes there in olden times. They used go to the mark-et and sell the butter; and that is the way they got their money.
    When they used make the butter with a churn no coal could be taken out or the butter could not be made.
    If a person came in to the house he should work the churn or the butter would not be made.
