    We have a churn at home.

    (continued from previous page)
    In Winter there is water poured in to heat the milk it does not need it Summer.
    Then the butter is taken out and washed with spring water until all the buttermilk is washed out of it.
    Then it is salted and made into a roll or prints.
    The milk that remains is called buttermilk.
    It is given to pigs and calves it is used for making bread and for drinking.
    This was told to me by Bridget Murphy Johnstown.
    Age 77 years.
