    Churning
    The churn which is in our house is very old. It is about twenty years of age. It is not like the modern churn which can be bought nowadays. It is much harder to make a churning in the old churn than in the modern one.
    Our churn is larger than most of the old churns. It is about 3 feet tall. The top is 53 inches all round and the bottom which is much wider is 63 inches. The middle is the narrowest part and is 45 inches.
