- We have a churn at home. It is three feet high. The sides are round. It is about eight years old. The principal parts are the cover, the spigot, the handles, the legs, the barrell. The butter is made once a week in summer and once a fortnight in the winter. The churning takes about a half an hour and it is done by the hand. While the churn is being twisted it is on a stand. When the churn is made you will hear it cracking. My mother takes the butter up out of the churn with her hands and puts it ready for table use.
