    wash your hands in boiling water, and rub hard with salt also. Then lift the butter off from the churn, into the wooden dish, and make it up with wooden spades. All the strangers that come in while churning say "Good luck to your work". The buttermilk is used for baking bread, and is also used for drinking. You also give some to the neighbours, and the rest to animals.
