    The dash churn is a tall one like barrel. It is wide at the bottom and gets narrow at the top. A long pole with a flat rounded board nailed on to the end of it is called the dash. It is put into the churn and a lid is placed on top of it. There is a hole in this lid and through this the handle of the dash comes out. The glass churn is like the machine but smaller and made of glass. It stands on a stand.
    The milk gets light when the butter is made. Then it is taken up, the water is taken out and it is then salted. It is then ready to eat. When it is being sold it is done into shapes with patties.
