- I have a machine churn at home; there are many parts in it, the lid, handle and key.My mother churns twice every week in summer but she only churns once a week in winter. There are many pushrouges in connection with the churn, if a person comes in to the house when some body is churning they should churn or the faries would take the butter-milk and butter.Some people puts a coal under the churn while churning or the faries would take the churn. Long ago people used to gather the dew of other peoples land and put it in their churns when they had churned they had a lot of butter.I heard this from my fatherSarah King
