  1. We have a churn at home. It is four feet high and two feet wide. it is ten years old. The parts of the churn are the stays which are made of oak, the bottom, the lid, and the dash and the handle of the dash is called the staff. When you are churning you catch the dash and work upwards and downwards.
    Some people use a horse churn. They have the churn in the barn and have a hole in the wall
