- We had a churn at home.
At the present time there are no churns but creameries.
The sides of the churn are round.
The churn-staff.
Churning is made two times a week where there are a lot of cows.
Strangers help at the churn because they had a right to do it.
Churning takes one or two hours.
Churning is done by hand.
The churn dash always moved upwards and down-wards.
People knew when the butter was made when it was stiff.
Water was put in the butter because the butter used to come together.
They used to leave out the butter-milk.
The butter was taken out with a timber spade.
It is drink and is very good for drinking.
