   In summer butter is made by them three or four times a week and in winter once or twice for the cow has alot more milk in summer than in winter, and the more milk the more cream. The woman of the house always nearly does the churning If a stranger came in during the churning you should never let them go out without putting a hand on the churn, if he went out without putting his hand on it, he would carry the butter with him.

   When the buttercup is making the people often put water in it for it would be easier for them to make it. Then the butter is taken out and it is put into butterpaper, and made into a nice lump and put into a box until used. After butter is made there is also milk left and they call that the buttermilk; the people drink that, because it is healthy and bread is made from it also. Long ago when the people had no churns or barrels it was in gallons they made it, they put the cream into it, and 2 spoons.
