    Churning.
    We have no churn but I saw my auntie's churn.It is about three feet high and one and a quarter foot across the top.It is ten inches across the middle.The principal parts of the churn are the staff,the dash and the lid.They churn about three times a week in the summer-time and twice a week in the winter.It takes about an hour to churn.If a stranger comes in during churning,he or she will take a "brash" as it is said to be lucky.
