  1. Folklore - Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have no churn at home, but there is a churn at my aunt's house. It is not very old. It is round in shape. The churning is made by turning a handle on the churn. The churn turns round and round and that is how the churning is made.
    There is a round piece of glass on the churn so that you would know when the churning is made. When the glass (shoes) shows clear then the churning is made.
