  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    If a person goes into a house when there churning he should not leave until it is over. The people who come in should also take a hand with the dash. This is one of the arts that carries with it a terrible amount of superstition from the milking of the cow to the making of the butter. Including the May morning and red ribbon on the cows tail.
