  1. The churn we have at home is about three and a half feet long and the ends are about two and a half feet in diameter. It is about twenty years old. The various parts are the beaters, and handle. There is a round piece of glass on one end of it to see when the butter is made. Butter is made once each week in Winter and Summer. My mother and father do the churning every week.
