    a public house where his [?]master used always stop. The churns in olden times were different from the churn at the present days.
    ______________________________________
    We have an old churn at home still. This churn is very large. It is very wide in the bottom, and it is getting narrow as it comes towards the top. The top of it is made of tin. We have a churn staff is made of wood. It is a very long handle and there is a round flat piece of wood at the bottom. There is a wooden cover for this churn and the middle and it is stuck into the churn staff.
