  1. I have a churn at home. It is five feet high. It is two feet wide in the top and it is the same width in the bottom. The sides are round. It is two years old. There are no marks on it. In churning the morning's milk and the night's milk are separated first and the cream is put in enamel buckets or clean vessels. The butter is generally made once a week in winter + twice a week in summer.
