Churns.
There are several sorts of churns,but the one we use is like a barrel with beaters inside and it rests on a wooden frame. There are two handles one at each side of it which you twist round to make the butter.It can make over forty pounds of butter .In
Summer we make butter three times a week and in Winter we make it twice a week.Long ago if a person came in while the butter was being made,and went out again without offering to make it the people used to say that,that person was to bring their butter in some evil way.it is very few farmers make their own butter now as they send their milk to the creamery.
