    sides of the churn rinsed down with cold water. The butter is collected and lifted out with a wooden saucer shaped scoop, into a wooden basin of cold water. It is rinsed again and again with cold water to free it from all traces of buttermilk. It is then salted, the salt being worked well into every part of it with the back of the wooden scoop. It is then made into rolls or prints.
    Butter milk is used to make bread and surplus over is given to pigs or calves.
