    Churn
    We have a churn at home; it is not a dash churn. It is a year old. When we are churning every body helps. If strangers came in they would help also. They say "God bless the work." or I'll leave the weight of myself of butter on it. It is done by hand. When we see the glass clear we know it is done. The buttermilk is used for making bread.
