    Churning.
    We have a churn at home. It is about three feet high. It has round sides.
    The parts of the churn are the beaters, the handle and the lid. The churn is not very old. It was made about three years ago. We churn twice every week in Summer and once in Winter.
    All the people of the house take a hand at the churning and sometimes strangers come in and they also gives a hand at the churning. If they did not the people would say that they would take the luck of the butter. Our churn is round
