  1. Butter

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used bring butter. When one would be churning it is not right to let anyone bring out a coal or a lighting pipe for old people said that if the did your milk would produce no butter.
    Also if people brought a needle while you would be churning the would take the butter.
