- (continued from previous page)can of buttermilk from my great grand mother. She said that her husband was lying on his death bed and he was longing for a drink of buttermilk.
My great grand mother gave them to her but when we churned the next time we had no butter on the milk.
Our house was thatched at that time so our people went out and got a handful of thatch from above the door and then got some hair out of the cows' tails and burned this under under their noses and the third churning we got the butter back.
