    The boards are called the staves, the rims that are around it are called hoops, the top of it is called the cribs.
    In winter the milk is churned once a week. In summer if it is not sent to the creamery it is churned twice a week.
    It usually takes an hour in a hand churn, and a quarter of an hour in a turning churn.
    Without the churn the people would have to send all their milk to the creamery.
