- We have a churn at home. It is a machine churn. There is a square shaped churn-dash inside-which is twisted around by a handle on the outside and it is very easily churned.
The people had only one kind of churn long ago. it was called an up and down churn, and it was very hard churned.
People have a lot of pisreógs about the churning of milk. Here are some of them.
Some people put a "burned coal" under the churn to prevent the fairies from bringing away the butter.
Long ago it is said that people were killed churning and no butter would come on the milk.- Collector
