- Churning.
I have a churn at home. It is two and a half feet high. The churn is about eighteen ins wide at the top and (51) fifty one ins at the bottom.
Some are straighter at the bottom than others. It is about five years old. The various parts of the churn are the dash, the lid, the staves and the hoops. There are no marks on the side or bottom of the churn.
The butter is made as often as we have milk enough in the summer and seldom in the winter.
Mother does the churning and sometimes my brother(continues on next page)
