- (continued from previous page)Long ago, the farmers did not send their milk to the creamery but the churned it themselves. the better off farmers churned their milk by means of a horse churning machine.
The churn was kept in the dairy and there was a beam attached to the churn dash, which went out through the wall to the yard. The beam in the yard was then attached to a shaft which the horse pulled while he walked round the churning ring on the yard. The remains of this old churn is still to be seen at our home.- Collector
