- Butter in olden times was made with the Churn. There were certain days for churning. Nobody would churn on a Monday or a Friday. Anybody coming into the house while the churn was making, should catch the staff and strike a few blows. You would not be allowed to light your pipe inside in the house while the churn was going on, or you could not take out any fire for fear you would carry the butter. That was the superstition in those times, and a very few people would lend a churn
