- (continued from previous page)about a week. Then the day of the churning the cream was poured into the churn.
A standing churn was made of timber it was worked with a big stick and a round flat piece of timber in the bottom of it
When the butter was made it used be taken out and salted and made into pounds or put into a firkin; some two farmers used be joined in a firkin.
That means that each contributed a certain quantity of butter to fill the firkin and the price of the firkin was given to each alternately.
