    the churn when it is made to make it quickly. When it is made it is put into a butter washer then it is washed and salted and then it is made up.
    There is an old saying that I now about churning. If anyone went into dairy and did not twist the handle the butter would never be made. When the butter is made you should put a bit on the wall or if you did not you supposed to have no luck.
    The butter milk is used for making cakes, and also people use it to drink.
