- (continued from previous page)churn. The buttermilk is used for baking and it is used for drinking.
- We have a churn at home. It is one foot and a half high and one foot, two inches in breath. It is a twisting churn and it is worked by hand, It is a year old. The butter is made once each week in winter and twice each week in summer. My mother mostly does the churning. People that come in during churning take a twist. The churning takes about a quarter of an hour before the butter is made. When the butter is made you could not twist the handle of the churn. Often water is thrown in to the churn to make the butter gather quickly. Some of the buttermilk is drank and bread is made of more of it.
