Churning
When old people are making butter in a churn they do many queer things .When they begin to make it they put two spools into the .It is an old custom with them if any person comes into the house when the churn is making he will make a dreas of it .If anyone comes in to light his pipe into a house they will not let him bring out a coal for fear that person would take away the butter from them .
When they are sending milk to any house they put a pinch of salt into the milk for fear that would bring the milk from the cows.- Collector
