   Churning

   There are many different kinds of churns.
   The names of some of them are - a dash churn, a rocky churn, a glass churn. Long ago the people used a dash churn and it was a custom that if people came in and you churning to take the dash and help ou, and if they did not take the dash it was said that they would bring home the butter on their cloak. There is also a churn called the end over end churn. At the top of this churn there is a glass, and when this glass is clean and no small butter on it the churning is finished. It takes about twenty or thirty minutes to churn. Some people keep unsalted butter for certain purposes.

   Old Sayings A rolling stone gathers no moss. It is better to go to bed supperless than to rise in debt. Never put off until to morrow what you can do to day. There is as good fish in the sea as ever was caught. A stitch in time will save nine. You will never miss the shelter of the bush till its cut. A bird in the hand is worth two on the bush.
