    is round and only about two and a half inches in diameter. This glass is always covered with milk and when the butter is made the glass becomes quite clear. When the churning is taking too long, hot water is poured in to hurry it on. When the butter is made in the churn a cork is pulled from the bottom of it and all the remaining water and milk flows out. The buttermilk is used to make bread and other things and sometimes to drink.
