- We have a churn at home. It is an end over end churn and it is resting on a stand. The sides of it are round. It is about six years old. Butter is made in Summer about twice a week, and in the Winter it is made about once a week. My brothers do the churning. It takes about half and hour to churn. The churning is done by the hand. When the butter is well gathered on the top of the churn, the churning is done. Butter milk is used for making bread, sometimes it is given to pigs and fowl to drink.(continues on next page)
