    woman will come in and take dash, dont speak to her, and you will find that you will have butter on your milk when she goes away.
    Next day the churning was not long on when the door opened, and in walked a woman. She took the dash, and churned a while and went out again and never sppke a word.
    When she was gone the butter was on the milk, and they had never any trouble with the churning ever after.
