You will always know when the milk is churned because there is always butter gathered under the joggler. Before you let the milk break you should always put boiling water on it. Then the milk breaks, then it butters, then it gathers.
Then the butter is taken off the churn with a cup. The cup is wooden, and it is like a saucer only deeper, and a lot bigger. Then the butter is put in a keeler and it is washed twice with spring water. The water it is washed with first, is thrown into the churn. Then the butter is salted and it is left in the water because it becomes salty and it is good for the butter and will help it to keep fresh longer. The butter is made with two spades into pound-rolls, prints and small rolls,- Collector
