    Our Churn
    We have a churn at home. It is seven years old. It is an end-over-end churn. It is four feet high and one foot seven inches wide. The parts of it are the lid, the screws, the frame, and the barrell. It takes half an hour to churn. Water is added to thicken the milk when we start to churn. My sister churns and makes the butter. She gathers it with her hands.
