  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have a hand churn at home. It is turned with a handle and a dash inside it. The breadth of the churn is about nine inches. We churn twice a week in the summer and once a week in the Winter. In olden times the people would not let anyone light their pipe when they would be churning.
