- (continued from previous page)churning because there is an old saying that whoever comes in while the churning is going on should take a turn at it because if not they would take the butter out with them and no butter would come on the milk.
- Some people have different kinds of churns. Some have dash churns and others have end over end churns. Butter is made twice or three times a week in winter. People who come in when the churning is being done help at it. Water is poured in. The butter is lifted off with a plate.
