    It is not very old, we have it about three years now. The various parts of the churn are, the led, the churn cup, and the churn dash.
    Butter is made about twice a week, in Winter and Summer. The women of the house generally do the churning. If a stranger chances to come in, when we are churning he generally gives a hand. This is sometimes called "a brash."
