    Churning 12:1:1938
    A few days ago the teacher told us to find out all we could about a Dash Churn so I am putting down all the information I got in the next few paragraphs.
    A Dash Churn is about three feet high. The top of it is about a foot wide and the bottom is about a foot and half wide. There are other parts in the churn, the dash and the lid. The sides of it are round.
