When butter is being made the cream is put into the churn. If the cream is too thick water may be added to make it thin. Then you should twist the handle for a half hour and then the butter is made. Then you should take the cover off the churn and pour the buttermilk into a bucket. A bucket of spring water is poured into the churn. The churn is twisted again for five minutes so that the butter may be washed. The butter is drawn out on a big plate and put away for use. If it is a big quantity it is salted to keep it from going bad. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
