    “We have a dash churn at home 22 inches high and 17 inches wide.”

    Share Share Post
    We have a dash churn at home 22 inches high and 17 inches wide. If the butter will not come you should get a chain and put it around the churn and then get the coulter of a plough and redden it in the fire and tip the links with it. Then you will hear someone crying and you will know who stole the butter.
