   There isa a big churn at home. It is about thirty years of age. It is wide at the bottom and narrow ain the middle and wide at the top again. It is a very big churn. It would hold three pans of milk. There is a sort of hand cut in it. It can hardly be seen now. It is nearly blotted out with the paint. It is worked with a dash. The dash is pulled up and down. It is very heavy.
