    People know that the butter is made when it is in little pieces on top of the milk. Water is sometimes poured into the churn during the churning to bring the milk to a temperature in Winter and to cool it in Summer. The butter is taken out with a strainer and placed in a wooden dish. Then it is washed well a couple of times and salt is put on it with wooden spades. Water is put on it again, and the salt is well mixed through it. The water is well beaten out of it, and the butter made into rolls.
