- There is a hole on the side of the churn to let in the air. Butter was made once a week in winter and two times a week in summer. The woman of the house makes the butter. They make the butter in a churn. The churning is done by hand. The churn was rolled. When there are grains on top of the milk you know when the butter is made. They put water in the milk to make it gather quickly. They let off the milk first. They take out the butter then and wash it and salt it.
