Churning butter. We did this when I was a boy. When the butter began to form it got hard to do. We had cows so it was all "home product".

Great picture!!!

We had an old three holer on my grandmother's farm until about 1956.

Why were there 2 or 3-holers? Do you ever remember a time when people used the outhouse together? That's something I always wondered about.

We used the outhouse one at a time but the members of the family had different size butts.

I suppose they got tired of hearing the kids scream and having to run fish them out of the hole, LOL!
