A milk churn is usually called a 'milk kit' by farmers (and their daughters - me!). I remember being taken to the end of our farm lane along with the milk kits to catch the school bus. The milk kits were left on a raised slate slab called the milk stand to await daily collection by the Milk Marketing Board wagon.
