INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
Wells improved Patent Churns.

INTERESTING 10 FARMERS.
Wells improved Patent Churna.
Butter Can be Produced in Five Minutes.
THE operation of this improved Churn
i is as follows: The dasher is moved
Yerticallyfby lever, and is ut each up
ward stroke lifted above the surface Of the
cream. Its descent causes a rush Of
cream through channel. which current,
taking the direction of the sides Of the
channel, forms continuous hollow col
umn Of cream, running upward toward q
shaft, whore it meets and encloses the
body Of air which has been drawn down
by the disc portion of the dasher. This
air, in. bursting through its enclosure as
the dasher continues its descent, scatters
the cream in foam towards the inner
surface of the body Of the Churn, eau
sing it to.enclose the column of air drawn
down by Che annular portion Of the dash
er. This column in it's turn breaks
through the cream. and adding to the ag-
itation already produced, scatters IL up
ward in mass Of foam. This action of
the atmosphere is repeated at each down
stroke of the dasher, producing the spec
dy transformation Of the cream to butter.
The superior atmospheric action of this
Churn is due to the formation, in the
dasher, ola passage. whereby continu-
GUS column of cream is thrown up for en- :
closing the,air. The effect of the down
stroke being altogether different from,that
Of anySother perforated dasher. - .
The undersigned having bought the
patent right for these Churns for the
counties Of Putnam and Mason, is pre-
pared to furnished the public with them.
They are made of white oak wood, with
iron hoops, in finished and substantial
manner, and will be sold at reasonable
prices. The Churns may be seen at Buff
falo, Putnam county. N. WILSON.
