demand for cream and still greater one for butter.
50 there fequert Inquiries, toward the end OF

.. The bu cher lef, s. 10 its place.

fact bad been talked OF before-the word nov
| We must have churn."
Then came the question as to what sort size, FORM
fashion, ard kind of cburn thoud be bought.
"No I won't have a dash.r churn-'t nearly broke
my back when vas young girl. Why not get one
Of tho-e new patent churns that make butter in five
mir on, of milk, and cave all the expense
Of mll pans AID almost all the labor Of making but

"Sure enough, why not get patent churn Churn

Why, you have fresh butter to treat friend WHO

"who would have one Of those oil fogy, back

Something quicker than that, in this age of steam
and teegraphs, it decided we must have for our
| cow
SO general searching about, among the $50 patent
cburns in market, at once instituted to find that
| oue marked excelsior.
Ii sny one believes th.t that is an easy task, let
! hin try it. Let him start at once to buy churn. 1t
is an easy matter surely, to buy churn, but not so
easy to buy the best. Walk up this street, and down
tbst in July day hot enough to make butter in your
pockets if cLuInng you'll do it and if listening to
and believing half that is said to you upon this
greasy subject by oy-tongued inventors and their
"sgents" don't fit you fer an insane asylum before
you iud the right chun, will give you certificate
that you are proof against all epidemics-sprlt rap
ping and patent churns included.
We sp. Mt one day a, the business, ami went home

| here lie the new cbunl"
ooh, it will be here Tomorrow
"Well, what sort of one is it T.
"W.ll, cant describe it; you will have to wait
till you zee it. 1t has crank and wheels, and lots Of
iron work and you turn the crank outside and that
| turns q sort Of whirigig inside, and
| THAT makes the butter Oh, see how it is."
81 beg your pardon, but you DOM see any hing
about it. First you grind the milk or cream in
q sort of iron mlll-but can't describe it,
| "Oh well. I read an advertisement about it, and l
beard Mrs. Smith soy that she saw one Of them that
man had who was selling the patent right and 1t
| made butter in--waiI, 7 don't think over i've
or six minutes"
"Yes, ard so did I, and / bought it, and tomorrow
Won can make butter with it in the short space
| of time
Dear me, l am glad that you have got one Of
those churns il will be nothing hardly to make butter
now"
Ttere is an old proverb that "t the proof Of the
pudding is the eating" The proof of the value of
| pstent cburns will be found in using them The ono
in question was put to use with vivid antcipatons of
seeing the golden coored butter taken ont in the mar
veloury short time in which the "sgent" said it
| could be produced with "eur cburn-a churn Of the
"mo.t undoubted value, and nearest perfection of
anything ever invented
So the churning was commemorative first churning
the cream having been first brought to the exact
degree of temperature to suit this particular style of
cburn." 1t was poured slowly into the hopper and
pround-yes, ground, as you would grind coffee,
through an iron mill. Round went the crank and
wheels and the cream was coon through the mill and
in the churp below among the whiriggs which would
soon gather the butter.
twas to be so short and easy job, this churning,
that father said be would do it. So he turned
away awhile then shifted hands, then changed back,
and at length began to think it was long six minutes
Then one after another Of the women folks tried the
thing then the hired man. hearing the clatter, came
in I" TO see the fun and he took hold. And then
we'll then, after three-quarters Of an hour good, stes
work, the word wac" We'll, il has co ne at LAST
and after little more work to gather it, the butter
was taken out not particularly yellow, and decidedly
soft 1t had been sgitsted long enough 10 make it So
The SIX minutes churn had failed to do the work in
eight times Elk minutes.
"Ah we'll but we churned cream, and the man said
Il would churn milk better than il would cream. Let
US try !, with milk
So the two lat milkngs brough. up and poured
into the hopper and ground through the mill, and
then agi,ated yes, agitsted with first one hand and
then the other till one was tired and then another
took his place and tLen another, and on for hsf an
hour and no butter. Tbreequsrters Of an hour, and
no butter. An hour and no butter. An hour and q
