1t is an easy matter, surely to buy churn but NOT
so easy to buy the best. Walk up this street, and
down that, in July day hot enough to make but

"Where is the new churn ?'
ooh, it will be here to morrow"

tll you see 1t. 1t has crank and wheels and lots
OF iron work, and you turn the crank outside, and
that turns a sort of whirling inside, and
"That make the butter. Oh see how tits"
81 beg your pardon, but you don't see ANYTHING
about it. First, you grind the milk or cream in q

'Dear me, so glad that you have got one of
those churns; it will be nothing hardly to make

THERE'S an old proverb that ''the proof of the
pudding is in the eating" The proof of the yalue
OF patent churns will be found in using them The
one IN question was put to with vivid antcipa-
tions OF seeing the goldencolored butter taken out
IN the marveousy Y short time in which the "apant'
said it could be produced with "our churn-a churn
OF the most undoubted value and nearest perfec
ton of anything ever invented"
so the churnng commemorative first churn-
lng-the cream having been first brought to the
exact degree of temperature ''tO suit this particu
lar style of churn." 1t poured slowly into the
hopper and ground-yes, ground, as YOU would
grind coffee, through an iron mill. Round went
the crank and wheels, and the cream was soon
through the mill and in the churn below amono
the whirligigs which would soon gather the but
ter.
1t was to be so short and easy job, this churn-
ing, that ''father' said he would do it. So he
turned away awhile, then shifted hands thor
changed back, and at length began to think it was
a long six minutes. Then one after another of the
''women folks" tried the thing; then the hired man.
hearing the clatter came in ''tO see the fun" and
he took hold. And then-well then after three
a frDn 1,- a.,
was-"Wel, 1t has come at last;" and after little
more work to gather it, the butter was taken out
not particularly yellow, and decidedly soft 1t had
been agltated long enough to make it so. The six
minutes churn had failed to do the work in eight
time six minutes.
'.Ah well, but we churned cream, and the man
said 1t would churnmk better than it would cream.
Let US try it with milk
SO the two last milkings were BROUGHT m and
poured into the hopper, and ground through the
mill, and then agitaed; yes, agitated with first one
hand and then the other till one was tired, and
then another took his place, and then another and
so on tor hall an hour and 10 butter. Three-uuar-
ters OF an hour, and no butter. An hour, and no
butter An hour and quarter, and then there
was some little show, and it was gathered and ta-
Ken out, and proved about one-fourth as much as
the cream from the same quantity of milk would
have made. But the buttermik was rich decided
ly so, for after standing over night, the cream was
nearly an inch thick. And thereupon it was unan-
imously decided that all patent churns are patent
Huhougs, anu general demand came from the
butter-making part of the household for an old
fashioned dasher churn. However, the purchase
of one being delayed little, second and third
churning was put through the patent one, not in
SIX minutes to be sure, but as thatwas longer
expected, the forty to sixty minutes was more pa
tiently endured. Once, the butter actually began
to come in fifteen minutes and several times it has
been finished in thirty; but never in one minute
less time than any other churn would require
The only advantage yet discovered is that the
churning can be done with little less expenditure
OF strength. If that is object, buy patent
churn-no matter which-and use it till you are
tired. Probably you will then come back to first
principles, and the dasher, and be as ready to be-
lieve as we are, that butter cannot be made by
steam, with railroad speed, if it is that it will
be only fit to oil the axles. Not more than three
fourths of the butter, moreover, will te obtained as
could be got from milk set in six-quart pans in a
still, cool room, until it begins to sour and then
SKINNED and churned in the old way.

puff OF patent churns.
