The AmerTacn Trades Compa-

utility, Who are unable to make independent
arrange nents for introducing their inventions,
| by an equitable arrangement with them for
their rights by purchase out and out, or by q
/ tariff on the articles manufactured and sold.
The inventive genius Of this country has long
called for an Institution of this kind. The
American mind is so active, that thousands OF
things are invented, many of which would be
really useful to the community. but which are
never introduced, because the Inventors OF
them have no means to carry them out.
The capital of this Company will DE devoted
to the development of really useful Inventions.
The Company have Committee on Patents,
whose duty it is to pass uEon all applications,
and from their large experience in such mat
ters Iul GEtarS have a security that their in
ventions will not be miSjudged and the high
character of the parties composing that Com
mittee is n sufficient guaranty that plans and
specifications may be submitted before patents
are applied for, without any risk of adyan-
tage being taken of this circumstance, and
when desired to do SO, the Company will take
out patents for Others securing for the inyen-
tor all of his invention that is patentabe
This Company respectfully invite inventors
to submit to them their plans and it will be
furthering the objects of the Company if its
officers and agents can he CT any service to
them.
Any one Of the following modes is acPepta
ble to this Company:
EFrSt To manufacture any articles for
which their machinery is adapted by contract,
the inventors receiving the artioils and paying
for the same on delivery.
Second: They bay any patent which Is ap-
proved of by their committee.
Third: They will manufacture and sell any
article which they choose to adopt, giving to
the Inventor such a proportion of thb prafts
as may be agreed upon.

the cream will mix with the milk and can
not again be collected. Now set it away
till quite cold and then skim off the cream,
mixed with as little milk as possible. =
When sufficient cream is collected pro-
cecd to make it into butter as follows -
Take wooden bowl, or any suitable YES
sci, and haying FIRST scalded and then rims
el it with cold spring water, place the
cream in it. Now let the operator hold
his hand in water as hot as can be borne
for few seconds, then plunge it in cold
water for about minute, and at once
commence to agitate the cream by gen.
tie circular motion. In five minutes, or
less, the butter will have come, when, Of
course, it must be washed and salted ac
cording to taste; and our correspondent
guarantees that DO better butter can be
made by the best churn ever invented
To those who keep only one COW, this
method of making butter will be found
really valuable; while quite as large a
quantity Of butter is obtained as by the
common mode, the skim-mlk is much
sweeter and palatabIe. In the summer
season 1t will usually be found necessary
- bring the cream out of the cellar (say
a quarter of an nour before churning) to
take the excessive chill off; in winter
place the vessel containing the cream over
another containing water to warm it; then
continue to agitate the cream until the
chill has departed.
Before Washing the butter separate ali
the milk you possibly can, as the latter
will De found excellent for tea-cakes, But
ter made in this manner wlll be much
frmer, and less oily in hot weather than
when made in the ordinary way.
