American Churn!
A Mason County TnventionI

"a MaSol county lnVenTlon!
THIS CBurn is OF the Vertical Dasher
i class, and is superior TO ANYTHING now
offered to the public. have sketches OF
other Churns from the Examinerat Wash
ington and have found no prototype ofmy
Churn in the Patent Office. During the
time was engaged in constructing this
Churn il was my sole object to present
something to the public that would accom-.
plish that for which il was intended, and
at the same time to present something Ell.
tircly new, something that would supply
the wants OF churn users, which | believe
has been done by the invention OF the
American Churn. 1t is so constructed as
to require little motive power, and ut the
same time is very effective upon the
cream.
The peculiar formation OF holes in the
semi'circular dasher, which are bored lii
agonally from each side toward the center
i'll such way us to direct the cream pass
ing through toward the center as they are
alternately moved up and down. BY this
peculiar construction the cream passing
through the dasher is thrown into violent
agitation with but little effort on the part
OF the operator. The dasher-rods are pro-
vided with grooved guide rollers which
greatly diminish the friction of the parts.
The advantages may be summed up as
follows:
First. The construction is such as to beycry
easy to operate; second. BY the arrange
ment OF parts the cream is thrown into vio-
lent agitation, while the currents are set
up and instantly broken, so that the but
ter is brought with great rapidity; third.
The construction is such that it can be
easily cleaned, there being no pivot in the
bottom Of the vessel whereby dirt is crea-
ted by the continual wear OF parts. In
deed it is as easy to clean as the old-iash-
toned churn. a failure in this is wherein
many inventors have erred; fourth. The
driving mechanism is not connected with
the vessel; hence any kind or any sized
vessel can be used, thereby dispensing
with the necessity OF throwing aside old
vessels; fifth. There is no loss of cream
during the process OF churning by lemons
passing through the side, as is the case
with some churns. Neitherdoes the cream
splash out; sixth. This churn will last for
years, and is not likely to get out OF order;
seventh. No jerk is felt by the hand us
motion is conveyed TO the dashers by spur
gearing, and the cranks being diametrical-
y arranged, permit the parts to balance
themselves; eight. This churn is suited to
churn users OF every day class, as n larger
or smaller vessel can be used; ninth No
pains have been spared 10 make this churn
complete il every respect-neat i'll appear
ance and perfect in workmanship; and
tenth. This ciurn makes more butter than
the old plan.
I would remark that have given this
subject thorough study; and, have for some
time past, devoted my attention TO it-nev-
or losing an opportunity OF making my
self more acquainted with the wants Of
churn users and the best mode OF supply
ing them.
The public, have therefore, a guarantee
that this churn is based on scientific prin-
ciples, by one who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the mechanical principles which
undcrle all mechanism.
can therefore recommend this churn
with the greatest confidence, being per-
suaded by past experience that they will
give general, il not uni,ersal SATISFACTION; but
at the same time l do not claim that it will
make butter OF water, or n pound of but
ter from pint OF milk. Yet, can truly
say, that am unacquainted with any
mechanism that has been so universally
admired
The use of this churn is not confined to
the illiterate and credulous, for persons OF
intelligence and character, too honest to
impose upon others, and too sagacious to
be imposed upon not only use, but recon-
mend them to Others in the highest terms
OF praise. But discarding all other con-
siderations. |. in conclusion, earnestly dc.
sire all to carefully examine and determine
for themselves the value OF my assertions.
