The Won,lerful ChUrn.

Such is the Kane Of n churn, patented by j.
l.. Spraguc, shown In Ottawa in room one door
west of Dickeys old stand, on Main street, by
Messrs. Weston, Seaman, &c, which purports
TO churp more butter OF better quality in less
time from q given quantity of milk than any
other churn now on the market Now, while
these are big claims, it is evident to the sight
that this is u mighty good churn. 1t claims TO
make butter in from > to 10 minutes: that 1t
leaves the butter granulated-the most desirable
form by all odds; and that it works the butter
milk out, and washes and salts the butter in
the churn. II certainly does do all this, and In
splendid style. On Thursday at churning but
ter was made in minutes, though the butter
milk showed only 81 deg, when the best heat
for rapid work is 81 deg. And in a very short
time-not over five minutes more, the butter.
milk was washed cut, the butter washed and
sailed tall done in the churp) in the most thor
ough manner, and the butter lifted out as beau.
tifully granulated as the most fastidious could
wish. A large number OF farmers were pres.
ent some OF whom said to us it was the best
thing OF the kind they had ever seen; and some
backed their faith by leaving orders for churns.
It is very evident the ehurn has decided merits,
and as churnlngs will be made this afternoon
and on next Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,
at T., o'clock p. NJ, our butter making readers
should take time to witness the process. They
will sell the right for this county.
