excellent method of removing all of
its fbrin and filth of the milk that is
common to all centrifugal machines. !"
The Chicago Breeders Gazette refers
to the machine as follows: "In an
other column of this issue is an inter
esting description of the wonderful
butter extractor as given by its in
ventor, Mr.. G. Johansson, of Stock
holm, Sweden, and bit of valuable
testimony from the American Dairy
man as to the ability of this machine
to meet the claims made for it. There
seems little reason to doubt that all
the intermediate processes between the
drawing of the cows milk and the
working of butter, which in the past
have demanded so many appliances,
so much time and so great skill, have
been efectually dispensed with by
this invention. Now if some genius
would be good enough to invent a
machine which will as expeditiously,
thoroughly and skillfully milk COW
as dusty six months old bull calf.
The Gazette doubts not that many an
indolent farmer could be induced to
go into dairying, kindly allow his wife,
of course, the privilege of superintend
ing the operations Of the mixer and
the butter extractor and of working
the butter"
The Agricultural Gazette of England,
in the cautious manner common to
English journals, says: "In the annex
the greatest interest was attracted by
the working of one of the most re-
markable of the novelties in the show
yard, the " Butter Extractor" manu-
factured by the Extractor Company,
of Stockholm, and exhibited by the
Aylesbury Dairy Co. A machine
which will run out butter continuously
at the rate of a pound minute, if
fed with fresh milk, is calculated to
produce a sensation. Whether expe-
rience will prove it's results to be
satisfactory or not, it's performance is
certainly creditable to high degree
to its inventor. The best judges of
butter, as rule, prefer it made from
ripened cream; but Londoners and
many other people have acquired a
taste for the comparatively favorless
produeSnaae from fresh cream and
quite likely the new machine will
come in common use to meet their re-
quirements.
Tue butter extractor has been on
exhibition in Westerns, the principle
exhibition point in Sweden where it
obtained a gold medal and diploma
of honor, at the Royal Agricultural
Society show at Windsor where it re-
ceived the highest award 1t was
here that on the 28th of January that
Queen Victoria, the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales personally congratulated
the inventor upon his success. It has
been exhibited here in the United
States at various places with great
success. Very probably it is destined
to overturn the whole method at pres
ent of making butter in large guam
titles.
The humble spring house, the shall
low pans of milk in the cool water
that emanates from our favorite
spring, the skimming, the churning
for thirty, forty and sixty minutes in
the high wooden or earthenware
churn; our joy at finally beholding
the golden globules begin to form:
All these, though they are entwined
in my fondest memories, perhaps are
destined to remain with us for long
days to come until we probably find
it beneficial to combine and build CO.
operative creameries, utilize the new
est inventions of the country, and
make two or three pounds of butter
where we now make one-third or one
half pound
"In union there is strength" and
this is true, as much in cooperative
creameries as in petroleum or cotton
seed oil t usts. II. B. BATTLE,
