HOW To MAKE GOOD But
TER.

Knowing the demand all over the United
States for n perfect churn that will do away
with the tedious process of churning, Tighten
the labor and make n better grade of butter.
we have spent more time. thought and money
to invent. perfect and manufacture the
Dairy Swing Churn than has ever been spent
before on any churn in America.
We have bought, regardless of expenses
the most and best machinery that has ever
been purchased fer the manufactOry OF II
churn. And now with the capacity for
maxim. three hundred per lav. we are giving
the bnttermakers. far and wide, the benefit
Of the most complete churn III the world.
The Dairy Swim. Churn, shown by the
accompanyin. cuts, consists oi rOund-end
cd box or milk chamber suspended ar balan-
ced in u substantial frame in Il manner that,
with the least exertion, the milk chamber
can be- vibratc,l back and forth, and ut the
same time raising and lowering its ends.
which will agitatc the cream both by con-
cnssion and gravity-bringing the butter in
less time, with less labor, and less I'M Jnry
to the grain of the butter than any other
process krOwn to science or past experience.
| The demand for better grade of butter
has called attention to the fact that the
quality of the article depends very much
upon the churn in which il is made. IL is
now given up and thoroughly understood by
all buttermakcrs. who are up to the times.
that floats. paddles, dashers in u churn
are sure to injnre the grain of the butter.
The cream is whipped, beaten and thrashed
about until the texture of the butter is des-
troye,l.
All the dairymen and ladies who take any
pride in hutter-makia. are throwing aside
chnrns as fast possible. Aud now the
inquiry is for simple, cheap churn, that
will bring the butter by simply moving the
mass of cream. permitting the PARTICLES of
cream to come in contact with each other
only. The Dairy Swing Churn meets this
want and makes the most beautiful. grand
l"us butter, which will bring more money
in any market than thrashed ont by any of
the old proceSses

loved mother of the departed, and

DEATH OF COL. DIRICKSON.
He Expired ut His Home in Bcr-
lin Last Friday.-A Sketch
of His Life.

The sad intelligence Of the death OF
one OF WOrcester's oldest and most
respected citizens was brought to Snow
Hill last Saturday, from Berlin. On
Friday night Col. Levin l.. Dirickson
died at his home in that town very
suddenly from an attack of heart trouble.
His remains were laid 10 rest in the
Episcopal Churchyard, Berlin, ON
Tuesday afternoon, services being con
Quoted in the church and at the grave
by Rev. Howard. his pastor. The
funeral was attended by many people
from this and adjoining counties, as the
deceased was man of extensive
acquaintance and thorough gentleman
of the old school.
Levin l.. Dirickson was born in
Berlin, in 1923 and lived in this coun-
ty all of his life. He was lawyer by
profession, having been admitted to the
bar when quite young man, and was
engaged in active practice for many
years. being considered by the frater-
nifty trial lawyer" of more than or
binary ability. He was member Of
the constitutional convention of 1851
and took leading part with Hon.
Charles J. NJ. Gwinn in the debates of
that memorable conference. In 1859
he came to Snow Hill to reside and
shortly thereafter was nominated by
the Democrats for States Attorney, to
which office he was elected, defeating
for the position ne late Col. George
W. =. Smith. He held the Office four
years and would haze been his own
successor had it not been tor Federal
bayonets In 1874, upon the decease
of the late L. Howard Moore, then
States Attorney for the county, Col.
Dirickson was appointed his successor
by the court. In 1879 and 1888 re-
spectively he was renominated and
reelected to the same Office.
In the later part Of 1887 murder
Gus assault was made upon him by
Handy Rayne, a negro, whose object
was robbery. He struck Col. Dirick-
son on the head several hard blows
with a club and injured him so badly
that for time his life was despaired of,
but he finally rallied, and partially
recovered from the effects of the muir
derous assault, yet it is believed by his
most intimate acquaintances that his
days were materially shortened.
Col. Dirickson was a prominent men,
ber of the Masonic order of Berlin,
being Past Master OF Evergreen
Lodge of that town. and one of the
oldest members of that lodge. Mem
bers of the Order from Wicomico Som
erset and all parts of Worcester County
attended his funeral last Tuesday.
Col. Dirickson was an ardent Dem
ocrat. He started out in his political
career as Wing, but upon the disrup-
ton OF that memorable organization he
went over to the Democratic party,
which he acted with the remainder of
his life. He was forcible stump
speaker and as such was a valiant
soldier in many hard fought campaign.
He leaves a wife and six children,
three sons, Thomas, DIR. Edwin j., and
Levin l.. Dirickson, Jr., both of Ber-
lin; three daughters, the eldest of
which is the wife Of ex-Congressman
I. w. McNeely, Of Illinois, Miss Clara,
who resides with her mother and Mrs.
Harry Purnell, who resides near Berlin.
