sit is all in the dasher. can come
pretty near making butter out OF Lake
Michigan water with my dasher."
An old man who has the appearance
Of a farmer has room in the vicinity
of the board of trade, and like every
man who comes to Chicago he has a
scheme.
Did you ever have to churn when
you were a boy?" he asked of q re-
porter who stalked into his room. Il
know / had to-" he continued land
I've got the backache yet But now
churning is made easy. Why, / can
make butter as easy as you can fall Of
that chair, provided You want to fall
off. Why. say. There'n be churning
societies first thing you know. Only
last night took my patent dasher and
one of my small-sized tin churns down
on Michigan avenue. / had an en-
gagement TO call and show the dasher.
There were several society people who
had been invited out. You see how it
is Just as soon rs society people be-
gin to understand that they can make
butter in two minutes, and that's what
I'll warrant with my patent dasher,
they'll be having butter making par
ties in their parlors. AS l was saying,
/ went down on Michigan avenue last
night with my dasher and tin churn,
and when / went in the man said he
didn't have much milk. / told him
that didn't make any difference. OF
course. you know, suppose, that
the more milk you have the more
butter you get, provided the milk is
good. But he didn't have much milk.
So / put in some water, and then I
churned about four minutes. and when
/ was through / handed the man the
butter. Well, he thought there was
some trick about it and wanted me to
do it over again. It's all in the dasher,
and the dasher will work in any churn,
although tin churn is better than a
stone or a wooden one, because if the
churn is tin you can put it in hot or
cold water, whichever the condition of
the milk requires. I sell the churn if
you want it. But it is not necessary.
The dasher is. AS / said before, it is
all in the dasher."
At this point the patentee rested
while he went down into his overcoat
pocket and pulled ont a dasher. Then
ne filed glass jar with water, in
serted the dasher, and, as he raised and
lowered the dasher, ne explained, as he
smiled:
1.-The dasher revolves one way when
it goes down and the other way when
it comes up. In descending it creates
a violent whirlpool, which draws down
to the bottom large volume of air,
thoroughly aerating the contents Of
the churn. The up stroke creates a
similar whirl at the bottom, drawing
out the air and with it portion Of the
animal odors. These strokes being re-
peated bring the butter with great
rapidity and purify and gather it at
the same time. The dasher is simple.
1t is also handy for making eggnog."
And then, having amplified, he turn
ed with that complacency so character
istic of the man with an invention and
said: "If had some body to go in with
me on this, there's fortune in it. A
fortune, sir l know what it is worth.
It's all in the dasher. A man can take
this dasher into the country and make
money hands down. Chicago Tri
