SELECTIONS, 



Description of a Swivel-headed Churn Staff, to facilitate 

 the making of Butter: by Mr. Timothy Fisher^ of 

 Ormskirky Lancashire,^ 



Sir, 



I beg leave to lay before the Society of Arts, &c. my 

 swivel-headed churn staff, which, on repeated trials, is 

 now fully proved to answer the very desirable purpose 

 of relieving the hard labour of churning ; which it does 

 in a much greater degree than could be supposed, 

 from a slight view of its simplicity and apparent small 

 deviation from the common churn staff. It however, 

 passes with much more ease through the cream. It 

 must be worked much slower than the common, other- 

 wise it is found to churn the cream too soon, or ac- 

 cording to the technical term in this county, to sruelt it.

 guineas were voted to M\\ I'isher for this invention.
