bing it, but a small lever worker like Fig. 56 does not cost very 

 much, and if the lever is not rolled or rubber over the butter, but 

 used for pressing it, the result is very satisfactory. Another 

 simple worker not sold here, but easily made, consists of a wide 

 board with two strips of wood on either side and a corrugated 

 roller on a wooden shaft long enough to form handles and two 

 round pieces of wood which keep the roller about half an inch 

 off the board. The roller presses the 

 butter into a flat corrugated piece, which 

 is rolled up with the ladle and turned at 

 a right angle and worked again as shown 

 in Fig. 57. This also represents the way 

 to work butter on the rotary worker, which is illustrated by the 

 "Embree" (58) and one of the latest European modifications 

 made by Konstantin, Hansen & Schroeder, of Kolding, Denmark, 



(Fig. 59). The one mostly 

 used in the western creameries 

 before the advent of the com- 

 bined churns and workers, 

 was the "Mason" but it was 

 not nearly as good as either of 

 those illustrated. Similar 

 workers are made by the var- 

 ious manufacturers and have 

 kept their ground in spite of 

 hundreds of modifications 

 (Fig. 56) which found favor as labor 



savers for a short time. In buying these workers in which the 

 table revolves one way and the rollers the other it is necessary 

 that their surface speed correspond exactly, if not, there will 

 be a rubbing motion, making the butter greasy.
