618. The implements and machines used for working butter 

 are the farm dairy lever-worker, the power table-worker and 

 the combined churn and worker. 



The amount of working that butter should be given with 

 each of these workers must be determined by observations made 

 during the buttermakers' daily work, either by allowing a cer- 

 tain number of minutes working with a lever worker, or a num- 

 ber of revolutions through the rollers of the other workers. 



The table workers are usually allowed to make from 25 to 

 30 revolutions and the combined churn workers about 16 revo- 

 lutions. 



These figures cannot be adooted as sure guides to inevitable 

 success artd no figures cai be authoritatively given as the un- 

 varying standard for this purpose, but those mentioned may 

 aid beginners in establishing uniform methods of working which 

 are best suited to the condition of the butter in each case.

619. Nearly all creameries have now replaced the two 

 pieces of machinery formerly used in butter making, the box 

 churn and the table butter worker, by the combined churn and 

 worker, in which both operations of churning and werking are 

 carried on in one machine. The introduction of the combined
