trial. Seven quarts of cream were put in, under Miss Smithard's 
supervision, and the temperature brought to 60 degrees. Butter 
came after vt^orking for 25 minutes, which was found to weigh 
5^ lbs. This was a small production, but doubts were expressed 
as to the quality of the cream. To churn 30 lbs. of butter, the 
price is 5Z. 
31r. R. T. Williams, of Waterloo Farm, Frome, Somerset, 
showed a Combined Butter Worker and Dairy Table. This 
machine works the butter by a fluted roller. All parts can be 
easily detached, readily cleaned, and converted into a weighing, 
moulding, and general purpose dairy table. It has a box at the 
end to contain dairy tools, salt, etc., which, when closed, forms 
a stand for scales and weights.

the travelling frame, the butter is worked into a fluted layer, and by bringing 
back the frame and reversing the handle, the butter is rolled up ready to be 
again passed under the roller. The centre of the roller being smaller thaa

the ends, the butter is higher in the middle than the sides, thus enabling 
any moisture on the upper surface to run olf to the sides, where, owing to 
the fall given to the tray, it rapidly passes away iuto a pail placed for the 
purpose at the lower end of the table. 
The springs are formed of india-rubber, which exert a soft and easy 
pressure, quite sufficient for extracting any butter-milk or moisture in the, 
butter ; but so gentle in its action that it docs not destroy or bruise the 
grain of the butter, thus ensuring its keeping quality. 
When the butter is projjerly worked and salted, by removing the springs, 
the roller and travelling frame can easily be separated and placed under the 
table as shown iu Fig. 9. Then by raising the lower end of the tray about
