balanced on a movable swing-axle in the centre. At the one end 
is attached a crank and wheel, which give it a tilting motion 
when the handle is turned, causing the cream to be thrown in 
two waves to the centre of the churn, the cream describing a 
figure 00 . The butter is produced by concussion, instead of by 
friction. Price 3/.

Messrs. Thos. Bradford Sf Co. also exhibited for the first time 
their Diaphragm Churn (Fig. 6, p. 626) ; it was tried with three 
gallons of cream, which it churned in 3.3 minutes. This is a 
revolving churn, working on roller-axles. There are two fixed 
dashers at each end of the churn, and a movable one that is 
slipped into the centre ; Messrs. Bradford & Co. provide two of 
these dashers, one for cream, and the other for milk, the latter 
one being more ladder-shaped to give the milk more friction. 
The removing this dasher, without drawing out some of the 
butter with it, involves some trouble, and it must necessarily 
be removed before the butter is taken out. The butter from this 
churn was not so firm in texture as that from the oscillating 
churn. 
Before closing this description of the Dairy machinery, the 
Judges would commend the stands of the Dairy Supply Company, 
1 and the Aylesbury Dairy Company, where every requisite for 
the manufacture of either butter or cheese could be seen ; and 
during the whole Show there were daily explanatory exhibi- 
tions of the different methods of butter-making. The Dairy 
i Supply Company exhibited a most ingenious Butter-printer, that 
I prints on four sides ; by compressing a lever at the will of the
