The BrinkerliofT Ciinrn. 
" We have long despaired of finding a patent Churn, which 
would in all essentials surpass the old dash churn, but be- 
lieve we must succumb at last. If we mistake not, the Brink- 
erhoff churn will prove the long sought desideratum among 
butter-makers."— IJural New Yorker of 18ij3. 
"The Brinkerholf Churn seems to stand the test well ; we 
have lately received several communications In its favor in 
answer to an article lately published In the Rural. We arc 
glad to know that the churn has maintained the character 
we gave it when first introduced"— Kural New Yorker of lS6n. 
"Tliis Churn bus, for the last three years, stood the only 
decisive test, that of actual use in good dairies, and has come 
out approved. There can be no doubt of Mr, Briiikerhofi's 
having distanced all competitors, and his churn must iURvi- 
tably come into general use. It not only reduces tlie once 
lahorions and tedious business of churning, to a few minutes, 
but it actually attains a better result, than can 
be reached by the old process. So much we can say after 
using this churn for years."— Northern Independent, K. V.
