No. 225.—The New Blanchard Churn. 
— Price $8.00. — The makers, Porter Blanchard's 
Sons, Concord, N. H., claim that this is superior to 
all other churns. The action of the dasher is such 
as to cause agitation of the cream hy creating cur¬ 
rents, and not by beating or friction of the cream. Pour 
motions are given to the cream by one revolution of 
the crank. A reverse motion of the dasher gives a cam 
pressure to the butter by which the butter-milk may be 
worked out, and the salt worked in, without removing 
the dasher. Facility of removing the dasher and getting 
at the butter. Ease of cleaning, the form of construction 
exposes the inside without any inaccessible or invisible
