AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
No. 2 I O.—Family Electric Lighter.—A 
useful and interesting scieiuiiie apparatus. A battery, 
partly filled, is so arranged that on pressing down the 
knobF] the zinc is immersed, a current of electricity is 
produced flowing through the wire F, and the small 
coiled platinum wire 0. This heats it intensely so 
that it ignites the wick of the lamp H , almost instantly. 
This lamp is filled with common kerosene oil, and may 
be carried around, or used to light other large lamps, gas 
jets, etc. On removing the finger from F, the zinc rises 
out of the fluid, stopping the waste. It may be repeated 
some thousands of times, and then only requires a few 
cents worth of materials from the druggist to renew the 
liquid, for other thousands of lightings. The apparatus 
can stand on the mantle shelf or other convenient place, 
always ready for instant use. instead of matches, saving 
their cost, their sulphurous fumes, and the danger of fire 
fr@m having them around. It goes complete with all need¬ 
ed chemicals, safely packed in a box, 5X7X8 inches.

No. 220.—The New Blanchard Churn. 
—Of the many kinds of apparatus made for converting 
Cream into Butter, the Blanchard Churn, manufactured 
by Porter Blanchard’s Sons, Concord, N. H., stands 
among the best. The makers claim that the action of the 
dasher is such as to cause agitation of the cream by cre¬ 
ating currents, and not by beating or friction of the cream. 
Four 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 
all 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 
making the inside without any inaccessible or invisible' 
angles or corners. For Nine subscriptions at $1.50 each 
we will give one of these excellent churns [or, supply one 
for $8.00], the receiver to pay freight in either case.

unique, yet successful butter maker has won its way to 
popularity by its merits. The action of the Churn is 
such that a complete agita¬ 
tion of the cream takes 
place at every revolutionof 
the churn. After churning, 
the butter lies so loosely 
that the buttermilk can be 
drawn off and cold water 
putin for washing the but¬ 
ter, which is done by a few 
revolutions of the churn.
