Ifo. 22 American Wonder Machine. 
Given for Ten Subscribers. 
This machine was exhibited at the great 
New York Dairy Show last spring. The 
claim was publicly made that it w ill produce 
good butter from whole milk in three minutes. 
We watched the operation and actually saw 
it doue. The butter was of good quality. The 
yield was noteaual to that made from an equal 
quantity of milk churned iDa common churn, 
out the milk left after the butter was removed 
was sweet enough to be used for cooking or 
drinkiug purposes. The machine will be very 
useful in families where the milk from one or 
two cows is to provide butter, and milk for 
cooking and drinking What corresponds to 
a dasher in the ordinary churn is. in the 
“Wonder,” a fluted revolving paddle. By 
means of a series of cog-wbeels, this paddle is 
revolved with great rapidity. The machine 
can also be used as an ice cream freezer. The 
size we offer holds two gallons and casts #10. 
It is made by F. A. Frank, New York. 
desired, the unlk in the tubes can be churned 
so that the actual arnouut of butter in the milk 
of any cow can lie accurately determined. When 
this is found, it is an easy matter to figure out 
her worth as a butter producer. Every man 
who owns a herd of cows and expects to im¬ 
prove them should have oue of these little ma¬ 
chines. Thev cost $2 each, and are made by 
Wyman L. Edson, Union Centre, N. Y.

home-made pounder, a piece of log on a broom 
handle. It was hard work and a large pro- 
portiou of the shells and bones were only 
partially broken up, or pounded into the 
ground. These little mills have saved usmoney 
and made the work easier. Ttiese mills are a 
complete success for crushing oyster shells, 
grinding bones and all kinds of grain including 
corn and cob. It will grind a peck of shells, 
or bones, iu from 12 to 15 minutes. Whole 
oyster shells can be put in the mill as well as 
bones of the same size. Ir. is adjustable, grind¬ 
ing either coarse or fine. The smaller mill 
without legs weighs 35 pounds and is sold at 
the astonishing low price of #5. It will pay 
you to get one of these mills aud hire a boy to 
gather up the old bones about your place and 
grind them up for poultry. For further par¬
