A New Patent Compressing Churn. 
"C'EW of the ma- 
-*• ny recent in¬ 
ventions denomina¬ 
ted Churns, have 
merited the recom¬ 
mendations pub¬ 
lished by interested 
parties, and too oft¬ 
en the favorable 
opinion of the press. 
In fact, not m ue 
than one or two of 
the manykinds have 
been worthy of be¬ 
ing manufactured; 
the only object of 
the patentees seem¬ 
ing to have been to 
hawk about the country selling Patent Rights for what they could 
get, which once sold, ends its existence, so far as the public are con¬ 
cerned, the purchaser of the patents only regretting he ever meddled 
with it. 
On the contrary, our own course has ever been, to sell or recom¬ 
mend only such articles to the farming public, as we know from our 
long experience in selling and manufacturing, to be well worthy of 
the recommendations given them through" our advertising. The 
Kendall, the Thermometer , and the Common Dash churns having 
composed our assortment, for want of better kinds. 
Until the improved churn, represented by the cut at the head of 
this advertisement came to our notice, we have not offered any thing 
new. This, although a recent invention, has been thoroughly tested 
during the past season, by a goodly number of dairymen in Chenan¬ 
go and Orange counties, with unprecedented success ; so much so, 
that we hazard nothing in pronouncing it the most desirable churn 
now before the public. 
Its construction is simple, having four pairs of broad blades or 
beaters all confined together, so set as to pass edgewise through the 
cream, as represented in fig. 2. (end view,) these floats, when turned 
iu the direction of the arrow C, cause the cream to be compressed, 
and pass between the blades from a to b ; this motion being continued 
until the butter will not pass through the openings at b; then, by re¬ 
versing the motion, the bevel of the inner blade serves to throw the 
whole contents to the centre, where the butter rapidly forms into one 
solid mass, until the separation is complete. The flouts may be in¬ 
stantly removed, and the butter taken out. 
It received a Silver Medal at the fair of the American Institute, 
held at New-York, for being, in the opinion of the committee, the 
best churn ever offered for competition—nearly every other kind hi 
use being in the same exhibition. 
Some of the improvements in this churn, are:—There is no shaft 
through the centre. This form of float passes easily through the 
cream, and at the same time produces a greater amount of agitation 
than any others in use. This process of compressing and collecting 
the butter from the cream is not excelled by any previous invention. 
They are offered at about the same prices, according to size, as 
Kendall’s churns, and a liberal discount allowed to dealers. AU are 
warranted to give satisfaction, or may be returned.

THE AMERICAN FRUIT CUUTURIST,

tions of the principal American and Foreign Varieties cultivated in 
the United Slates. With 300 accurate illustrations. One volume of 
over 400 pages, 12 mo. Price $1. 
A cheaper, but equally valuable book with Downing’s was want¬ 
ed by the great mass. Just such a work has Mr. Thomas given us. 
We consider it an invaluable addition to our agricultural libraries. 
Wool Grower. 
We predict for it a very rapid sale ; it should be in the hands of 
every l’ruit grower, and especially every nurseryman. It is a very- 
cheap book for its price.— Ohio Cultivator. 
It is a most valuable work to all engaged in the culture oi fruit 
trees.— Utica Herald. 
It is a book of great value.— Genesee Farmer. 
Among all the writers on fruits, we do not know of one who is 
Mr. Thomas’ superior, if his equal, in condensing important mattes-. 
He gets right at the pith of the thing—he gives you that which you 
wish to know at once; stripped of all useless talk and twattle. No 
man has a keener eye for the best ways of doing things. Hence we 
always look into his writings with the assurance that we shall find 
something new, or some improvements on the old; and we are sel¬ 
dom disappointed. This book is no exception. It is full. There is 
no vacant space in it. It is like a fresh egg—all good, and packed 
to the shell full.— Prairie Fanner. Jan. 1, 1850.—3t.

Llood Opportunity for Situation. 
A GENTLEMAN in Eastern Va., desirous of engaging in other 
1 *• pursuits for S or 10 years, wishes to arrange with some intelli- 
gc nt, upright, industrious, persevering farmer, from the north,—one 
v ho can come well recommended in every way, to take charge of 
his farm on the 1st March next, for a term of years, upon shares. 
Said firm is within easy distance of the markets of both Peters¬ 
burg and Richmond, and near James river. It contains 500 acres— 
300 arable, well marled; 50 acres of unclaimed meadow, 20 re¬ 
claimed, 5 in grass, 150 well set in clover: is excellent wheat, coni, 
and clover land, and easy to work and improve. There is 100 acres 
seeded in wheat. The land is well adapted to grazing, and has a 
fine range for sheep. There is a young orchard—400 choice apple 
tiees, usual stock—utensils, &c.; good house, out-houses, garden, 2 
barns, 400 feet of shedding for stock, 2 welLs, &c. The farm is well 
watered. He wishes it converted, as much as possible, into a grazing 
and dairy farm. He will furnish 6 hands, and provisions for one 
year, and” furnituref in house. 
To any man who can come suitably recommended, and who is 
able to invest $2,500 in additional stock (cows or sheep,) and uten¬ 
sils, manures, &c., he will give one-fourth of the clear profits for ten 
} ears, and the value of the stock he put in at the end of ten years— 
c r refund $2,500, and pay for all permanent improvement during that 
t : me. The farm must be improved as much as possible—as may be 
contracted. In selecting cows, it must be with a view to dairy; 
sheep, for wool and mutton. Any one coming, should bring per¬ 
sons skilled in dairy management. A peach orchard would be found 
extremely profitable. The entire management, except permanent 
improvements and alterations, will be given up to the party agree¬ 
ing. Direet to P, Cabin Point, Ya. 
N. B. His reason for requiring an investment, is to make the party 
more interested. The farm can"easily be made to realise $1,000 a 
year, or more, by good management. Hay commands $1, to $1.25. 
Butter, 20 to 25 cents. The form is perfectly healthy.
