I doubt if there is any other implement on which more patents have been taken than on the churn, thus in the states 2,250 were taken out from 1800 to 1892, and yet how few new principles have been de- veloped. About 2000 years ago, Pliny de- scribed an up and down dash churn very much the same as the one yet made and sold in most countries (Fig. 31) in which just as good butter can be made as in the very latest "patent'' even though it does take more work. iFig. 31.) The Old Kussian Churn (Fig. 32) (from Martini's "Kirne and Girbe"), which is a stone jar in which the stirrer, pro- vided with anchor-like prongs, is twirled round and round between the hands, may be said to represent our modern revolving dash churns, of which the Danish (Fig. 33) represents the verti- cal and the "Blanchard" V\ w the horizontal system.
