It costs 20 dollars. This is a great acquisition to the labour-saving apparatus of large butter-makers. A butter-worker oi an entirely different charac- ter was patented in the United States in INIay, 1877, by Charles A. Sands, of Burlington, Kansas. It resembles the English machine of Hancock & Co. A wooden tub (Fig. 260) has within it a metallic cylindrical screen with a few perforations ; the tub is two-thirds filled with clear water, and outside the screen broken ice is placed, in warm weather. The butter, taken right from the churn, is placed in a strong metallic cylinder, the lower part of which is finely perforated, and this cylinder is placed in the water, in the middle of the tub, being kej)t in position by radial braces. To the top of the cylin- der is fitted a follower wdiich is moved dowTiward by a large screw with hand-wheel, attached to a frame on top of the tub. The screw pressure of the follower forces the butter through the perfora- tions of the inner cylinder, and it tises in vermicelli form through the water within the screen, being washed and cooled thereby. This machine is, by the patentee, urged upon those who prepare re- packed or " milled " butter, but the fewer facilities such are given the better.
