In the hands of a discreet butter-malcer this is the most satisfactory American worker. It received a special dij)lom:i at the New York Dairy Fair of 1878. Several butter-workers have been patented in the United States depending upon the roller ojjcrated by a crank. The best of these is the Cunningham butter-worker (Fig. 257), made and sold by AVhitman and Burrell, of Little Falls, New York. A rectangular frame on strong legs carries a traverse which is moved back and forth the length of the frame, by sliding it with the hand, or by turning the crank. The crank also turns a fluted roller. AVithin the frame is ])laced a wooden tray, fitted to it and holding the butter; this remains in place (luring the working, but can be at once re- moved. The crank and roller do the work, and compensating springs at the ends of the roller regulate its pressure according to the consistenc}^ of the butter. This implement received a diploma at the first International Dairy Fair at New York. The price for one with capacity of 30 lbs. is 8 dollars. Lilly's patent (Fig. 258) is the best of the American rotary butter-workers. By simple gear- ing the crank revolves the butter-bowl and also the ladle or grooved roller. The shape of the latter is peculiar, pressing the butter into ridges as it passes under, which on the next turn of the bowl are crossed diagonally by the roller. There is no metal which can possibly come into contact with the butter. The bowl is concave, so the butter- milk all tends towards the centre, where it passes down through a hol- low s])indle fo a vessel ]ilaccd below. The ma- chine can he taken apart in a minute and thoroughly cleaned with ease. On de- taching the roller, the bowl can be removed from the frame and set away with the butter. This worker is made by C. H. R. Triebels, of Phila- dol])hia, in thr
