butter in the process of converting milk into
butter.
Having fully described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is-
A churn comprising a suitable vessel or jar, a
perforated top provided with a funnel-shaped
guide to prevent waste of milk, a dasher con-
sisting of an inverted perforated cup-shaped
agitator provided with a tubular handle, an
air-valve located in the upper part of said han-
dle, a plunger mounted in said handle and rest-
ing and being easily movable on the bottom of
said vessel and cooperating with said valve to
force air into the milk and butter and prevent-
ing butter from rising up in said handle, and
a float penetrated by said handle and cooper-
ating to collect the butter in a mass and to pre-
vent the same from displacing said top.
In testimony whereof I set my hand, in the
presence of two witnesses, this 22d day of Sep-
tember, 1903.
