J. H. BUMP'S
ATMOSPHERIC ATTEMPERING
CHURN.

The subscriber calls the attention of Dairymen
and all other persons interested in the art of Butter making, to this improved Atmospheric Churn, patented by James H. Bump, of Morris, Otsego County, New-York, the 26th of October 1858.

It is a fact, that nine tenths of the Butter that goes to New-York and other markets of this country, is of an inferior quality; while some few dairys command high prices, the great majority of butter sells from 2 to 5 cents less on a pound. This is owing in a great degree to the apparatus used for making the butter.

It is this fact that stimulated the inventor of this new and useful churn, in his long study so to com- bine the essential motion for producing butter, with the required agency of the atmosphere, as to produce the
BEST QUALITY OF BUTTER WITH THE LEAST LABOR AND
IN THE SHORTEST SPACE OF TIME!

With much labor, study and expense, he has perfected a Churn, SIMPLE, CHEAP, EASY TO KEEP IN REPAIR AND OPERATE. And which on examination and trial, will commend its way to every one.

The "Scientific American"

Speaking of the Churn, says: "By it, a current of air at the proper temperature, is forced through the cream, "while the latter is being subjected to the process of churning; in order that a full supply of Oxygen may be obtain- "ed and all the Butter the cream contains may be separated in the best possible condition. Various attempts "have been made to effect this, but none have ever succeeded, until this; because most of them who have sought to * do this, have been governed solely by the desire to make money." This has not been the entire motive of the in- ventor; he desires to benefit the farmer, and in this he has been successful.

FARMERS, come and examine this Churn!

TEST IT BY THE MOST SEVERE TRIAL IN YOUR POWER, AND WE HAVE NO FEARS BUT YOU
WILL BECOME ITS PATRONS!

The Cheapness with which this Churn can be manufactured, is a great inducement for mechanics to invest money in it. A mechanic buying one Town Right of this churn, can control the sale of it, in the town for fourteen years, and we venture to say, that not a butter maker in the town, at the end of a quarter of that time, will be with- out one. Mechanics, come examine the churn.

Here are capital reasons why this Churn will supersede all others. 1st. It will churn with less labor, than any other churn. 2d. It will churn either milk, or cream. 3d. It will make more butter from the same amount of milk or cream, than any other churn. 4th. It will make better butter than any other apparatus known. And by these assertions the proprietor is willing to stand or fall Come and see this churn, and if it does not meet your expectations, do not purchase; but if it does, perform all it is here recommended to perform, seize the opportunity we present to you, to furnish it to the people of your town, and county.
