How to Keep a Churn from Frothing Over.

Hati’Eniko one day to visit the house of a friend who kept a cow and made but ter, I there saw a simple method he used to overcome the great trouble ot all butter mnkers using the old fashioned nprigbt chum, viz..- the ovcrfl<rt?l)ig of the cream during the process ofTtoUrning. His plan was ns follows: Take the body of the churn and cut a groove around the inside of the mouth, almut three inches from the top and three eights of an inch deep, and then remove half the thickness of the wood, making a shoulder all around; then take the cover and cut it to fit nicely in side, and you have now done sway with all the old nuisances of cloths, tubs, pans, etc,, heretofore required to save the cream that Mowed over. Any man, almost, can do this, or the chum may be taken to a carpenter and treated for a few cents. Many an idea (if less consequence than this, is patented, but all may take this one for what I gave for it.— W. A. Maekeruie, in Scientific American,
