BUTTER WORKER
A very useful appliance, and easily operated, making the butter into a close-grained mass without injuring the texture of it. It is made of poplar, triangular in shape, with a corrugated roller. This roller fits in a hole made in a piece of metal which is put across the smaller end of the worker. This worker may be operated by putting it on the kitchen table, or it may be placed on adjustable legs.
