ROTARY CONCAVE BEATER CHURN.
THE UNDERSIGN ED, having been appointed agent tor the sale of the above churn, in this
county, is now prepared to supply the farming community with the best article over made for
converting milk into butter. The principle upon which this chum is constructed is a philo
sophic one, and its great advantage over the common dasher or the barve! churn, will bo appa
rent upon examination into the principle involved in tho execution of each kind of cburt). ,fn
the old-fashior.ed churn, and all the SO CALLED IMPROVEMENTS upon it, butter is
produced in a longer or shorter time, according to the quality of the cream or milk, SOLELY
BY AGITATION of the contents of the chum while in the CONCAVE BEATER CHURN
in addition to the mechanical action of the beater upon the milk, a constant supply of atmos
phere air is forcibly carried through the cream or milk at every revolution, thus bringing into
contact with every portion of the milk, ihe oxygen upon the chcmical combination of which,
with it, the formation of butter depends.
The following are believed to constitute the advantages of this Churn overall others in use.
1. That, although embodying a great philosophic principle, it is the most simple churn ever
invented. 2. That it is the most convenient, useful, and substantial. 3. That the labor is
infinitely less (ban with any other. 4. That it will never fail to make good butter. 5. That
it will make butter from fresh milk in from 5 to 10 minutes. 6. That it will make butter from
some milk in from 4 to 8 minutes. 7. That it will maso butter from any unskimmed milk in
from 5 to 15 minutes. 8. That it will make butter from cream and milk prepared in the old
way, in from 3 to 6 minutes, some less time. 9. That it will make more butter out of the same
quantity of milk than any other churn or process.
A host of testimonials from tho Kentucky and Missouri presses, in which, with other Stales,
these churns aro superseding al! others, could.be adduced to show the value of the article, but
this is considered unnecessary, as one trial cannot fail to convince those most wedded to the
old, laborious, uncertain and vexatious mode of butter-making, of its vast superiority.
Any infringement of the patent will be promptly prosecuted by the Patentee. For sale by

PROSPECTUS
OF THB
IOWA PORTRAIT GALLERY.
rriHF. undersigned will commence tho pub-
J.
lication of an Administration paper, at
Dubuque, Iowa, on the 1st day of October
next, (or sooner, if sufficient encouragemeiit I
be given,) to be called the "Iowa Portrait
Gallery."
The liberal and progressive political doctrines
which prevailed in the Presidential canvass of
1848, cannot be mistaken they wiil be zeal
ously supported iu this Journal. A liberal
system of Internal Improvements, and the
great interosts of Labor, Agriculture and Com
merce demand, and will receive a large share
of the Editor's attention. The '•Portrait Ga.1
lei'iy will be firmly, decidedly, and substan
tially Whig it will address itself to the mass
les in plain, straight-forward, unmistukable
anguagc it will avoid all mystification, and
will be worthy of the support of those who
have imbibed tho progressive spirit of the age.
It will not be subject to the control or dicta
tion of any Clique and the mere fact of any
public man or men acting with the Whig or
any other party, will not prevent iiis or their
public acts being discussed in it as they de
serve. Extreme u/traisms will be studious/y
avoided—the preservation of the L'NION being
deemed of paramount importance, and of far
greater moment than any question now agita
ted by tli-puZitica/ parties of the day. With
a view, a/so, to niaUe the paper an acceptab/e
fami/y companion, cach number Will contain
se/eetions from the most popu/ar Magazines,

WE,
We take this method of informing the pub
lic, that we have, at a great expense, purchas
ed the right of the "Trovilie Patent" «f tho
proprietor, John Mclntire, Esq., of St. Louis,
to be used by us exclusively within the city and
county of Dubuque.
The above patent-right consists of a new
and highly important improvement for the
mixing and preparing of whito lead, and all
sither colors, applicable to every color without
the use of alcalies of any description, whereby a
whiter, handsomer, and mote durable paint is
produced.
The said improvement is now in successful
use in most of the large eastern and southern
cities, and the right haB been purchased by the
U- S. government for the use of the Navy De
partment, after having given it a most satis
factory and scrutinising trial.

yoars, and hope, by strict attention and punc
tuality to business, to merit a continuance of
such prt.ronage. I
All who aro acquainted' with the nature of
white lead and oil, know that they have no af
finity for each other—that, mix them as tho
roughly as possible, they will separate on
standing a few hours, tho lead sinking to the
bottom, the oil remaining, clcarand pure, on
the top.. If, then, anything can bo added to
them, h. wit u in u r'ng tho body oith-J
pa'nt, will cause the two to. unite, without the
power of afterwards soparating. IT MUST BE
MADE MORE DURABLK and such is the effect of
tins wonderful improvement, unsurpassed in
importance by any discovery of thi* progress
ive age. All', therefore, desirous of having
painting done in an ilegant and durable man
