NO OTHER MACHINE OR.
implement used on the farm
receives anywhere near such
constant use, nor is there, any
other farm machine- or equip
ment with which quality of
work means so much and first
cost means so little.;
IF THE SEPARATOR : RUNS
hard, gets out of order or
isn't easy to wash, it's a con
stant bother, and it only takes
a yery little loss of cream at
each separation, when multi
; plied' 730 times, to run into
a good ieai oi money, .vciy
soon more than the original
, cost of the machine. Butno
matter how small the loss, it is
. too big a handicap for any
cow owner to try to work with.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, ,
the men who know most about
cream separators, the cream
erymen, long ago came to the
conclusion that the De Laval
was the only machine they;
could ; afford' to ' use.; Thats
why 98 of the cream sepa-
rators used in creameries and v
milk plants the world over are -
De Lavals.
NO MATTER WHERE .YOU
go you will find the biggest
- and best' dairy men .almost in- ;
variably are De Laval users. -Experience
has - taught them .;
that it is the best and most
, economical cream separator.!-
' ... " '' , ' '
YOU DON'T 1 HAVE TO
experiment with cream sepa
rators any more because the
men who are best able to,
judge as to the. merits of the
cream separator have already
done that for you, and the
result of their conclusion is
- evidenced by the practically
exclusive use of the.De Laval
. in creameries and, milk plants
and the fact that over 1,750,000
farm and dairy size De Lavals
-more than : all other makes
combined are in daily use.

Tliis cah best b donebyj providing

for farrowing, raise most pigs.
When one happens to raise . a large

before the calf sucks wash, oft the.
soiled parts of the cow and the ud

some one of the many coal tar disin
fectants on the market to 50 parts of

the calf is born, apply full strength
of the disinfectant to the navel cord.

is thoroughly dry and healed.

More young colts probably die from

Avoid - overfeeding the mare the first
two weeks, and if she is a heavy
