A fact that should be Of interest to every
practical dairyman has just come to oui
notice. One of our dairymen who recently
had a separator set into his house on tria
to determine whether its purchase would bt
a paying investment, made the following
experiment: The milk of eight cows Zone
milkinR), after an open setting of forty
eight hours. was thoroughly skinned anG
then run through the separator, and one
half pound butter made from the cream ex
tracted by the separator. A matter Of $50
or $50 per annum, from a dairy of eigh
cows, speaks for itself in favor Of The sep
arator over the open setting. Surely, it il
fact worthy Of notice that our best farm
ers are becoming convinced that the cream
separator, Instead Of being a luxury, is
necessity.
