paper. We suggest further that the
farmer write both of these separator
makers for their pamphlets or other
printed matter calculating this subject
Of separators.
The manufacturers, in our judgment,
make a mistake in not having their
machines on exhibition at such centers
of trade and population as Montpelier.
Seeing is believing, and the dairyman
is more likely to become interested and
to buy if he can make personal in
spection of the machine, learn how it is
operated, and all about it. We COM
mend both of the companies named TO
the attention aud confidence of every
farmer who has become tired of carting
milk up hill and down dale, often over
rough or muddy roads, with the expense
of time for help and team, and cost OF
wear and tear; and who has become
tired, also, of slow and wasteful pro.
cesses of cream raising and skimming
Read their advertisements, and write
them for their publications or any fur
| Their information desired. Take an in

seize any opportunity to "put money

Cream SeparatOrs.

For several weeks two trustworthy
makers Of cream separators have been
calling the attention of the farmers, on
page six of the WATCHMAN, to the
good points of their respective ma
chimes
In the course of the evolution OF
the creamery, a separator has been
produced for the use of the individual
farmer. 1t is designed to save him the
cost of transporting to the creamery
often at distance of several miles
the product of his dairy in its bulkiest
form, milk, and carting back about the
same bulk in skinned milk, by enabl-
ing him to do the separating at home
and carry only the cream to the cream
cry. If this can be advantageously
done there is of course great saving
to the farmer. Instances have been
published in the farm department of
the WATcHMAN showing that these
separators have been successfully used
by farmers whose progressive and en-
terprising spirit has prompted them TO
make trial of the machine. These il
Illustrations have come, not from a dis
lance, but from dairymen within the
WATcHMAN's immediate constituency.
They can be readily verified and their
trustworthiness determined. These
separators are made to be run by hand
power, or by dog or sheep power, or by
water power, if the farmer has such
power and the enterprise to put it to
use.
AS we have said, the Vermont Farm
Machine Company of Bellows Falls,
VT, and the DeLaval Separator Com
pany of the city Of New York, whose
New England agent is the Moseley g.
Stoddard Manufacturing Company of
Rutland, VT, have been advertising
these separators in the WATCHMAN
during the winter and spring months,
and their advertisements appear in this
issue of the paper. If any farmer has
not been sufficiently alive to his inter-
ests to study the publications of these
companies, we suggest that he look up
the back numbers of his paper and see
what effort has been made to interest
him and to make dairying easier and
more profitable for him, for new ad-
vertisement, covering some particular
point or feature of the question, has APP
peared in nearly every issue of the
