1t is characteristic with that class OF
people to lose their tempers and call
names because they have no good argu
ments and must depend on blufling.
Our ''woul be competitors" are
squirming terribly because the United
States beat the DeLaval in the Model
Dairy at the Pan-American, and are re-
sorting to all sorts of schemes to break
the force of the victory OF the United
States over the DeIaval Separator.
They say we put out 'what purports
to be a skimmilk record OF the work done
by the ~. S.. machines i'm the Model
Dairy We gave the exact statement
signed by the Superintendent Of the
Model Dairy, namely: Average test of
the u. S.-.0I3s.
They published statement also signed
by the Superintendent OF the Model Dairy
showing average OF .0l6l. The Super
intendent afterwards found he had made
an error, and stated over his own sigma
ture the correct average for the DeIaval
was .0172; but these s'would- be Compel
itors" do not correct the error, but con
tinue to advertise the figures which they
know to be wrong.
The DeLaval Co. published their Sec
ond period OF running, which was in the
best season OF the year, from August 9th
to September 2Sth inclusive. We pub
l1shedNour second period from September
10Th to October 30th inclusive. All
experienced dairymen know that the
Z. 5. had the hardest milk to separate, as
the cows were longer in milk, giving less
quantity, and cold weather coming on;
vet, with all these conditions against the
U. s., it excelled the DeLaval, as the
superintendent reports show. Ut also
beat the Delaval in the first period, after
adjustment.)
The DeIaval statement reads 'Tests
were from August 9th TO September 2Sth.
but the record books of the Model Dairy
show no record was made until the 18th OF
August. This gives them two DAYS to
adjust the machine under the friendly
expert operators before any tests were re-
corded.
Our tatement includes the first run OF
our machine with no time allowed for
adjustment.
The records after adjustment Of the first
period show that the United States beat
the DeLaval on these runs also.
The DeLaval Co., being aware they were
beaten in the first period, sent their
machine back to the factory to be fixed
over and improved, il possible, for a sec
ond trial. Their machine was one made
special for that work. The u. S. was
taken from regular stock and was re-
turned to its booth after the first run and
remained there until we were requested
the Model Dairy to put in the L. S. to
make a second run. We wondered why
the necessity for telegraphing such a re-
quest, but telegraphed back that we would
comply with the request. We learned
later that the DeLaval was shaking so
badly that it was not deemed safe to run
1t longer, therefore the necessity for
arranging by telegraph to replace it with
the u. S.
The DeLaval Separator is a top-heavy
machine filled with 40 to 80 metal discs.
and when they get out of balance, cause
trouble il continued in use. Therefore
the necessity for immediate change when
II begins to shake. They claim to run on
slow speed, but always, when in compe-
tltlon with the Z. s., attempt to run at
very high speed sometimes more than
% per cent. higher than they advertise
TO run. They know that their separator
cannot run at high speed long, so run il at
high speed only in tests with the Il. S.
The Y. >. is made more substantially,
and does stand high speed, and runs long
er and easier at its speed than the DeIavaI
does at its claimed slower speed.
The DeLaval Co. advertise a s'volun-
tary 90 statement purporting to be from
the engineer of the Model Dairy in which
he says lit took but one fourth as much
steam TO do our work with it CDeIavaD as
the United States used.n Such a state
ment IS SO ridiculous on its face that no
experienced dairymen would doubt that il
was voluntary on the part of the DeIaval
Co.

The truth is that Engineer Downv was
