Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1901-12-13

Mexico is suffering from a serious
depreciation in the value of silver and
the adoption of the gold standard is
being seriously discussed.
Secretary of State John Hay refused
to answer questions concerning nego-
tiations between himself and Danish
agents in 1S991900, in connection with
a recent New York newspaper libel
suit, and is now threatened with a
charge of contempt of court. His re-
fusal to testify was based on the
ground that he had no personal knowl-
edge of the matters at issue and that
what knowledge he had, as secretary
of state, it would be highly preIdicial
to the interests of his country to make
public.

We LEAVE IT TO THE READER TO SAY
who Jugg'es,"
Who "Bobs up with one lie after another

1t is characteristic with that class Of
people to lose their tempers and cal
names because they have no good argu'
ments and must depend on btuUt"y.
Our "would-be competitors" are
squirming terribly because the United
States beat the DeLaval in the Mode
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 DeLaval Separator.
They say we put out what purports
to be skim milk record of the work
done by the u. S. machines in the
Model Dairy" We gave the exact
statement signed by the Superintend
ent of the Model Dairy, namely; Aver
age test of the U. S. Obs.
They published statement also
signed by the Superintendent of the
Model Dairy showing average OF .016l:,
The Superintendent afterwards found
he had made an error, and stated over
his own signature the correct average
for the DeLaval was DIP; but these
"would-be competitors do not correct
the error, but continue to advertise the
figures which they know to be wrong
The DeLaval Co. published their
second period of running, which was
in the best season of the year, from Au-
gust 9th to September 18th inclusive.
We published our second period from
September 29th to October Both inclu-
sive. All experienced dairymen know
that the L. S. had the hardest milk to
separate, as the cows were longer in
milk, giving less quantity, and cold
weather coming on yet, with all these
conditions against the I. S, it ex-
celled the DeLaval, as the Supern-
tendent's reports show 1T also beat
the DeLaval in the first period, after
adjustment
The DeLayal statement reads TESTS
were from August 9th to September
28th," 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 be
fore any tests were recorded.
Our statement 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.

forenoon. The work in the Model Dairv
was done before he got around in Ma
morning.
Now read what Mr.. Van Alstype. Sp,
perintendent of the Model Dairy oyer
his own signature, says in reference "a
power in September when the DeLayal
was running;
1--WE found the power insult
cient, and were obliged to puta
cutoff in the pipe leading up-
stairs to prevent the herdsmen
drawing on our steam at times
when we needed it for the dairy
work, and as the weather be-
came colder the latter part of
September, this trouble in
creased to such an extent that
one day, with both burners
lighted, we found our steam
entirely out, SO that tce intend
ed making a change before your
machine Nds put in, and we were
delayed week in order to get
the consent of the proper au-
thorities. We then used soft
coal, which did not give salts
faction, because it filled up the
fiues of the boiler, and We
changed to coke, which has
been eminently satisfactory.
Remember this was when theDeLayal
Separator was running and before the
q. S. was put in. They could not get
steam enough to run the DeLayal
This voluntary" q statement saws
further, that the u. S. had an ex.
pert to run it. p" He was in no sense an
expert, had never worked in a creamery
or dairy or attended a Dairy School or
Experiment Station. The DeLaval did
have experts to run theirs. Both ope-
rators were graduates and rank parti-
sans of the DeLaval, and were angry be
cause we objected to having unfair and
prejudiced operators run the I. S.
The DeLaval CO, advertise that our
Gold Medal was awarded Cd combined
exhibit of separators, Babcock Testers,
Davis Swing Churns, and other appara-
tus. " The official record reads: Gold

There are many superstitions about
