Hand separators are going to come in
to quite general use on the farms here-
abOuts. A considerable number OF far
mers already have them, and more are
saving up funds for the same purpose.
There is no question about their utility,
as being great savers Of time and money
They are worth all they cost as proyid-
ing warm, fresh SKINNED milk for the
calves. There isn't much difference in
the price, aud probably not much in the
quality Of the different makes. Anyhow,
it isn't the purpose OF this article to
champion any particular machine.
Nevertheless, it were we'll If the same
common sense which governs the pur-
chase Of any machine OF the farm should
apply to the buying Of o cream separ-
ator. The representations OF circulars,
catalogues. advertisements, manufactur-
efs and agents. should be taken at what
they are worth only. In certain local
titles OF Iowa and Minnesota the "baby"
separators ars in very general use. BY
writing to some person or persons at
such places, much can be learned of the
merits OF different machines, bearing in
mind that one would want to steer clear
OF those places where Que line of ma
chimes had been put out by some par
ticular company on time payments.
There are power machines that have
stood the test of time and experience,
and the respective merits Of the big fac
tory machines have been thoroughly de-
monstrated. The supposition is natural
that where power machine has demon
strated Its superiority over its rivals, the
hand machine of the same make is equal
ly as good. But OF this The GRAPHIC
does not Claim to know anything by ex-
perience.
But this it does know, that when the
creameriss were first started III this state
many OF them got caught for a good
many dollars through taking the word
of agents instead Of investigating the
merits Of machines themselves. 1t cost
four creameries to the writer's know.
ledge nearly 5000 10 change their sep
arators, every dollar of which was sim
ply wasted through the lack OF common
business judgement, Some of the bis
machines skim cleaner than others
skim colder milk and have mere capa
city. The smaller the machines and the
less milk handled the less OF course doe
this cut a factor.
4 We have talked with quite numbe
Of Iowa farmers who use hand separat
0rs and of one point they were all agree,
and that was to buy as large a machin
as could be afforded. When dalIymal
begins to use a hand separator aud de
liyers bis cream to n creamery. he find
that be eau haE.ile about double III
number Of COWS as when he deliyere
the whole milk and naturally increase
his herd. He wishes then that he ha
bought a larger machine,
