WE LEAVE 1T TO THE READER TO SAY

The truth is that Engineer nou,,.
wae never present when the U. s. was
Inning with one or two exceptions
mnen MY Department was unable to
So sumclent steam to run as much as
d baDcock Tester until very late in tho
forenoon. The work in the Model
DAIRY was done before he got around
In the morning. 0onu
NOW read what Mr.. Van Alstvne
superintendent of the Model Dairy
over his own signature, saws in refer
ehce TO power in September when tbe
DeLaval was running:
we found the power insufficient
ana were obliged to put a cut-off
IN the pipe leading upstairs to pre.
vent the herdsmen drawing on orr
steam at times when we needed ~
Ior the dairy work, and as the
weather became colder the latter
part or September, this trouble in
creased to such an extent that one
uay, with both burners lighted. we
iounu our steam entirely out. so
that we intended making a change
before your machine was put in.
and we were delayed a week in
order to get the consent of the
proper authorities. We then used
soft coal, which did not give salts
faction, because it filled up the fines
Of the boiler. and we changed to
coke, which has been eminentlv
satisfactory"
Remember this was when the De-
LaVal separator was running and be-
fore the U. S. was put in. They could
not get steam enough to run the De-
Laval.
This voluntary" 90 statement says
further that the u. S. had an expert
to run it." He was in no sense an ex-
pert, 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 op-
orators were graduates and rank par
tisians of the DeLaval, and were angry
because we objected to having unfair
and prejudiced operators run the U. S.
The DeLaval Co. advertise that our
Gold Medal Was awarded on com
bined exhibit of separators, Babcock
Testers, Davis Swing Churns, and
other apparatus" The official record
reads: Gold Medal on U. S. Separator
Babcock Tester, Davis Swing Churn."
1t does not read on combined exhibit"
and does not use the word exhibit" in
any way. The reader will notice the
DeLaval Co. add the words combined
exhibit" land other apparatus" OF
course, to mislead in their endeavor to
break the force of their defeat.
We had in our booth nine separators
two Babcock Testers. and model Of
the Davis Swing Churn, but no full
sized churn. Out booth was Is feet
long by 10 deep.
We applied for larger space, but
were informed that the building was
limited in size and we must be con-
tent with what was assigned. We had
the smallest space of any exhibitor Of
separators. The DeLaval Co.'s booth
was 35 feet long by 10 feet deep and
contained 16 separators; therefore, If
our Gold Medal was on the exhibit. it
is equally true the DeLavaps was on
their exhibit. and as our exhibit was
less than half as large as theirs, wiz
the intelligent reader believe the De-
Laval statements that with less than
half the space and about half the
amount of goods, our award was on
display?
The work in the Model Dairy was
not finished until long after the Gold
Medals were awarded by the judges.
If the awards had been given on the
result of the work in the Model Dairy,
the United States would have had the
only Gold Medal, and the DeLaval an
award of second merit only, silver
medal as it came out second on the
work there.
The DeLaval Co. advertise that
more fat was lost in churning (by the
u. 81 than saved in separating" The
records showed that
Average test of the butterm1lk
from the United States was log
Average test of the buttermilk
from the DeLaval was.... III
The DeLaval was badly beaten again
in this line. The U. S. proved TO De
superior in every way.
The reader must not forget that the
DeLayal Co. have been advertising
for over a year that the DeLaval Sep
arator was awarded a Grand Prize at
Paris. but now admit in their adver-
tisements that this award was to the
"Societe Anonyme Separator" which
company exhibited at Paris butter
extractor called radiator, and did not
exhibit a cream separator.
