Separators and Butter.

1850 49, Sop6F8tOrS anu B0CCefs
The farmers in the vicinity of Prince
ton are interested at the present time
separators, and the old adage, Dis
lance Lends Enchantment," seems to be
quite apt in this connection. A. Min
neapolis firm that pays two cents UNI
der.New York prices for farmers but
ter tat, is interesting many farmers in
this vicinity in the proposition to put
IN 9 separator known as the Iowa sepa-
rator and ship their cream to Mime
aPolls where they are guaranteed two
cents under the New York price. It
IS to the farmers interest to get all he
can for his cream, be it in Minneapolis,
Princeton or some other market. It is
also to his interest to ascertain whether
by buying one of these Iowa separators
he is getting all the cream and butter
fat possible from his milk, and also
whether by shipping his cream to out
side points he is doing any better, or
as we'll, as by selling right here at
home to Bridgeman & Russell. who
are operating the Princeton creamery.
Bridgeman & Russell think they are
in position to pay the farmer just as
much for his cream as any other
buyers and they further state that
since they have operated the cream
cry here they have always paid
the farmer better than two cents
under the New York price for his
cream. The records will show it. Last
January they paid at the Princeton
creamery 234 cents net as against 25
cents at New York. They stand ready
to pay one cent under the New York
prices for all cream here at Princeton,
and are not particular whether the
farmer brings in his milk, or cream
from his own separator. Mr.. Bridge
man says that there is no question
where farmers have many calves to
feed but that hand separator is the
thing to have, but he thinks farmers
should be careful and see that thew
buy a separator that will get from the
milk the largest percentage of cream.
His firm uses the DeLaval separator
which is Endorsed by the State expert
mental station and there is no better
separator made. Bridgman & Russell
intend to let farmers have a "Baby''
DeLaval separator and put it along
side of any other separator on their
farm for trial. They are not agents
for any separator but if farmers are
going to place a separator on their
farms they desire to see them have a
machine that will give them the'most
profit. They also state that they dc
not intend to cease doing business at
Princeton, as has been stated, and wish
to-say that they will remain in business
here so long as there is any business to
be done. They are on this market for
cream and propose to pay the highest
market price for the same, but they
are not selling separators and are not
interested in any, other than to have
farmers put in separators that will pay
them the best in the long run.

Curious Coincidence.

The theory that great men are usu-
ally born in the cold half of the year,
from October to March, inclusive,
gains point through the fact that 10
OF the presidents of the United States
we're born in the cold months, while
6 had birthdays in summer months.
The month of February is said to have
given us the worlds greatest men, and
it is notable that February was the
birth month of both Washington and
Lincoln. If you weren't born lucky,
drink ''Golden Grain Belt" beer. It
tones up the system and makes one
strong and happy, and such people are
pretty likely to be successful in spite
of the lucky birth. Order of your near
est dealer or be supplied by Henry
Veidt, Princeton.
