showed a test OF twenty-four per cent.
Cream from the Sharples Tublar
showed a test of twenty per cent.
In justice to both machines it should
be stated that the milk was not all fresh
and when warmed up to So Fair. was
all sour. And in justice to the DeLaval
it should be stated that the milk was all
strained through cloth before enter
ing the Sharples machine which with
held the curd from entering their bowl,
thereby giving them decided advan-
tage in the test while the DeLaval made
the entire run without any such extra
straining, But in the final showdown
the Sharples had only 1-100 of one
per cent in their favor in the skim milk
test, while in the cream they fell down
to the extent of per cent
1t was then requested by Mr. Hinze
that the run on milk at 60 Fair be
made. But as is characteristic of the
Sharples they 'sfkicked over their traces
and fatty refused to run as requested
with milk at So Fair The DeLaval
people again started their machine and
finished the run to the satisfaction of
the crowd and Mr. Hinze for at the
completion of the run Mr. Hinze and
his wife stated that the DeLaval was
the machine they wanted and twas put
up in their house where the Sharples
had been for about two weeks and was
unable to stay, after the advantages of
the DeLaval had been shown.
By the following statement which
was signed by the parties who were
present and witnessed the contest it will
be seen that the universal verdict was
in favor of the DeLaval Baby" which
has always proven itself the ''warmest
baby in the bunch"
Webster, S, D., March 10, 1908.
We the undersigned hereby certify
that we were present at the cream sepa-
rator contest at the residence of Ferdi-
napd Hinze on March 10, 1903, between
the DeLaval Baby No. and the Skar-
Piles Tublar No. and that both parties

of milk at So Fair and one run of
milk at So Tahr. The Sharples expert
refused to run his machine with milk in
it at 65' Fair and the DeLaval We're
willing and did run as requested both
hot and cold. Mr.. Hinze bought the
Baby No. before the crowd left.

son, Fred Hinze, A. Hinze, Mrs A.
Binder, Mrs. Louise Hinze and Mrs.
VIM. Naessig.
In requesting the parties to make the
run ON cold milk, Mr., Hinze asked both
the DeLaval and Sharples people to run
their machines with milk at 65' Fair.
and that test be made of the skinned
milk from each machine from such run.
But the Sharples people would not do
this. He then told both parties that
neither machine should be removed
from its place until the milk was sepa-
rated. 1t was then that the DeLaval
Baby" No. came to the rescue and
SKINNED the cold milk as requested,
easily doing what the Sharples people
refused and seemingly could not do,
while the Sharples expert stood dole
fully realizing his complete and utter
defeat, and with the prudence of the
ARAB of Old, folded his tent and
silently stole away"
A fact that must not be overlooked in
connection with this contest is the utter
failure of all other so called cream
separator" to be present and show the
the interested dairymen whether or not
they have practical machine for the
farmer to buy. 1t shows beyond any
reasonable doubt that they realize that
they have no show in competition with
the DeLayal Baby. For the following
announcement appeared in both the
Webster papers for two issues previous
to the contest: Farmers and Dairy
men Attention: There will be a con-
test between hand cream separators at
the farm residence of Ferdinand Hinze,
miles southeast of Webster, on Tues
day, March 10th, at / o'clock sharp, to
bring ont the superiority of the various
cream separators. Everybody invited"
Signed by l.. G. Ochsenreiter, agent for
the DeLayal, and Potter & GaTrick,
agents for the Sharples Tublar To
this was added: Agents for all other
makes of cream separators are espec-
tally invited to be present with their
machines and participate in the con-
test.
Let them produce all manner or
excuses that they are capable of making
as TO why they were not represented
there, but the prospective purchaser Of
a cream separator should insist that
