PLANNING GREAT FAIR AT BRAT
TLEBORO.
Several special features will give un-
usual interest to the 18th annual Valley
fair which will take place Sept. 80 and
oct. !. The management is making a
determined effort to have this years
fair surpass all its predecessors in the
various departments, and the outlook
IL bright for a more complete show
than ever. One of the features of the
fair Will be the presence of two troops
Of u. s. cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen.
The troops will march to Brattleboro
from their barracks at the other end
of the State, and give exhibition drills
daily. The entries In the various de
partments bid fair to be larger thar
ever and of a much higher order in
point of merit. OF especial interest to
cattlemen will be the herd of Highland
cattle owned by Warner NJ. Van Wor.
den, a wealthy farmer of Westchester
county, ~. Y. This herd is the only
important importation of this breed ever
made into this country, and with one eX-
ception these cattle have never been on
public exhibition. Mr.. Van Worden
spent three months travelling through
Scotland and the Hebrides in the selec.
ton of these animals, and they are
claimed to be unrivalled as IA beef breed.
Their horns spread to a great width, and
their hair often grows to the length of
six inches or more. The herd will be
taken to the st. Lou exposition next
year, The Billings farm at Woodstock
has assured the management that II will

"Dog-Days" and
Cream Separator Fakirs

Every "dog-day" season one of our old time "tin- can" cream
er would-be competitors, of late years making a separator of
which 1t IS said that It's only good feature is it's sacrilegiously
taken name-the "U.S."-ls seized with a new advertising spasm
OF some kind and a desire to buy newspaper space for use in
imaginary self-comparison of itself with the DE LAVAL, in
which new fake it usually grows worse from week to week until
the DE LAVAL stoops to notice it's fairy stories.
First it was so-called Experiment Station fake "skim.milk rec.
ords' ; then a false representation of a Paris Exposition award
and a still more false one of the DE LAVAL machines not hav-
ing received the Grand Prize; then a garblcd report of the Buff
falo Exposition skim-mik tests and much lying about the awards
made there. And so it has gone for some years.
Now the latest fit of rabies of which this disciple of Ananias
is the victim is brazenly advertising that his machine can't skim
cool milk because of quickly clogging up will it, while he pleads
that it is wickedly cruel of the DE LAVAL agents to remind
buyers that there are frequent occasions when this is both con-
venient and necessary, and that the practical separator must be
capable of it, though only the DE LAVAL is with good results
Those who may have read the advertisements of our envous
little "teaser' should always keep these fundamental facts in
mind: The DE LAVAL machines received the only Regular
Award at Chicago, the only Grand Prize at Paris, and the only
Gold Medal at Buffalo. They have done the best work and are
held to be the best separators in every Experiment Station in
Europe and America. They are used by $3.50 of the experienced
4 creamery users Of separators throughout the world-and their
4 sales are ten times all other makes combined, while with a 500
I greater output every year 70. twenty years there has never been
i year yet in which the DE LAVAL manufacturers could meet
4 the demands upon them.
j This is a record of stone-wall facts which any of our pigmy
I would-be competitors are perfectly welcome to stand up and
I measure themselves alongside or butt their shortcomings into
4 whenever they may be foolish enough to attempt it.
i If any reader may not understand why a DE LAVAL SEP
! ARATOR is as much better than the best of its imtators and fol-
4 lowers are better than gravity systems a DE LAVAL catalogue
8 to be had for the asking will make the reasons plain.
