The Farm Separator Boom.

The following, taken from Fl recent
issue of "Hoard's Dairyman," will in
terest all dairy farmers:
alt is quite evident that the coming
evolution of creamery practice Is ir.
resistibly toward the separation Of
cream on the farm by the use of the
farm separator and the gathering of
the same by teams. The compelling
cause of this change is the saving of
labor and the cost in the transporta-
ton from the farm to the creamery,
and the very greatly increased feed
ing value OF the skim milk"
One cannot to-day pick up paper
devoted to agriculture or dairy farm
ing without finding written some
where in it's pages the same opinion
as that expressed above. The trend
toward farm separation is SO marked
that it appears to be question of
but few years when farmers who do
not own cream separators will be
practically unheard of.
The length of the transition period
will depend largely upon the action OF
CItdul0t lcb ouRuOuJ Uuo
try. Many large creameries formerly
run on the whole milk system have
recently changed or are about to
change, to the gathered cream sys-
TEN, and are advising their patrons
to use farm separators. The expert
ence of some of the largest creameries
in the world proves that this is a wise
policy to follow and when carried out
intelligently results in largely in
creased profit for both creamery IAN
and patron.
The hand separator boom is wide
spread, aud gathering force every
day. The farmer who Is ekeptical in
this regard should take a look into
the foe plant OF the DeLaval Separa-
tor Company at Pom ghkeepsie, AND
we don't hsitate to say that his
doubts would be removed by tn,
great activity that would be revealed
in every department OF this, the Inrg
est and best equipped separator fac
tory in the world. This company
makes the original centrifugal cream
separator, invented by the celebrated
Swedish scien fist whose name it bears.
which has had an uninterrupted, con.
stantly increasing success since its in
PRODUCTION twenty-five years ago.
At first the De Laval mac1ine was
made only in large sizes for power
use in Creameries, but some years
later the hand machine was market
ed and from the outset scored re.
N rka BILE success. The tremendous
growth of sales has made it impera-
tive to enlarge the capacity of the
De Laval works every year, and even
with constantly increased facilities it
has never been possible to accumu-
late u surplus of machines against
future orders. Indeed with the plants
capacity crowded to the utmost,
working day and night in every de-
partment, it is hardly possibly to fill
the orders received daily from all
parts Of the country.
This condition is true not only of
the DeLaval Company, but also of
the smaller makers of separators.
The dairy farmers of this country are
alive to The fact that the most profit !
able way to keep cows is in conjunc.
ton with the daily use of separator
and knowing this fact, are keeping
agents busy everywhere.
The superiority of the De Laval sep
arator is universally recognized |
among creamerymen and dairymen.
"DeLavaP' Is a household word in
the dairying world and stands for all
that is best in cream separators.
The farmer who would best serve his
own interests aud who desires to be
in the front rank of dairymen would
do we'll to invest in b farm separator
now, and start the spring season pro- /
perly equipped to get all the profit |
possible from his COWS. The expert
ence of thousands of dairymen proves
most emphatically that this is the
proper course to pursue, and when
contemplating the purchase of sep
arator it is advisable to keep in mind
the fact that the De Laval is the best
machine in every respect, and It's
value will be proved beyond doubt
when the dairy account is balanced
at the end of the year.
