imp ORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few COWS now pay without
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.
$50 of the creamery butter of the
world is now made with De Lava!
machines, and there are over 500, COO

obtained entrance to the houses he
robbed by securing employment in
