cans to the creamery every day 20
taking two cans Of cream every other
day. or three cans twice n week
The hand separator allows the
daryman TO feed the skim milk TO
calves or pigs within a few minutes
OF the time II Is drawn from the udder
and before the natural animal heat
leaves IL. This saves warming the
milk and allows its use when IL h per
fectly sweet and fresh.
The hand separator saves hauling
skim milk from the creamery 10 the
farm, and IL also saves the dairyman
from the risk OF getting milk from dis
eased cows TO feed TO his young stock.
This Is not a great risk, to be- sure,
but IL Is worth considering. Tuber-
culous cows are frequently found In
this country, and probably there ~
hardly creamery among the patrons
Of which no cows suffering from
this disease could be found. II the
dairymap is sure Of his own cows,
the hand separator saves him from
the risk OF getting tuberculous milk
from the mixture In the milk vat at
the creamery, from which he gets his
skim milk when he delivers the whole
milk.
The saving In work Is n large item.
Instead OF ten cans to care for ano
keep clean and free from germs, there
are only two. This saves labor and
the investment Of money In utensils.
At the low price at which hand sepa-
rators are sold, one will pay for itself

toned above.
There Is another item. The hand
separator IL rapidly bringing about
the Capitalization OF the creamery In
dustry. Cream gathered from hand
separators IL now transported as far
as 200 miles to the central creamery,
| and here IL IL made into butter at
much less cost than would be possible
In the local creamery with q limited
field in which to operate. This allows
the creamery to pay better price for
butter fat and gives the dalryman
more money from his cows.
The man who keeps as few as five
| cows will find II to his advantage to
buy a hand separator, especially IL he
makes butter on the farm. for In such
case the saving IN work Is mach
greater than where a creamery takes
the cream.
