THE CREAM SEPARATOR IN
A FARMING CON-
MUNITY

In making trip through section
Of Southern Wisconsin this spring in
| the interests Of dairying, the writer
was particularly struck with the pros
| porous appearance Of the farms and
the beautiful homes on those farms.
On making inquiries he found that
| the majority of the farmers of the
community owned their farms, and
that they had large dairy herds which
were the principal source of revenue
| for the farm.
The homes themselves were not the
! only feature of these farms that was
pleasant to the eye and betokened
prosperity. The barns, the outbuild-
ings, the fences, and the lawns all indi-
! Gated that here were farmers who
believed in making not only comfort
able, but beautiful homes for them
selves and their families. They needed
/ no separate residence as q summer
home-they had it here and the
beauty of nature had not been adul-
terated only accentuated. One could
| enjoy drink of milk at a place like this.
| There was no need to 60 into the sta
bles, or to watch the process Of milk
! Ing, to know that sanitation was
closely observed during the whole pro-
cess of handling the milk. Cleanli-
ness permeated the very air around
the places.
Then, as the farms themselves were
gone over, the crops plainly indicated
that the dairy herd was indeed the
very source of the farmers prosperity.
One never saw better crops anywhere.
Everything except the butter fat and
the surplus of grains and hay were
kept on the farm. The warm skinned
milk was used for feeding young stock
and its fertilizing value as we'll as the
fertilizer created from the roughage
and grains consumed by the herd was
returned to the soil without waste.
Wisconsin is q dairy state. They
know up there what the dairy COW
will do; the homes it will create; the
the money earned by the herds all stay
in the farmers pockets as witness the
prosperous, well-kept little city ada
cent to this farming community.
The social life Of the community
was congenial and of a high type.
The town had one moving picture
show, but 1t was busy only three nights
a week. The community spent their
leisure hours in pleasant, happy, social
intercourse. The driver of our car
had been engaged to take thirty peo-
pie to a neighboring community fif-
teen miles distant by auto truck for
an evenings social gathering. These
prosperous farmers had looked well to
their transportation facilities, for in
spite Of the rainy weather, the auto
truck trip could be made with every
+ comfort and surety of arriving at its
destination at the proper time.
This is what the introduction of
cream separators means to a commu-
nifty. The cream separator is always
the advance guard Of successful
march to, and permanent acguisi-
ton Of, prosperity In community. 1t
means, first, saving of labor and
time, then, a saving and making Of
money, then, the upbuilding of the
farm, and, finally, the Improvement OF
the whole community.
Do not thoughtlessly turn down the
cream separator salesman of reputa-
BILE company. He Is doing you service
In selling you SEPARATOR service
that will not only benefit you but your
whole community for no man, not
even you, Mr.. Farmer. can live entirely
unto himself.

A press dispatch announces the
