How A Separator Helps.
We are doing everything poss
ible to assist our patrons to pro
duce cream of the finest quality,
and to this end we sell separators
on easy payments that we have
found by experience will not leave
any butter fat in the skim milk. .
All successful dairymen recog
nize the absolute necessity of
owning his own separator and
given herewith are some of the
reasons that emphasize the nec
essity. In the first place you sell cream
only to the creamery and the
creamery has only empty cans to
return to you. This is a great ad
vantage, for besides decreasing
the bulk of the shipment it as
sures the receipt of the cream in
far better condition as it is the
skim milk and not the cream that
sours quickly.
Pure cream can be shipped a
long distance and arrive at its
destination in the best condition,
provided reasonable care is taken.
The skim milk which you feed
to your young stock will be warm
and from your own cows, as you
separate the cream from the milk
directly after milking.
A separator is an actual neces
sity for profitable dairying, and
if you do not own one now, we
would like an opportunity of
proving by figures that you are
losing money every day that a
separator will save.
Think it over. Cream Buyer.
