The Greatest Improvement in Cream Separator Con
stru cts l in the Lest Thirty Years
By Rory O'Moore
Hear the steady, even dipping of the paddle and the dripping
Of the sparkling drops of water, as they fall from off the blade;
See the moonbeams falling lightly on the waves that dance so

Hear the willows whisper stilly to the modest water lily—
How the throbbing, living beauty of it all just thrills you thru.
