A PUMP SEPARATOR IS THE BEGINNING OF A LARGER BANKING ACCOUNT. One of the greatest, nids in raising the percentage of profits on the farm is. to cut tho cost of production. - Had we still recourse to the old hand-skimming method of winning tho cream with a perforated scoop, dairy-farming would not bo worth "powder and shot." Thanks to a generation of progress—and principally to the ingenious invention known .as the "i'ump" Separator—dairy-fanning is a more profitable game than ever. The wonderfully clean skimming of tho "Pump" is a real "cost-of-production reducer." Tho official test shows only 0.02 per cent, of fat left, in the skim milk—truly a great performance! Thus j-ou will see that from extra butter-fat alone, tho "Pump" is a profit-winner far above the average. A "Pump" Separator is yours, Mr. Farmer. at a saving of pounds money; while it will make additional profits, at less cost and with greater efficiency. Write for particulars of our Free Trial offer.
