You don't need, another man and a step-ladder, to 'feed a lofty milk tank with. tho "Pump" Separator. This machine pumps its own milk supply from floor level, and skims it so clean that (by official test) only 0.20 per cent, of fat' is left in the skim-milk* It is the separator Clint appeals to the go-ahead farmer, because it spells simplicity, less labour, greater capacity, and bigger proiits. Its simplicity, makes _it easier to clean, and the pump requisite's the supply of milk to the speed. This is tho day of "efficiency "fawning," and this, the Separator whose essence is efficiency, is tho machine l'or you. 111*. l'V Hodgson, a user of the pump Separator, tells on this page what he thinks of it.

"Victor" Vats.are the cheeseman's lielpj giving that assistance which is so essential to the production of first quality cheese. The sloping Iwttom and centre drainage ensure a freo flow of whey, leaving the curd high and dry. A "Victor" means biggor profits, too.. Get particulars. A. J.
