Tho Pump Separator feeds itself automatically, ■ pumping the milk' from its tank oii tho floor, in a Hons cxactly regulated to the speed of tho machine.. It is made tho way that wears, and will he running and earning money long after other Separators art) "scrapped." Investigate tho "Pump" Separator, Mr. Farmer.

The Automatic Supply of Milk is rjiiite a feature of tho Machine. Also the Automatic Release of tlib Bowl from the driving wheels, together with the self-balancing of the Bowl. Taking tho Machine as a whole it should be hard lo bent.—Yours faithfully, llaybitlle."—Advt.
