Sometimes accidents tnat pass for mMoriune-, return to our welfare. This Fai-i is brougnt home vividly to 'he daily farmer who ha-ben prevailed on to invest in an inferior ci'-.im separator, and after being hurt in picket, and vc'ry ofien in body, he con-ign> it to tin' scrap-heap, and, profiling by a bitter experience, buys all "Alfa-Laval"—the separator iliat has -tood all tests for a (juar'er of a century, and has 700 first prizes to its credit. Buying experience is expensive, buying an 'Alfa-Laval'' is a profitable investment. It will save its rest the first year :>f use, and will las' you a lifetime. Your reputation for common se,.se will suffer unless you profit by the mistakes of others. Catalogues mailed free. Local agent-, K. Griffiths and Co., New Plymouth. Sole.
