thk HAKY'BST that never ends. Through Autumn, 'W'iutor. Spring uid •Sunmier, the harvesting of tile "niilkci'°l' continues year in and year on;. J.lie ever faithful cow never fails to add a goodly sum to each year's revenue from tile farm. Yet how little many do towards making the most of her produet. Hundreds of thousands of pounds are lost yearly by cow-owners through failure to employ a centrifugal ereini separator and thereby secure everv particle of cream from the cow's milk Ove 800.000 "Alfa-Laval" users are daily proving that the increased gain in the quantity and quality of (lie "milk prop" is from £2 to £3 per cow each year when tile "Alfa-Laval" separator is used, to say nothing of the time and labor saved. Isn't it worth your while ;o investigate such a saving'; If you iwn three or more eoivs the practice of icononiy and good business methods in lie care of their products demands an 'Alfa-Laral" machine.
