AtindoriDviry Fam,-: Here is a ;vety pretty pioture oi the way.adairyfar.tn iB run 1 in 'the neighbourhood of London.;, A dairyman close by, has, a' separator -at >;work, ? ■He milks not'-^far."from ! 8' Hundred cowß,add he baa ■ not- got a - Bmgle

milk, vessel standing iu his dairy. The milk oomes in twico a day, and is at once separated, and tho oream, one wnin, is put into tin vessels to cool, and every morning ho churns tbo morning and evening cream of the previous day. The separated milk as it comes away from the separator is carried off to the calves and pigs and very bood disappears down their throats, Now, how muoh money and labour and trouble does the man save himself by having no dairy implements of any sort standing in his dairy? Hisisoparatedmilkis drunk up by the calves twice a day hot from the «ow ! , and butter, which the milk produces, is Bent to the market the day after comes from the cow. This tells ns just how it is done, and the only wonder is, that all the dairy men who can afford one of these high priced machines, do not get them and flood the laige towns and cities with skim milk, especially when the cream sells so readily. There is no better paying dairy product than the cream from n good separator.Agriculturist,
