MODERN DAIRYING 



farmers set their milk in deep cans in tanks of 

 ice- water for the cream to rise, losing thereby 

 six to eight per cent of the total amount of 

 fat, practically all saved by means of the sepa- 

 rator, using the milk direct from the cow. 



It is of interest to note that in the whole of 

 Sweden, where his inventions have placed him 

 in popular estimation among the foremost men 

 of his generation, Gustaf De Laval is held in 

 just as high esteem as he was in the hamlet in 

 those early days when he won the hearts of 

 the good housewives. He is a man with a pro- 

 digious capacity for labor, as shown not only 

 by the number of his other inventions, but 

 by his success in the development of great in- 

 dustries. Though an inventor, he has shown 

 marked business ability, having amassed a for- 

 tune. He is pronounced a man of the most 

 delightful attributes, unspoiled by successes, of 

 great strength of character, of most charming 

 personality. 



But while, on one side the Atlantic, one man 

 was developing an invention that was to prove 

 of such great value to the dairy world, another 

 man on this side the sea was perfecting another 

 invention destined to play an even greater part
