U. S. 



THE I IMPROVED 



CREAM 

 SEPARATOR 



For many years the U. S. Separators have 

 been tested under all conditions, and have 

 proved to thousands of satisfied users that 

 they are the best machines of their kind. 

 There are good reasons for their superiority. 



The U. S. skims cleaner than any other 

 separator because the milk is skimmed three 

 distinct times before leaving the bowl. 



All parts of the machine are strong, simple 

 and easy to get at. The gears being entirely 

 enclosed are protected from dirt and dust. 

 The bowl having only two simple parts in- 

 side is easily and quickly washed. The whole 

 machine is very light running because the 

 working parts run in oil, and are accurately 

 made and fitted. 



No other separator has all these advantages. The U. S. 

 ts the cream separator for you to buy. Send for catalogue, 

 and name of nearest local selling agent. A ddress,

PROFITABLE DAIRYING 



A Practical Guide to Successful Dairy Management. By C. L. PECK 



The introductory chapter of this book consists of a minute description of the 

 far-famed model dairy farm of Rev. J. D. Detrich, near Philadelphia, Pa. 

 Never perhaps has the description of any farm caused a more profound sensa- 

 tion in the agricultural world. This article, which originally appeared in 

 American Agriculturist, is out of print and no longer obtainable; it is reprinted 

 herewith by numerous requests. On this farm of 15 acres, which 20 years ago 

 could not maintain one horse and two cows, there were kept 27 dairy cattle, in 

 addition to two horses. All the roughage, litter, bedding, etc., necessary for 

 these animals was grown on these 15 acres, more than most farir _TS could ac- 

 complish on 100 acres. A description of this plain, unpretentious little farm 

 sounds almost like a fairy tale, and yet it is nothing but plain, clear facts, of 

 the truth of which anyone can convince themselves. 



The author of this volume is a well known, practical dairyman, who has 

 made dairying a marked success, and who, in this volume, gives such practical 

 hints on dairying as will enable the reader to improve his methods, better his 

 conditions and more clearly attain that point in business known as success. 

 The treatment of the entire subject is thoroughly practical in every detail, 

 being principally a description of the methods practiced by the author, and 

 which after a lifetime of experience and study he has found most advantage- 

 ous. Yet the scientific bearing on the subject has not been neglected, as the 

 author has availed himself of all the most recent discoveries and advance- 

 ments in science, thus making the work authoritative, practically as well as 

 scientifically. 



Separate chapters are devoted to the importance of the dairy, physiology, 

 and secretion of milk, future of dairying, dairy breeds, selection of a breed, 

 the dairy cow and the dairy sire, dairy standard, care and feed of the dairy 

 cow, care of the calf, milking, when to have cows come fresh, feeds and their 

 value, care of the milk, device for ripening cream, churning, marketing dairy 

 butter, the dairy barn, silo and silage, miscellaneous topics, necessary appli- 

 ances, general hints, dairy remedies.
