DE LAVAL 



SEPARATORS 



MAKE THE 

 BEST BU TTER. 



The one purpose of every thinking buyer of a cream separator is the making of the 

 most and the best cream possible, whether for home buttermaking, creamery patronage, 

 or any other use to which cream is put. 



It is possible to "claim" almost everything for the various makes of cream separators, 

 but the one indisputable fact that would-be competitors do not even attempt to get around 

 is the unquestionable superiority of the DE LAVAL machines in the making of the best 

 butter. 



Year after year, dating back to the invention of the "ALPHA-DISC " system of 

 DE LAVAL bowl construction, butter made by users of DE LAVAL machines has scored 

 highest and won all higher awards in every large and thoroughly representative butter 

 contest throughout the world. 



Beginning with the first great annual contest of the NATIONAL BUTTER- 

 MAKERS ASSOCIATION in 1892 and ending with the 1908 contest, not only the 

 HIGHEST but every anywhere near high award has been made to users of DE LAVAL 

 separators and more than nine-tenths of all exhibits scoring above 90% in quality have 

 been DE LAVAL made.

In the great 1908 contest 504 of the best buttermakers in the United States competed, with first, 

 second and third, and all important awards, being made to users of DE LAVAL machines. 



At each of the big Chicago National Dairy Shows DE LAVAL butter has made a CLEAN 

 SWEEP of all highest prizes, and at the December 1908 Show, when instead of butter there was a 

 cream contest, under the supervision of the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture at Washington, first and second prizes in both classes were won by DE LAVAL cream. 



Going back further, DE LAVAL made butter received the GRAND PRIZE at the ST. LOUIS 

 WORLD'S FAIR and as well at the last PARIS WORLD'S EXPOSITION. 



In all the hundreds of important state and country contests the world over for twenty years the 

 superiority of the DE LAVAL separator in the making of fine butter has been conclusively proven. 



THE EXPLANATION IS TO BE FOUND IN THE IDEAL DESIGN AND CON- 

 STRUCTION OF THE DE LAVAL SEPARATING BOWLS AND THE THOROUGHLY 

 PRACTICAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH DE LAVAL MACHINES MAY BE OPER- 

 ATED AND USED. 



A new 1909 DE LAVAL catalogue — affording an education in this as in other features of sepa- 

 rator knowledge — is to be had for the asking.

Planting Hedges 



SINCE hedges can take the place of fences 

 let us by all means have more hedges and 

 fewer fences. Of necessity plants in hedges are 

 very close to one another, and because of that 

 (being somewhat restricted to the area from 

 whence they derive nourishment) the soil in which 

 they are to be planted should be enriched more 

 than is ordinarily done for the same plants set 

 singly. Besides a liberal dressing of well-rotted 

 stable manure give a good sprinkling of bone 

 meal. Thoroughly dig in this dressing and see 

 that the soil is well broken up for a depth of as 

 near to two feet as may be safe. Then stretch 

 a line the whole extent of where the hedge is to 

 be and dig a trench, keeping the line as a guide. 

 The depth should be sufficient to allow the plants 

 to be placed at least one inch deeper than they 

 were when growing in the nursery. 



Planting is best done by two people. Let one 

 man place the plants one by one in the trench, 

 holding them in position as the other person fills

About the end of June or early in July trim hedges 

 of California privet 



in the soil. If the roots are all on one side the 

 stems of the plants may be placed hard against 

 one side of the trench and the soil shoveled in and 

 firmed with the hands and feet; if the roots proceed 

 from both sides of the plants set them in the 

 middle of the trench. 



The most popular and in all probability the most 

 useful hedge plant is California privet. Plants three 

 feet high, which can be bought for about fifteen 

 cents each, will give quick results. Set them about 

 one foot apart, if a single hedge is wanted, and a 

 little further apart in zigzag for a double hedge. 

 Smaller and cheaper plants will grow so rapidly 

 that unless there is a special desire for quick 

 results it is better to plant them instead of larger 

 ones. Be sure to plant deeply and cut back severely 

 to induce a proper bottom development. Shear 

 three times a year as necessary. 



Norway spruce and American arborvitas make 

 handsome evergreen hedges. Berberis Thun- 

 bergii makes a neat, compact, and showy hedge 

 with the additional feature of retaining its bright, 

 red berries nearly all through the winter. Rosa 

 rugosa is not only handsome but is an effectual pro- 

 tection against trespassing on account of the dense 

 growth strongly armed with spines. A showy 

 dwarf hedge can also be formed from Deutzia 

 gracilis.
