HUMOROUS 
If the farmer who tills 
Makes his living by tillage, 
Does the doctor who pills 
Make his living by pillage? 
—Philadelphia Record. 
Miss Flummery hai ^ 'h beautiful 
hair! Why, she can f g i it.” ‘‘How 
careless of her to leav ^ lying around 
on chairs.”—Clevelant ^ in Dealer. 
L.\i)y: ‘‘Where is ^ son to-day, 
Mrs. Murphy? I hope < %n’t ill.” Mrs. 
Murphy: ‘‘Sure, Mih ^ o be married 
to-morry, ma’am, an’^ S gone to bed 
to-day whoile Oi wasliD ^ is troosow for 
him.”—Tit-Bits. 
“Lot’s wife w'uz turned inter a piller 
er salt,” said the old colored citizen, “en 
ef de days er miracles wuzn’t pas’ en 
gone I’d lose my temper some day en ax 
de Lawd ter turn mine inter a week’s 
groceries!”—Atlanta Constitution. 
Uncle: “What are you crying for, 
Gcorgie?” Georgie: “Teacher caned 
me because I was the only one boo- 
hoo—able to answer a question to day.” 
Uncle (indignantly): “This is scan¬ 
dalous, my poor boy! What was the 
question? Georgie (between sobs): 
“Who put the bent pin in the teacher’s 
chair.”—Tit-Bits. 
I tiiouoiit you guai-anteed that suit 
of underwear you sold me not to 
shrink?” said the customer who entered 
the store and stood in a somewhat 
cramped attitude. “I did,” replied the 
merchant; “if it shrinks bring it back. 
“I have brought, it back,” said the cus¬ 
tomer in evident embarrassment, “but 
I got caught out in the rain and can’t 
get it off.”—Ohio State Journal.

SEPARATOR AWARDS 
AT 
BUFFALO EXPOSITION 
AND OTHER 
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITIONS 
The United States Separator awarded Gold Medal at Buffalo and 
excelled all others in separating the cream from the milk of the ten dairy herds 
in the Model Dairy at the Pan-American Exposition. The DeLaval Separator 
left 25 per cent, more fatin the skimmilk than the United States. 
1 he United Slates Separator received medal and highest prize at the 
World's Fair, Chicago, 1893 . 
At tho Paris Exposition the United States Separator 
received a Cold Medal. 
The DeLaval Co. received no prize there. In their attempt to get 
around this, they advertise that the award they claim was the award given to 
the “ Societe Anonyme Separator," which they claim 
“is the French translation of ‘Separator Corporate 
Company,’ the name of their European organization.” 
The “Societe Anonyme Separator" exhibited a 
Butter Radiator. Their circulars read as follows: 
“ Le Radiateur produit directement du bcurre 
pasteurise." The English translation is “The Radiator 
produces pastuerized butter direct from the milk." In 
this country this machine is called a " Butter Accumu¬ 
lator" ora “ Butter Extractor." 
The DeLaval Separators, like those sold by the DeLaval Company in 
this country, were exhibited at Paris in the name of the Aktiebolaget 
Separator. They had a very large exhibit, over 100 machines in two places. 
But regardless of these large exhibits the official list of awards distributed at 
Paris contained no award whatever to the DeLaval Co. or their European 
Co., the Aktiebolaget Separator. The name of the separator on the circulars 
they distributed at Paris is the Alfa-Laval. 
The claim of the DeLaval Company that the award given to the “ Societe 
Anonyme Separator” was an award to them is an admission that none was 
given in their name or their European Company, the Aktiebolaget Separator. 
The award which they now claim was on a machine making pastuerized 
butter direct from the milk and not a cream separator. 
We ask all readers who, in their opinion, is the guilty party making “ All 
sorts of lying and unscrupulous misrepresentations." 
For further information about separator awards, we refer to the official 
published lists. 
THE UNITED STATES SEPARATOR EXCELS ALL OTHERS 
IN THOROUGHNESS OF SEPARATION AND 
STANDS WITHOUT A PEER.

The U. S. does not find it necessary to make false claims in order to get
