WOULD 
YOU DO IT? 
If you were sure that you could buy a per¬ 
fect calf food—one which would enable you to 
sell your milk and raise just as good, or bet-. 
ter, calves without milk, would you do it? 
TRIANGLE 
CALF FOOD 
will do it. Calves can be raised on prepared 
food, as well as babies. This one supplies 
to the calf every needed food element in just 
the right proportion. All sweet, entirely 
digestible and nutritious. No diarrhoea, 
scours, or tlux— but rapid growth and 
healthy development. A Sample bag of Tri¬ 
angle Food will prove all. Write for free

FARMERS 1 HORSE COMPANIES. 
Not a Success Out West. 
I have been in a French Coach Com¬ 
pany, $;i,000 horse, 15 stockholders, organ¬ 
ized same as one described in Monroe Co., 
N. Y. We paid half too much in the first 
place; same horse could have been bought 
for cash for one-half the money by dis¬ 
pensing with the organizer, who had to be 
paid to do the work. But farmers, with 
us at least, will subscribe $3,000 to a 
stranger’s proposition quicker than to 
raise $1,000 and send a good man or two 
of their neighbors to buy what they want. 
The keep of a company horse is greater 
than of one privately owned, as it does 
not take all of a man’s time to take care 
of a horse, and he can do some of his own 
work besides. They are generally kept by 
men who own or are interested in other 
stallions, and some of the high-priced 
company horse’s business is knocked down 
by keepers in favor of some cheaper horse, 
but just as good. The service fee is not 
paid nor collected as promptly as where 
one man has it all his way. The colts do 
not pan out; the Coach is not as prepotent 
as either the Percheron, trotter, running 
horse or Morgan. Colts take too much 
after mares in size, shape and color, thus 
dissatisfying breeders who quit after a 
trial or two, thus damaging reputation of 
horse. Interest and insurance still going 
on with keep soon makes it a losing prop¬ 
osition. The three or four good men in 
company have eventually to pay the delin¬ 
quents’ share of which there are always 
some in all those companies. In Kansas 
they had the same experience and you can 
never get a man that has been in one of 
those companies to join another, unless it 
be the keeper. a. d.

Bad Outcome in Pennsylvania. 
On page 242 you have an article on 
horse stock companies. I have had some 
experience in a horse company, and will 
tell you how it turned out. About 1C years 
ago a company of men purchased a 
Clydesdale stallion. The price was $3,000. 
The shares were $100 each. I bought two 
shares. Some were townspeople and some 
were farmers, and some few from nearby 
towns. Quite a number of these shares 
were supposed to be given to some men 
for their influence in selling the horse. 
The majority of the shares of this com¬ 
pany were held by city men, and at the 
first meeting of the company the majority 
of the stockholders voted to have the 
horse stand in town. The price was put 
at $25 for single mare or $40 for a pair. 
1 turned two mares and got two fine colts, 
and right here let me say that that is all 
I ever did get for my shares, and I paid 
the fee besides. The people did not pat¬ 
ronize the horse very much; some said 
the price was too high and some thought 
he ought to be routed. The company 
was assessed $10 on each share to pay 
board and buy an outfit to exercise him 
with. After about two years the companv 
decided to have the horse kept in the 
country, but the price was kept the same, 
and he was not to be routed. After two 
or three years of this way of keeping him 
he was sold to the man who kept him 
for the amount of his board bill. All the 
farmers of this section know how the 
company turned out. and you would think 
the farmers would have their eyes opened, 
but this Fall another man came into town 
with a Coach stallion all decked out in 
red, white and blue braid and ribbons. 
The man in charge started out to see the 
farmers and after about six weeks he suc¬ 
ceeded in getting two good responsible 
farmers, one to take one-half share and 
the other one share in this horse at $4,000, 
and enough more men were picked up to 
take the balance of 1G shares at $250 per 
share, the two good men and all the others 
signing a joint note for the whole amount. 
I lie moral is, don’t sign a joint note. My 
advice to the Hamlin Horse Co. is to not 
put the price of service too high and 
route your horse at least three days each 
week during the season, and keep him in 
the country. victim.

DE LAVAL LEADS 
IN SEPARATOR IMPROVEMENTS. 
As the first and original centrifugal cream separators the 
DE LAVAL machineshave led in every stage of separator im¬ 
provement and development. From year to year DE LAVAL 
leadership has been strengthened until today manufacturers of 
other separators are compelled to constantly create new 
“talking” points for their machines or else go out of business. 
First one and then another advertises some new and wonderful 
“improvement,” or else perhaps some asserted to be entirely 
“new ’ machine is placed on the market. A close investigation, 
however, sooa discloses the fact that these “improvements” are 
but schemes to bo ster up a failing business and further catch 
the inexperienced buyer. A few hundred machines are sold 
on the strength of such claims, hut their purpose is sc on found 
out, and then we find the same manufacturers again advertising 
some other “new” and wonderful but equally worthless 
“improvement” with which to attract the unwary buyer. 
Hence it behooves the inexperienced buyer to investigate 
well before selecting a separator. The 1906 DE LAVAL 
machines are even further ahead of all others in mechanical 
construction than ever before. Their skimming is absolutely 
complete, their capacities are greater, they turn easier, and 
their lasting qualities are beyond comparison. A DE LAVAL 
catalogue, gladlv sent upon request, will best explain the 
WHYS and WHEREFORES of DE LAVAL superiority to 
other separators. Send for it today.
