See the Difference 
BETWEEN THE 
AND OTHER 
CREAM SEPARATORS 
Y OU can see the difference between a NEW DE LAVAL 
and any other cream separator right away. 
And five minutes spent in comparing the bowl construction, the size, 
material and finish of all the working parts, the manner of oilmg, the 
tinware and the frames, will surely convince you of the superiority of 
De Laval construction and workmanship. 
Then if you go a step farther and turn the cranks of the two machines 
side by side for fifteen minutes, running milk or water through the bowl, 
you will see still more difference. 
And if you will run the two machines side by side in 
practical use, as any De Laval agent will be glad to have 
you do—the De Laval one day and the other machine 
the next—for a couple of weeks, you will see still greater 
difference in the work of the two machines. 
There is a De Laval agent near you who will be glad 
to explain all the improvements and advemtages of the 
NEW De Laval, and who will set and start a machine 
for you on your farm and let you prove the difference 
for yourself. 
Why not see the nearest De Laval agent at once? If 
you do not know him, write to the nearest office for any 
desired information.

Why I Would Leave the Farm 
Country Advantages.— 1 Ltivo (iftcii 
read the views of nieii and boys on tliis 
subject. A girl’s oitiuions may not be 
wholly u.se)ess. lit the first place T love 
the country. It is always so big and 
quiet and restful ItMjking. It ha.s, too, an 
air of solidity and permanence that I like. 
City building.s seem always to he on 
wheels; city streets to be piled ni» at 
the ctirbiugs, city trees to be always in 
parks and city people always to be living 
in to-morrows. The country has such a 
different air. I have lived in the house 
my grandparents built. I travel ti road 
that is kept in repair without being 
stacked np along the roadside every year 
or two, and, bfist of all, I admire and love 
the tree.s that my granditarents and 
parents and uncles and aunts and broth¬ 
ers have loved and admired—then, too, I 
try to live to-days, not to-morrows. 
A Busy Place. —Mo.st of the farmer.s, 
though, whom I know, have little fime to 
think much of the ideality of tlie country 
as ii place for living—to them, indeed. T 
is rather a place for working. Work is 
necessary if they are thrifty tind pros- 
wits in the country. I am proud of m.v 
ftimily and I am proud of my home. I 
like to invite friends to vi.sit me. and like* 
to entertain them as cultured people en¬ 
tertain me. There comes the help ques¬ 
tion. We liave had hired men and hired 
men. One man, I have in mind, who has 
worked for us often, is one of the best 
friends tind truest gentlemen I have ever 
known, and in the great number of farm 
hands we have had he does not stand 
alone. But, in tfaie past few years, it 
.seems that we hare been less fortunate, 
and, almost invariably, by the time an in¬ 
vited guest has arrived the stress of farm 
work has made a “hand” necessary, so 
seated at the family table and around the 
reading lamp is an uncombed, half- 
wiislied, sLIrt-sleeved individual who out¬ 
stays my guest. You say, “Why not 
give him a plate in the kitchen?” If you 
need help badly, don't try that, for your 
man won’t “stand” for it. He is—you 
ask him about it—as good as anybody. 
If he worked in a factory he would 
neither expect nor receive social equality 
witli his employer’s family—but, on a 
A Connecticut Woman Gardener Starting the Spring Work 
peruus. I have noted things carefully, 
and I tind thiit tlie most prosjteroti.s farm 
homes tire tlie thriftie.st and busie.st. 
Work and prosperity iiicrea.se ^in direct 
ratio: in city homes, in indinsd ratio. 
When the merchant or the bttnker grows 
wealthy, he usually buys a big house, and 
when he does this ho is siirt' to omjilo.v 
helj) to ciire for it. When the farmer 
buys his new house, no such provision is 
made and the already over-burdened 
housekeepers add a few extrti ctires. 
Does the city mtin bring home liis r-ierks 
to feed around the family table? The 
very suggestion is absurd, you .say— hut, 
is tluit not what the fitrmer is forced 
to do? 
The Hiked Helu. —The Itig rett.son 
why I would lettve the ftirin. you s(>e. !s 
the old thretidbare one of hired help. 
Eliminate th;it question tind it is not 
iteeessiiry thtit the ftirmer’s wife tind 
dttughters httve more to do than their city 
friends. We httve ttlwtiys tried to hire 
married men who live in our tenant house. 
Some of our neighbors still hoard all 
their heli>. Even with etire in pltiDiiiiig 
work, extra work will jtile up. then a 
man or two must h(“ hired who will live 
in the house with us. This usually means 
that in the mo.st beautiful .season of tlie 
year, when fruit uiU get ripe and pre¬ 
serves must he mttde, and when a maid 
eannot be prttenrod to work in the coun¬ 
try for love or money—in themselves a 
I)lenty without workmtMi to feed—mother 
and I must stay in the kiteheii ttiid work. 
This is the season when my city friends 
who httve not the money to sptuid that I 
have go to the lakt's or the mountains 
and have the time of their lives. 
Family Like. —Now. pitssing by the 
(luestion of the wmrk involved, tliere i.s, to 
me, a bigger point thtin that. I don’t 
mind working, provided I ettn st'O that I 
am accomplishing sometliing. I can’t see 
that the argument of the lonesomeness of 
farms counts for anything at till. I have 
been lonesomer in a big city than I ever 
farm, fluit is a dilTereut matter. Why 
is it? 
Mental Stimulus. —I am a college 
gnidtuite. When in ctdlege my friends 
were daughters of doctors, bankers, law- 
ytu-s. busine.ss and other profe.ssional men. 
'I’he fiiet that I was a farmer’s daughter 
did not brand me as “jttkey” or “tacky” 
or anything of the .sort. Thiit is in the 
person, not in the jdace he lives. I httve 
alwitys felt pride in the fiiet thiit my 
father is a successful fariiu r. 1 am glad, 
too, tliiit my brothers are in our agricul- 
tufiil college. I have always Iteeii httitpy, 
too, thiit I could invite my friends to sticli 
a heautiful farm home. Wlieti I w:is in 
collegt! I loved to read. Since I hiive 
been out of college I have not had time 
to rettd, and now I find myself growing 
mentally lazy. There ha.s been too much 
to do with my hands, and I have lost 
mtich of the di'sire to study. Girls who ' 
had not a college record thiit would com¬ 
pare with mif.e, friend.s of mine who live 
in towns' and cities, have taken up club 
work with other college Avonien and have 
kept on developing while I am retrograd¬ 
ing. I fciir. Bcoplo about me speak “Eng« 
li.sh its sh(‘ is spoke.” and I suspect tlmt 
almost any time now T may find myself 
using “aint’s” and “htiint’s” and 
"taint’s.” 
The Eiek of the Sfirit. —Any boy, or 
girl, who has spent four ytsars at college 
Icitriis to like things that he has to de¬ 
prive himself of when he lives on a farm 
—leetiire.s, theatres, coneerts ttiul other 
good things thiit add so much to culture 
and happiness. My city friends have 
these privilege.s* and tiro they not worth 
a great deal? Do I really want to leave 
tilt' fttrm? At the best, it means comfort, 
quiet, time to read, to know one’s own 
family and to work. At the worst, it i.s 
hurry, confusion, no time for mere living, 
retrogression, no real home life, uncon¬ 
genial surroundings. W’liy can’t we make 
the former win? uelen waugii.
