Get All the Cream 
cannot expect 
^ to get all the profit 
from your cows unless 
you have a separator 
that skims clean. 
Why don’t you make 
up your mind here 
and now to buy 
a Primrose or Lily 
cream separator? Then 
if your checks are not 
bi? enough, you will 
know that the trouble 
is with the cows, not 
with the separator. 
The president of the 
Iowa Federation of Cow 
TestingAssociation sa3"s 
that of all the separators 
in use in his association, and 
they are many, the Primrose 
skims closest. It leaves less 
than one-hundreth of one per cent of the cream in the milk. 
The Lily skims just as close. Neither one wastes any cream. 
With prices of everything as high as they are now, to waste 
cream is little short of a crime. 
Yes, you can buy separators for less money. You can also 
pay more. But you cannot buy a closer skimming machine, 
one that runs easier, or one that will skim clean for a longer 
tiine.^ Do not delay. The longer you put off buying a Primrose 
or Lily cream separator, the more you lose. Get one of 
these machines, and your separator troubles will disappear 
as if by magic. Drop us a card for catalogues and full 
information.

SaveThe Little Pigs 
Clean, healthy little pigs grow into profitable hogs. With B-K the POWERFUL 
disinfectant (NOT A POISON) you can easily keep the little pigs clean and bright, 
prevent face scab, lung fever, cholera and bowel trouble by disinfecting pens, animals, 
feed and drinking water. ALL authorities agree that disinfecting is absolutely neces¬ 
sary, to protect hogs against cholera, and the records show that hundreds of breed¬ 
ers have safely protected all their hogs by using B-K when the hogs of neighbors 
were dying from Cholera. B-K disinfecting does not interfere with the use of serum 
but more than doubles the protection. Germ diseases are more easily prevented than 
cured. Our i>owerful non-poisonous germicide will save you hundreds of dollars per 
year if you are raising hogs. If your dealer does not have B-K, send us his name,

Northern Ohio Milk Notes | 
Last Fall the dairymen of Northern 
Ohio went upon the warpath for a visi- ; 
hie rise in milk, and after a 12 days’ em- I 
bargo won out, and obtained a .$2.33 per 
can rate. The city dealers must deal 
with the producers’ committee in fixing 
future prices. So far as known, the 
terms laid down and acceptetl, have been 
well observed by all parties, and now, i 
with the 1st of April near, comes the 
sound of another call to agree upon 
.Summer prices. The producers did not 
go to sleep after the advance in prices 
last Fall, but \vent right on forming new 
auxiliaries, combining counties, adding to 
member.ship, looking up weak places in 
the lines, and in counting up, find that 
they now have G.UfiO members, instead of 
the 3,000 they had six months ago, and 
with the success of last Fall, are show¬ 
ing fewer “pacifists” now. All .seem 
united in the new slogan “Twenty cents 
a gallon, or no milk.” The actual ter¬ 
ritory of the Northern Ohio Milk Pro- 
ducpr.s’ Association covers all of the 12 
counties of the Western Reserve, and 
the northwestern counties about Toledo. 
In the eastern part, Pittsburgh. Y'oungs- 
town and Akron draw supplies, but these 
members affiliate with the big society, 
and look after their local intere.sts, as a 
complete whole. All of the large cities 
now have milk producers’ associations 
to deal with, and now all of these large 
associations met in delegated conference, 
and formed a State union, so that one 
section can have the united support of 
the others, and tend to make prices uni- 
furm_ throughout the State. 
Within the past three months the feed 
situation has grown into a serious men¬ 
ace. Most of the protein fee(is have 
quite ^doubled in pric*e, oil meal selling 
for .$55, (when you can get it), cotton¬ 
seed $49, gluten out of the market, com¬ 
mon^ white shorts $4G, and cornmeal and 
hominy ,$45, all these in carload lots, 
:ind two to three dollars more at the lo¬ 
cal dealers. Food is hard to get. and 
often the farnu'r is sorely distressed to 
get feed that will keep up the milk flow, 
so the_associiition say that they are jus¬ 
tified in a.sking and demanding a rise of 
five cents a g.-tllou over the 15-ceut price 
of the Summer of 391(1. A most .ser¬ 
ious coudition confronts us, that of the 
general selling off of dairies, and the 
farmers going out of the industry, be¬ 
cause it is actnaliy bjinkrui)ting tlie own- 
er.s. More* than 4() dairies liave thus beou 
sold lately within a half hour's .’into trip 
from the writer’s home. There does not 
seem to be an,v ]>i’ospect of lower prices 
for feeds. It will he a long time before 
new fe<’ding crops will he grown. Wages 
have gone up, fai’in hands asking ,$2.50 
a day, and to get them to stay a full 
day you have to bet three dollars with 
them that they won’t. A ])itiful thing 
about these dairy auction siiles is the 
crowd of butchers who stand about, and 
every fleshy cow is bid in, and goes to 
the shamjdes, jt cow in fair flesh going at 
from ,$(!,5 to $85, and the jioorer cows 
are bought up by the cow dealers, .and 
shipi»ed to f.’iraway cow markets, and 
disposed of to new dairymen, and Ohio 
is .so much the jioorei’ for future milk 
supplies. 
Within a few days the association of¬ 
ficers will meet the city buyers .’iiid ne¬ 
gotiations Avill commence for the new 
standard of prices. The dairymen are 
together as never before, as’ every one 
sees that 391.7 Summer milk will <’ost 
as much as milk the present Winter, and 
no farmer will have to pay a federal in¬ 
come tax on the dividends of his dairy.

New England Milk Notes 
The leading milk contractors, at time 
of writing, were unwilling to grant last 
Winter’s price for this .Sunyner’s milk, 
but they seem willing tt> do something 
to\\;ard meeting requirements of shippers 
and the final deal seems a matter of close 
dickering between the two sides of the 
market. Said IT. P. ITood & Soius: “We 
agree that conditions are such that the 
milk i)roducers should have a reasonable 
adviince over last Summer’s price, hut if 
we pay the prices asked it w’ould mean 
an advance to the farmer of 3 3/.c per 
quart over last Summer’s price, which in 
turn, would mean an advance to tlie con¬ 
sumer of at least one cent per (juart and 
possibly over present prices. We 
are convinced that those representing tlie 
consumers would protest any such ad¬ 
vance as this.’.’. On the other hand the 
rei)resedta4ives of the producers point 
out the recent advances in the grain mar¬ 
ket and hint that even their present de¬ 
mands do not fully cover the great in¬ 
crease in cost of production. 
At the State House in Boston there is 
the usual batch of hills which threaten to 
become' laws affecting New England milk 
producers. The lawmakers mav turn 
down all of this score or more of meas¬ 
ures. good and bad. wise and foolish alike, 
as they did last year. Sometimes this 
course seems about the only way to de¬ 
feat the bad bills; the good bills act as a 
kind of backfire against the bad ones, but 
go out themselves, as a necessary result. 
This year it looks more as if there might 
be results, because for the fir.st time in 
about a dozen years comparative har¬ 
mony prevails. For one thing the State 
Board of Health shows a new willing¬ 
ness to consider matters .somewhat from 
the producers’ point of view. It has 
called off its inspection system which w'as

Steel used where iron lacks strength.
