made sure it is the Sepa¬ 
rator you want. And then you 
can take a whole year to pay. 
This is the little Separator you 
have been looking for—the 
Premier No. 2. It is built espe¬ 
cially for the man who has only 
a few cows, or for the woman 
who wants to separate enough 
cream for the family table and for home butter. Every farmer who keeps cows should have a separator. 
Even if you have only two or three cows, the butter fat wasted by the old skimming method would 
more than pay for this machine the first year—for the cost is only about ten cents a day. If you keep 
a large dairy and sell milk, you want cream and butter for your own table, and perhaps to sell. 
This wonderful little machine can be screwed to the kitchen table or set in an out-of-the-way corner. 
200 pounds per Hour Capacity 
Just right for the Farm with 3 to 5 cows. And a handy size for 
the big Dairy Farm to furnish butter and cream for the home . 
Capacity 
Although the Premier No. 2 is rated at 200 lbs. 
per hour, it will actually handle fully 300 lbs. and 
in an emergency would care for the milk from a 
large herd. - .■ < ,

You Risk No Money 
We believe so thoroughly in the ability of 
Premier No. 2 to please you, that we are willing 
to ship it to you without a cent of money in 
advance. You don’t risk a penny, for besides 
our Thirty Days’ Free Trial Offer, you have a 
full year to pay and 
Our Binding Guarantee 
that goes with all the machinery and equipment we sell. 
Think of it—30 days’ free trial without paying a 
cent. A year to pay, in twelve monthly payments. 
If, after 30 days you are not fully satisfied that 
it is worth all we ask and more, just return it to 
us at our expense. The full price of the Premier 
No. 2 is $27.00, which you pay in twelve 
monthly payments of $2.25 each, starting at the 
end of 30 days’ trial. With a four-legged steel 
Stand, the price is $33.00. If you prefer to pay 
cash in full, there is a discount of five per cent.

do not have this separator. 
Easy to Clean 
The Premier bowl is especially sanitary. It is 
easy to take apart and as easy to clean as a tea¬ 
cup. It can be taken apart, washed and put 
together again in a few minutes. A convenient 
rust-proof disc-holder and two cleaning brushes 
are furnished with every machine. 
Gets the Cream 
The Premier bowl has a patented device that 
distributes the milk evenly over the discs, insuring 
a steady, constant flow and preventing any of the 
cream from escaping by mixing with the skim milk. 
Easy to Turn 
The light, strong bowl of the Premier and its simple, 
smooth-running mechanism make it easy to turn 
and almost noiseless. A child can operate it. 
Bell Indicator 
A bell, attached to the handle, indicates to the 
operator when the machine is running too fast 
or too slow. This unique device is very conven¬ 
ient and valuable. 
Automatic Oiling 
The oiling system requires attention only once a 
week. After the oil is placed in the reservoir, 
the machine oils itself.

Clean Separators 
—Healthy Udders 
TN THE BUSY DAIRY we’re apt to 
1 overlook some of the details that vitally 
effect the final profits. 
A clean separator means sweet, fragrant cream— 
the kind that makes top-notch butter. Germ-X 
solution loosens slime and kills bacteria quicker 
than live steam. It shortens the work of cleaning 
dairy utensils. 
North Star Anti-Septic Wool Fat Compound 
keeps teats and udders smooth and pliable. Cows 
with healthy udders “give down” more milk—pay 
better. This Wool Fat Compound nourishes and 
rebuilds wounded tissues. Use it, too, for foot and 
skin diseases of horses. 
FREE TRIAL —It costs you nothing to prove for 
yourself what North Star Wool Fat will do for your 
stock. We'll send a liberal sample free. Write

Pasture and Barn Notes 
Time Necessary to Home-mix Feed. 
—At various times we have read state¬ 
ments about what it costs to mix dairy 
feed at home. The other day, just to find 
out for ourselves, we made a point of 
keeping track of the time it took. The 
feed Jiad to be carried about 100 ft. to the 
mixing floor, and neither of us happened 
to have a knife in our pockets, so that 
quite a little time was consumed in pick¬ 
ing the sacks open. One thousands pounds 
of feed were mixed. The 10 bags of iu- 
gredieuts were all dumped at once, the 
coarser feeds being spread on the floor 
first. When all of the bags .were dumped 
j we took shovels and shoveled the pile up 
into a cone-shaped affair. Then, stand¬ 
ing opposite each other on one side of it, 
we turned the entire pile, the same as one 
would mix concrete. We did this three 
times, and then shoveled the pile up into 
bags and set them to one side. From the 
time we began to sweep up the mixing 
floor until the last bag was shoveled up 
and set aside exactly three-quarters of an 
hour elapsed. At a liberal estimate for 
time, it cost for the two of us not to ex¬ 
ceed 75c. We figure we saved $7.20 a ton, 
or $3.60 on the batch by mixing it our¬ 
selves. 
Handling Fed Calves. —Most farms 
are not well equipped to handle small 
calves that are being fed milk or gruel. 
Usually such calves run together in a box 
stall, and the common practice, or at 
least it has been our practice and our ob¬ 
servation. is to go in among them with 
two or three pails and a stick. If a man 
is a good fighter and not afraid to knock 
a calf half unconscious with his stick, he 
can sometimes succeed under this system 
in feeding each calf approximately what 
it ought to have; that is. provided some 
one of the calves does not bunt over his 
pail. Then, after they are fed. the calves 
have a grand time sucking each other’s 
ears and tails, and generally learning bad 
habits. This Winter, by simply slatting 
up one side of the box stall where the lit¬ 
tle calves are raised, and fixing every 
third slat so that it will swing on a bot¬ 
tom pin and can be fastened at the top 
with another pin. like a small stanchion, 
we have an arrangement whereby each 
calf can be fastened in a stanchion, fed 
his proper amount of milk or gruel, and 
then given grain in its own little feed box. 
It is enough to say that we are growing 
our calves much more suceesfully this 
Winter than ever before. 
Early-cut Hay. —This Winter’s ex¬ 
perience lias convinced us that it is much 
better to have hay cut too early, even at 
the loss of tonnage, than to wait for it to 
complete its growth and then have it too 
ripe. Whenever we have struck early- 
cut hay, the cows have gained in milk, 
and it has not been necessary to feed them 
any more of it than of the late-cut hay. 
As a matter of fact, a Winter dairy that 
is fed all the silage and grain that it will 
eat uses but very little hay anyway, and 
with high-priced grain going into a cow it 
certainly looks like good business to feed 
her the hay that she likes best, and will 
milk the best on. 
Manure Spreader on Dairy Farm.— 
Our manure spreader has been useless to 
us for the last three months. We prob¬ 
ably won’t be able to use it for a couple 
of mouths more. That is just the season 
when we do the bulk of our manure haul¬ 
ing. For top-dressing meadows, wheat 
and the like, the manure spreader cer¬ 
tainly has a place. Our own experience, 
however, teaches us that year in and 
year out, on a dairy farm, the bulk of the 
manure as it is handled daily must con¬ 
tinue to be spread by the trusty hired 
man, and that it won’t do to neglect to 
teach the farm boys the art of top-dress- 
iug by hand. 
Tools in a Dairy Darn. —Practically 
all Winter we have been getting along 
with one barn broom. This we have had 
to use in two barns. The other day one 
of the boys had the bright thought to buy 
another broom, and when we got it on 
the job we all realized how much of a 
time-saver it was to have a broom in each 
barn. Yet I believe that we are not alone 
in our lack of foresight. Practically 
every dairy barn has one shovel where it 
ought to have two. or one grain measure, 
or one basket, or a fork, where there 
ought to be several. The time lost in 
chasing from one end of the barn to the 
other for these useful and necessary bits 
of equipment is out of all proportion to 
their cost. dairyman.
