No # More Reason why You Should Milk by 
Hand thanjfarvest by Hand 
saves more time during a year than a grain binder or any 
other labor-saving device a dairyman can own. In addition it 
increases the production of milk, many De Laval users say, to 
such an extent that the increased flow alone pays for the milker. 
EASY TERMS can be arranged so that you can use 
the De Laval Milker while it pays for itself. Send for com¬
