When writing advertisers be sare to say 
You saw if in the American Agriculturist 
records have been of tremendous value. 
We keep pure-bred Guernseys, and we 
are well pleased with our first year of 
testing. Of 12 cows on test, every one 
has made over 10,000 pounds and over 
600 .pounds of butterfat. Our daily 
milk records have shown us that the 
cow which gives a big flood of milk 
when fresh, is not necessarily profitable, 
while another cow which gives less but 
is persistent throughout the year is a 
real money-maker. Only carefully re¬ 
corded daily milkings will tell you the 
truth. You wouldn’t keep a hired man 
around who ate you out of house and 
home and did only one hour’s work a 
day; why keep a cow that runs up 
your feed bills and produces less milk 
than her feed costs? Make yourself 
a gift of a milk scale and a milk-sheet. 
NEW YORK GUERNSEY BREEDERS 
HOLD FIRST ANNUAL MEETING 
The First Annual Meeting of the 
New York State Guernsey Breeders, 
Inc; was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel, 
at Albany, N. Y., April 20. Approxi¬ 
mately 100 Guernsey breeders from all 
over the State attended the meeting. 
W. E. Davis, secretary of the state 
association gave a report on nine 
months work of the association. His 
report showed a rapid growth in the 
association which bids well for the 
future of the business in New York 
State. The two sales held during the 
last year resulted in financial returns 
to the association. 
Plans , were formulated relative to 
the coming National Dairy Show, which 
followed shortly after the State Fair. 
The entertainment of visiting Guernsey 
breeders at the show was discussed; as 
a result action will be taken to enter¬ 
tain visiting Guernsey men from other 
States, 
The association has been asked to 
name a member to represent their in¬ 
terests on the cooperative council. A 
committee was appointed to confer with 
a committee from the American Guern¬ 
sey Cattle Club relative to the adoption 
of a cap or seal for milk bottles con¬ 
taining Guernsey milk. 
A new feature of the association is 
the Junior Association for boys and 
girls who are members of calf clubs. 
Their association will be known as the 
Junior New York State Guernsey 
Breeders’ Association. The State asso¬ 
ciation plans to furnish ribbons for 
junior project exhibitors who are mem¬ 
bers of calf clubs winning at county 
fairs. 
Carl Musser, associate secretary of 
the American Guernsey Cattle Club, 
gave some Interesting facts relative to 
A. R. work and a review of the official 
records. 
Dr. W. W. Williams, veterinary 
surgeon of Springfield, Mass., and the 
soruof Dr, Williams of the New York 
State Veterinary College at Cornell, 
gave an interesting talk on diseases, 
illustrating his discussion with slides. 
The last feature of the program con¬ 
sisted of the distribution of the cups for 
1922. Those who were awarded cups 
are as follows:

Right here I want to say that we 
have not been without your paper, the 
American Agriculturist, in over 12 
years, and would not think of getting 
along without it on any account. We 
believe it is one of the best farm papers 
ever published. — Mrs. D. Hilliard,

"■^Caw Testers Know 
that Delaval Separators 
Skim the Cleanest 
Statements from over half the cow testers employed by cow test¬ 
ing associations throughout the. United States, reaching over 6000 
farms, give additional proof of the superior skimming efficiency of 
De Laval Separators. 
Cow testers know best of all what cream separators are used most, 
which skim cleanest and last longest, because they regularly test the 
skim-milk from the separators owned by their members. They say: 
—“I find on an average De Laval Separators skim cleaner—from a trace to .04 of 
one per cent. Thirteen out of nineteen separators here are De Lavals.”* (.01 of 
one per cent equals one lb. out of every 10,000.) 
—“Out of 48 separator users 29 use De Lavals. I’ve found them the best skimmers 
for the longest time.”* 
—“26 members have separators, and 22 are De Lavals. They give the best 
satisfaction after considering all points.”* , 
—“De Laval Separators have no equal for quality and 
efficiency. 15 out of 20 are De Lavals.”* 
—“90% of the separators used by my members are De 
Lavals. The majority skim closer than .02 of one 
per cent.”* 
—“The De Laval is a very close skimmer under 
any and all conditions. 95% of the separators 
here are De Lavals.”* 
—“I have25members and 18 use De Lavals. I have 
not had one test below .06 of one per cent,”* 
•Authorities for these statements from cow 
testers, together with many others equally good, 
are contained in a booklet entitled “Cow Test¬ 
ers—What They Do and What They Say About 
De Laval Cream Separators and Milkers.” 
Send for it—contains information about 
the value of cow testing associations.
