I am well pleased with tlie No. 3 Improved U. S. Creara Separator, whlch I am
running in a dairy of CO cows, and evory ono is pleased with it who has been in to see it
work. A friend who waa prejudiced in favor of anotlier separator, afler witneasine; its
work, said I had made no miatake. One of the directors of a creamery using a differ
ent make called at the farra, and nfter looking tlie separator all over and seeing it
work, said it was better than tlieirs. It skims very thoroughly, and runs up to full
capacity. O. W. BROWNELL. (Secretary of State).

Tho Improved U. S. Separator ia doing all nnd oven moro than is claimed by your

After using your No. fi U. S. Separator for a
year, can report to you tliat it ia entirely satis
factory in every way. It Is easily kcpt clean
and in order, and sklms tliorouglily.
The machine ia operated by animal power,
which we find a great improvement. We began
with a yearling bull, and when lio had grown to
auth dimenaiona and weight that it seemed
daiigerous to tlio machine, we changed, break
ing in a small cow. It was very little trouble
to make the change. The second trial of the
animal in the power, sbo ran tho Separator all
