A PUMP SEPARATOR IS THE BEGINNING OF A LARGE BANKING ACCOUNT. One of the greatest aids m raising the percentage of prolits on the farm, is to cut the cost of production. Had we still recourse to the old hand-skimming method of winning the cream with a pop forated scoop, dairy faming would not be worth "powder and shot.” Thants to a generation of progress—and principally to the ingenious invention known as the "Pump” Separator—dairy farming is a more profitable game than ever. The wonderfully clean skimming of the
"Pump” is a leal "cost of production reducer.’’ The official test shows only 0.02 per cent, of fat left in the skim milk—truly a great performance I Thus you will see that from extra butter-fat alone, the "Pump” is a profit winner far above the average. A "Pump” Sanarator is yours, Mr Parmer, at a saving of pounds in money; while it will make additional profits, at less cost and with greater efficiency. Write for particulars of our Free Trial offer. The "Pump” Separator No. 13 capacity 33 gallons per hour. Cash price, £l3 10s; terms, ,€ll 10s. Joseph Nathan and Co., Ltd., Queen street, Palmerston North. •
