Improremcnta In milking machine, there
fore, ar of vital Interest to dairymen and
consumer alike. Tba department af agricul
ture experta - believe that . aooa milking ma
chine will be anc carefully operated.
It baa long been realised that a eaereeafnl
and practical cow milker would Bteaa a profit
able revolution of tbe dairy Industry, aa It
would render tha work of milking much oaaler
and reduce tbe Beceeolty for hired help, thua
making tbe datrrmen more Independent. Tue
German writer Martlny atatea that 0 different
Bitlkuig Biachtnee known to- him bed been
Eaten ted la different eonntrteg or mentioned

aad ISO.
ataar Milking auekiaaa.
Tha annoal reports of the I'nlted Statee'com-
m ia loner of patanta ebow that during tba
period of 04 years from 1872 to l0ft tnclualve,
127 oatente were taken out ta thla country
alone for at liking macblnea or eeparale parte
of them.
Naturally, tha urge dairyman will Bo the
ftrat to adopt tha cow milker for tba reaaua
tbat hie equipment will coet hire leas per
than tbe email dairyman. Again. ,tue
large dairymen baa mora at atake and ka to

number of belpera. With tba Installation nf
tba milking machine tbe largo aalryman wooia
be much mora Independent, and It neeeaaary
could milk a herd of 60 cowe without assist-,
aace. Tbla would be aext to Impoealble with.
eut It. However, there aeema to ha ao good
reaeoa wby a dairyman with a herd or even
10 or 12 cow could not see a machine with
profit.
Bcareixy ei atuaan,
Tba acarclty of milker and tbe anrellablllry
of many of tbem baa bed a tendency to keep
many men rrom going inco aairy. Terming.
Home dairymen who hare beea la the bual
neee have been obliged to give It up for this
Greet tn teres t therefore cent era around
the milking machine, eapeclally where the above
difficulty exteta. It la believed also that tbe
advent of the milking machine will hare a
tendency among faruiere who now hare email
dalrlee to enlarge their plant and to make
dairying their chief buslneaa. Tbe trouble baa
been In the paat tbat too many farmera have
made dairying aecondary to other work and
whea anything bad te he neglected it wa al-
waya tha dairy. ToPHhbj reaeoa tha profile
from tbetr dalrlee nave elwaye neea email.
Where milking machlnee have been Introduced
they have influenced dairymen to cleea up
their harne and take Biare priae tb meir worn.
Thla naturally will result tn tba -prodoctiaa of
cleaner milk and perhaps ta eoma eeaee la

he welcomed by th industry.
