MILKING MACHINE.
The milking m%chine ha< wmo to slay.
An exhibit of a rnas'il.'io at the recent
I-alrymen's Convention In New York
showed this fact very plainly. Dairymen
from every part of the state and even
from the good old state Of Maine, were
pnsent to witness the workings of this
wonderful machine. The four cows
which were to be milked stood on a floor-
ing of sawdust and shavings and seemed
mentioned. But the afternoon exhibit-
ions were always witnessed by a host of
imerested spectators.
The milking machine is a simple affair,
consisting of a large pail fitted with a
co* er at the top, and on this was located
a small engine, running either by gaso-
rniliated a nunjber of tabes of rubber
about an Inch and a quarter in diameter,
at the outer end of which were four rub-
ber handles, hallow, to fit over the teats,
and long enough to take In the. largest
teat. Two sizes of these appliances

Triplet calves born In Iowa. All well and thriving
to be for the most,part well satisfied with
tteir surroundings, although the Invent-
or of the machine more than once told
the spectators who crowded noisily about
tie stage that If they would keep more
quiet the cows would -do better: that they
were knowing animals and understood
as well aB- anyone what was going on.
Two performances were given every
day, the first at four o'clock in the morn-
ing and the other at the same hour in
the afternoon. It Is safe to say that the
operation of milking was carried on with
little operation at the early hour first
were shown, to meet the requirements of
large and small cows.
The handles being fitted on, the engine
is started and by the power of suction
the milk is drawn from the udder. The
motion was rythmical, in imitation of the
working of the human hand; and so far
as one could see was not attended by any
unpleasant sensations on the part <of the
cow. Two were milked at once, one
attendant caring for the two. One man
could not very well care for more than
twe cows at a time.

Reasons why the Peerless Is the Best
1st. Twice the capacjty of any other bowl, That is
to «ay two times smaller than any other bowl of
equal capacity.
2nd. Compound feature, two bowls in one, hollow
bowl, and disk bowl combining all the features in
the tubular and disk machines.
Hrd. Enclosed frame. Free from dust. Injury re-
sulting from machine impossible-
4thi Perfectly ueiseless.
th. Heavy, enough and strong enough to lift a
box car, which insures durability.
<Hh. The bushings made of phosphor broti*, the
most serviceable material for the purpose. Kitted
and guaranteed to be accurate to 1-2 to 1-I1OI of an
inch
7th. Every journal bushed with brass er phosphor
bionz This fact together with the fine adjustment
inscribed above, accounts for the light draft ol the
l'KHRl.ESS machine. Each bushing is made in du-
plicate and interchangeable and if at any time they
show wear they can be nyilaced at a smart cost.
8th. At normal temperature the skimmed milk
will alwaysshow less than 6-lC0of i percent butter

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A
DE LAVAL
CREAM SEPARATOR.
BECAUSE—It will snve you at least $10 to $15
O ® • •
per cow every year of use over any gravity set-
ting or skimming process, and last you at least
twenty years.
BECAUSE—It will save you at least $5 per
cow every year of use over any imitating cream
separator, and last you from five to ten times as
long.
BECAUSE—In proportion to actual capacity
and durability it is not only tlie best but also
the cheapest of cream separators, and saves its
tost the first year of its use. *
BECAUSE—It can be bought either for cash or
on such liberal terms that it actually pays for
itself.
BECAUSE-Being the first of separators it
has always kept far in the lead, being protected
by one important patent after another, and its
sales are ten times those of all other machines
combined.
A new' DE LAVAL, catalogue explaining
these facts and many others in detail is to be
had for the asking. .

one mlnuae, when worked at a fair rate
of speed. At this exhibition, .however,
much longer time than that was consum-
ed In order to give all a chance to wlt-
r<.p the performance.
Now as to the practical adaption of
this machine. Surely, the cows which
were on exhibition at the New York state
convention, to all appearanaes, were fully
ai weil satisfied with the working of the
machine as they might have been had
they been in the hands of the ordinary
milker, and far more so than they might
have been when subjected to the pul-
lirg and hauling of farm hands who have
little or no sympathy with their cows,
"he question of the clean milking of a
cow is one of such importance t'rijit It
must be taken into account.
It was said at the -convention that those
who did try the cows after the machine
had done its work were in the main sat-
isfied that the9milking was perfectly
done. If that Is true, it adds much to
the value of the machine.
« The inventor of the machine stated
that he could equip a barn of thirty cows
Willi this apparatus for $300, and believed
that it would be a profitable investment
for a dairy of that size. 9
repose this secretion will not take place
normally. The lesson to be derived from
t'.i'is is that the cow should be treated
with the greatest gentleness and be
otherwise froe from excitement, especial-
ly during the time of milking or suckling.

the well known phenomena of not
"giving down" milk is the result of lack
of nervous tone in the glands brought a-
b.n-t by excitement. The udder is not
a container in which the milk is ready
stored ui> at milking time, but an organ
i'i which the greater part of the milk is
elaborate while milking or suckling la
in progress, by virtue of the agitation It
produces. Unless the cow Is In perfect

That when a cow is In full milk and
full flesh she will give her normal qual-

even though the quality and quantity of

will take off her body whatever Is d~

"That an cktra supply of nutritious
food at all times Increases the auantlty
