A Real Blessing 60 Farmers

Yesterday morning we had the pleas
ure of witnessing the practical working
Of the American Cow Milking Machine,
and, in our judgement, based upon
personal observation, we think it one
of the best inventions 10 save time and
labor now in use BY very simple
arrangement, the working OF a rubber
diaphragm under each teat-cUp produ-
ces sudden strong remittlng suction,
like q calf, which draws the milk and
passes IL into the center receiver, and
so out into the pail. The operator sits
up to the COW as usual, places the four
teats in the teat-cups, worksth handle
slowly back and forth, and, like four
calves, he inllks the cow; like them, also,
the machine draws and stops drawing
TO swallow. At thirty minutes past
six A. NJ, on the occasion referred to,
the machine was apphed, and in two
minutes time the milking was entirely
completed, inclusive of the process
technically known as stripping. -
The subject was a COW entirely unused
to the machine, and yet during the
progress Of the experiment the animal
was remarkably quiet and tractablc
under tho operators manipulations.--
To those who have been familiar with
the annoyance which vex our country
women, who have charge of the dairy,
the results which flowed from the ma
chine were as agreeable Ms they were
surprising. The unanimous verdict
was Gas Mrs. Toodles would say they
are "a good thing to have in the house" "
