NIL KING MACHINES.

As machines have besn invented and
brought into successful use for doing most
of the unpleasant work on the farms. it is
but natural that inventors should try and
perfect means for drawing milk from the
udder of COWS. Milking is not pleasant
occupation TO most persons, and there are
other reasons that make it desirable to do
the work by the aid of machine. No
person can milk more than an hour at a
time without becoming fatigued, and, as q
consequence, il is necessary to keep large
number OF mixers oa c large dairy farm
1t is often difficult to furnish profitable
occupation for them during most of the
day. The National Lire Stock Journal sug
gests that the correct principle has never
been employed IN the construction of a
milking machine, and says "The ques.
ton which ID often asked, whether there is
milking machine which successfully takes
the place of handwriting, may yet be an
swered in the negative, and very likely
Will continue TO be so answered for some
time to come. It certainly will be an.
swered negatively until the efforts of in
ventive genius are turned in some other di.
rection than the vain attempt to devise
some machine which will successfully imi-
tate the sucking of a calf Though every
inventor has seemed to hold this before his
minds eye as the model to work M to. il
Is not what is wanted. Such an accom-.
plishment would only tend to carry the
cow back toward state of nature. and to
reduce her artiticially developed adder and
her unnaturally large yield of milk TO their
naturally diminutive capacity. The suck.
ing of q calf may exhaust the milk from
the udder sooner than the human hard.
but it has never, even when accompanied
with the most luxuriant pasturace. proved
ethcacious in developing an increase of size
or energy in the mammary glands OF
its dam, nor in maintaining them

ON the contrary, has diminished them,
Whenever good milking stock has
turned out upon the prsiries, and the cows

observed whenever breeders have turned
calves with cows, other than their dams. to
nurse: Though not the only agent in de.
velOping energy in mammary secretions,

sary, the gentle manipulations OF the hum7n
hand in extracting milk have proved a sine
