at the Darlington Fair where 1t at
tracted more attention than any other
novelty on exhibition. The machine
has been so thoroughly tested by eX-
berts that it is now considered to be
almost perfect, and it has given so
much satisfaction as to warrant the
erection Of large works for the man
ufacture Of the machinery. It's con-
gtruction is based on the principle OF
suction produced by vacuum in teat
cup, which, pressed against the teat
OF a COW, extracts the milk, which is
carried off to a receiving pail. While
the teat is drained Of its milk, air en-
ters the cup, allowing the former
pressure to relax, and the teat is again
filled with milk from the udder.
Vacuum is once more created in the
teat cup, which again collapses, press
ing out the milk into the tube, and it
then passes to be received as before,
The exhaustion Is, of course, effected
by means Of the air pump, which can
be worked by the motive power most
convenient.
"The teat cup is by far the most i'm
portant part Of the machine, Great
difficulty was experienced in manufac-
turing the cup on account Of the COM
,plications Of movement required in i'm
utating the calf's lip and tongue spe-
cial machinery having to be manufac-
tured for this alone. These teat cups
are about the size Of an ordinary wine
glass, are made OF flexible india-rubber
and are adapted to any COW,
1.-THE four cups join at the bottom,
with a tube attached long enough to
carry the milk to the glass cylinder or
trap on the top Of the pail. Another
tube connects this glass trap with the
exhaust pipe running overhead. When
the cups are placed on the teats and
the exclusion Of air is complete the
milk begins to flow, not in a con-
tinuous stream, but intermittently,
streaming into the glass receiver with
each respiration Of the pulsometer, just
as it would when the hand closes on
the teat in the act Of milking, the mo-
mentary interval between each stroke
being exactly the same.
"By aid Of the glass receiver the at
tendant is enabled to see when the
milk ceases to flow, and then removes
the cups at once. Should the suction
20 on, however after the milk ceases
ito flow, no injury will be done. This
mas been fully borne out by practical
experiment. 1t is also worthy of note
that the milk 'froths up in the pail
Just the same as if done by hand. The
friction is so gentle that the COWS seem
to enjoy being MIXED by it.
ga hand machine for four COWS, with
a woman and lad, is capable of milk.
ing thirty COWS in less time than foul
women can do it. Larger machines are
being fitted to milk large numbers a
ia time.
"The most obvious advantage to b
derived from milking machine lies il
the fact that large lumber of cow
can be MIXED with the employment o
but few hands. This is matter c
greater Importance in dairying than II

sought to be introduced, because, Will

"There is nothing like it, said an
old smoker to me yesterday. 1T is
light, porous and yields to the pressure
of the teeth Smoke drawn through

The structure is porous, and l suppose
the outside air gets through and takes
off the hot, biting taste. There is no
danger of man getting his tongue
burned if he uses turkey bone stem
Wild turkey bones are the best.

Every Woman Has Her Own Tint.

DNSNJ WOihdH ms iiSF OWN INIT
Every woman, whether she knows it
or not, has a color or colors that are
hers by right of suitability, and, how
ever much her eyes may be captivated
by other tints, she should not be led
astray by her fancy. Again, certain
shades Of a particular color are often as
unbeooming to a woman's complexion
as others are the reverse. Thus, not
only colors, but shades, have to be stud
led and understood il harmony in these
and the becoming in dress are to be
attained. Some women only get far
enough on the road of good taste in
dress to choose colors and materials
that blend we'll or contrast better, but
not far enough to take into considera-
tion the more important question of
whether the choice made is one that
will conduce to their personal advan-
tage. There is prevailing idea that
men lean toward the plain if not
strictly severe style Of dress, or what is
now termed tailor-made. The palmer
the cut Of bodice and the less elabor-
ate in make, the more becoming it is
to the figure Of the wearer, and the
more it appeals to the masculine taste.
Many men go step farther and abso-
lutely taboo the present style of tea
gown, dear to the hearts Of women.
From, their point of view the tea gown,
concealing the waist, destroys the sym
metry of the figure; and, therefore
should only be worn in the bedroom
and not out of it. To this mandate
MANY wives have to bow.

all to find "where they are at"
One can't feel chagrined in his or
