MILKs SIX cows AT ONCE
A Germans Invention That saves
Time and Expense.

In Germany they have invented a ma
chine for milking the COW. The inventor
is named Murchland and his machine is
now In successful operation.
The principle OF the machine is merely
suction through long tubes. The advant-
ages of II are the saving of expense and
the greatly increased cleanliness due to
the fact that human hands do not have
TO come In contact with the cow or the
milk. An iron tube an inch and a half in
diameter runs all around the COW shed
at height OF about three feet above the
animals shoulders This Is the distribute
ing pipe. and from il descends to the side
OF each animal a steriiixed rubber tube
ending in the milk reservoir placed under
the cow These reservoirs are OF cylin-
dricai form and alright. with thick glass
cover. From the reservoir a tube with
four mouths connects with the four udders
of the cow. Instead of a handle the res
ervoir has two hooks at the side. TO which
is attached band which passes over the
cows body and holds the reservoir at the
right place.
great cylinder installed In the ceiling. and
from which tube descends vertically into
vat OF pure water. A hand pump serves
TO draw the air out of the cylinder. Rare
faction then takes place and extends
throughout the system of tubes. The con-
nection between the pneumatic cylinder
and the vat OF water serves TO reguIarize
the pressure. A few strokes of the pi1mp
starts the work Of milking the cows. There
is a faucet at the end OF the tube leading
TO each reservoir. and as soon as this is
opened the work of milking begins-New
