against the upper peephole, SO that both the
milk and the time of its ceasing to flow may
be easily noted.
Each cows milk is delivered to separate
pail where it can be weighed and exam
ined before it is mixed with that from the
other COWS, and what is a very important
feature all milk is constantly enclosed
away from contamination and free from
hair, flies and other dirt.
AS to the speed of the machine, no at
tempt has been made to milk an individual
cow faster than a good mixer will milk by
hand, believing it to be injurious to the cow
to break down the colostrum faster than
nature has provided
The rapidty of milking comes through
the fact that one man can handle from four
to eight buckets, and with less labor than
hand milking do the work of from four to
eight mixers.
The quickness and deXterity of the man
will determine the speed of milking just as
the qtickness and dexterity of rider de-
termines the speed he will make on d bicy-
Gle, and like the bicycle rider he will become
more expert with practice.
The effect of the LactatOr on the cow we
can, we think say without hesitation, is
beneficial. Our experience leads us to be-
1ieve that the flow of milk will be increased
over that which would be secured by hand

THE SHARPLES MIXER.

r. NJ. Sharples has recently invented a
milking machine which he has tested for
some months and claims that it is practical
working machine. He is manufacturing
limited number, and if they prove the sue
cess he anticipates will Immediately equip
a large factory for making same. From
circular he sends The Ranch we take the
following description:
A vacuum air pump is located at any
point convenient to power to operate 1t,
such as gas engine, steam engine, horse pow
err water power or steam boiler. From this
the piping system is run over the different
lines of stalls and drop pipe descends into
each stall, terminating from Is to "a inches
above the cows back.
This system of pipes is an inexpensive
matter and should be run just the same as
any gas pipe system in house. 1t is for
the passage of air only, no milk goes into
the pipes whatever.
A small fitting is placed on the ends of
each Of these pipes, and the mere hanging
of the milk buckets on the fitting by hook
attached to the milk pail is all that is needed
to make the connection.
From the milk pail which is nothing more
than an ordinary pail with tight lid, and
glass peepholes down the side, SO that the
milk can be seen, a small rubber tube runs
to the teat cups, which are attached to the
cows teats.
Between the teat cups is located simple
valve and chamber no larger in dimensions
than a hens egg, but which contains the
soul Of the machine
Operation.
The pump is started so as to produce
partial vacuum in the system Of pipes The
milk pail is then hung on the end of the
pipe over the COW and the teat cups slipped
onto the cows teats.
A quarter turn of valve sets the appar
atus to work. and no further attention is
necessary for some minutes or until the
cow is MIXED, which requires about the
same length of time as good hand mixer
Tn the meantime, other buckets and teat
cps are attached, perhaps four or five such,
depending on the deXterity and experience
of the attendant but requiring no especial
skill whatever
The milk can be seen flowing into the
bucket and when it ceases to flow the milk
ing is finished and the bucket can be shifted
to the next cow, emptying the milk from
it. of course, when it becomes too full.
The cleaning of the apparatus is little
more difficult than the cleaning of an ordi-
nary milk pail the passing of little cold
water through the valve and tubing being
all that is necessary, this for the reason that
the passing of air through the tubes while
the machine is in operation produces kind
of constant washing effect which prevents
the Judgment of any deposit on them. All
parts are however, easily accessible, and
can be washed with d brush if desired.
The Features.
The sympathetic action of the pulsatOr
is the vital feature in milking never before
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-06-15


milking. Certain it is that there is no pos
sible in Jury to the COW, and the gentle, per
suasive manner of the Lactator seems to be
always agreeable to the COW, and for this
very reason would have a tendency to in
crease the milk flow.
An occasional COW, when the machine is
applied for the first time, may be unable to
understand just what is going on, but after
one or two mlkings she thinks nothing fur
Their of it, and accepts it as the best subStl-
tute for a calf she has ever had,
Young, tender heifers will stand nicely
to it from the first, while sore teated COWS
will stand better than with hand milking,
unless the latter is very carefully done
The writer has seen nervous COWS stand
perfectly quiet from the start and content
edly eat their food and when through with
that turn their heads and look long and fix
edly at the teat cups, as though inquiring
what manner of calf that thing was, but
without the slightest indication of objec-
ton.
The Cost.
Our charge for one bucket complete with
sympathetic pulsator, teat cups and connec-
tions is $40 and the same price for each adj
ditional bucket One additional bucket
should be provided for each eight or ten
additional COWS.
We can furnish the necessary vacuum
pump and reservoir for $50 and this will be
of sufficient capacity for even quite large
diaries.
The power for driving this pump will pre-
ferably be a, h. p. gasoline engine which
can be of any standard make, or we will fur
nish if desired
Any power already in use, or steam en-
CINE or steam boiler may be substituted for
the gas engine.
The main feature is that some quickly
available power should be used, as this pow
er is wanted early in the morning when it
is not convenient to rise extra early to get
up steam.
With gasoline engine the milking proc
ess may begin at once, and the engine and
pump can be located as far from the barn
as thought best on account of safety.
The necessary piping should be done by
local plumber and is inexpensive, the exact
expense depending, however, on the loca-
ton of the stables and other local conditions.
Prof Wol, of the Wisconsin Experiment
Station, reports that an analysis of a sample
of the Gail Borden Eagle Brand of con-
densed milk was recently made at the Wis
consin Station. The analysis showed that
if the milk from which the condensed prod
uct was made had contained four percent of
butter fat about two-thirds Of this was
moved before canning The label on the
can recited that the condensed milk was the
same article as that sold 40 years prior to
1880 by the New York Condensed Milk

s Robert P. Stinson, who is heavily in

THE PANAMA SITUATION.

80 rzr-------- -
The real truth about the Panama in |
surrection-it should hardly yet be dig
nifed by the title Of revolution
would make mighty interesting read
ing. For instance, we would like very
much to, know where the fund with
which to purchase arms. ammunition
and supplies for the insurgents is COM
ing from. Will it be contributed by
the patriots themselves, or will it
come from the strong boxes of the
men who expect to divide the $40,-
900 proposed to be paid by this
government to the Panama canal pro-
moters?
It is quite easy to imagine that the
lobby would look upon contribution
to the insurrectionist cause as q sound
business investment. And, indeed, that
is exactly what it would be. For a
very small proportion Of 100000
it should be easy to maintain right
lively revolution in Panama It is
probably true, as stated in the dispatch
es, that the citizens of Panama are al
most q unit in favor of the canal, bat
we doubt if they would have sum-
moned up the courage to revolt az
.ainst the action of the Colombian con-
gress in rejecting the Hay-Herran
treaty if they had not been assured
in advance of succor from outside
sources. ,@E9
A decidedly significant feature of the
dispatches is the statement that the
United States consuls have practically
made no effort to conceal their friend
true, is very grave breach of dip,o-
matte usage and should be rebuked ut
once. While the sentiment in the Uni
ted States is largely in favor of the
Panama canal, that fact does not JUS
tify our consuls in working either ss-
cretly or openly against the govern
ment to which they are accredit ID.
Colombia has ample ground for a
sharp complaint if the state of case
suggested in the reports can be concll-
sively proven. ~
Nor can this government, in the in
terest of fair dealing. afford to give
any countenance to the rebels The
request cabled from, Panama that tn :.
United States recognize the alleged

partment has as yet no Official know.
ledge that q new government exists in
Panama, and II It did have such =
knowledge, . recognition Of theerebels

It has never been the policy Of the
United States to interfere, as between
the combatants, in South American
revolutions. We have compelled Other
nations to keep their hands on and We
have pursued . similar policy our

taste for M to interfere in this in
