MilkinQ Machines.

OF the various makes Of milking
machines that are being sold on the
market the Thistle seems to stand at
the head, though it has few friends
in the United States. We hear from
1t however from time. to time in Eng.
land, Germany and Australia. In
those countries it is being tested quite
extensively, with varying results so
far as making itself friends and enc
mics. In recent tests in Germany it
has been used continually for year
or two but the COWS where it is used
are not kept for milking purposes be.
yond year and half. Then they
are sold to the butchers and new cows
purchased. 1t has been asserted that
the milking machines dry up the cows
and reduce the length of the milking
period. With cows that are only to be
MIXED to the end of one milking pc.
Rod it is impossible to ascertain the
truth of this. A few cows purchased
would not allow themselves to be
MIXED by the machine. Some of the
hard-milking COWS had to be stripped
by hand after the machine had done
what it could, but the easy. milking
COWS were MIXED clean by it. 1T
seems to be evident that if we are
to. have milking machines we will
have to develop: a, special class of
COWS with. teats of a certain conforma-
ton and with. milk ducts that easily
and quickly give down the milk. .,
