EASY MILKING.
4 Dickinson County FarmerUses
q Machine.
Pumps Two Cows Dry in From
Five to Seven Minutes.
THE ANIMALS ENJOY TT
Done By Suction in the Same
Style the Calf Does.
Weighs SO Pounds and Runs
Like Sewing III achine.

Abilene, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE Re-
fector says:
Everyone owning COWS will be inter-
ested in milking machine, especially
those farmers who are in dairy bust
ness. A milking machine has been in
use on the farm of Leonard Schwen-
dener, four miles west of Woodbine,
Kan. for four months and has given
entire satisfaction. 1t milks one or
two COWS at a time. 1t milks two cows
in from five to seven minutes clean.
After the COWS are used to It they
like to be MIXED with the machine
better than by hand. It has no bad
effect on the cows, the milking being
done by suction, the way the calf gets
it's milk. The machine is simple in
construction, is easy to operate and
durable. It weighs thirty-six pounds
and requires about as much force to
run 1t as q sewing machine.
George Lenhert, five miles south Of
Abilene, and Mr.. Engle went to Man
haitian, Kan, to see the milking ma
department in the experiment station.
They say the machine milks well there
but is rather expensive for the farmer
It costs from $500 to 5000 and is run
by steam power. George Lenhert OF
Abilene and A D. Blanchard Of Her
ington, Kan, both experienced dairy
men, have seen the Woodbine mixer.
and found its work satisfactory. It
works on the same principle as the
Manhattan machine. Both gentlemen
have ordered a Foot Power Cow
Mixer seeing it is a mixer that will
suit the farmer who milks from ten to
thirty-fve cows. One machine will be
at the Dickinson county fair held at
Abilene showing its work.
