THE MoNnGOMBRY ADVERTISER

too early to predict that they will su- percede the human fingers. as machin- cry has taken the place of human hands in so many respects.
 As with cotton picking so it has been with milking the cows. There Is a great deal of romance and poetry con nectcd with this necessary part of the farm work. We have all read of the pretty milkmaid. the lowing kline. the foaming milk paiis and all that. but 1t takes The New York Mail to knock the romance out by saying that milk ing by hand, with chilblained fingers, has been responsible for more crime, more wrecked homes, more treason and strategems, more deep-seated, inerad- icable misanthropy, more dissatisfaction with our institutions, more desertion of the farm and ovcrcrowding of the cities, more strain on popular govern ment more indictment to anarchy and sedition. than any other one cause. Milking by hand has meant the diner- ence between an idyll and nightmare to the boy who lived in the country. It has maoe him hate his father. des- pise all living things, throw the teacher out of the scnool house, and ultimately desert the simple, honest, honorable life of the farm to become corpor- ation lawyer. or Senator. or some- thing equally discreditable.
 Perhaps it isn't quite so bad as that with the average farm people, but all
 who have tried it know that milking is a slow and often quite painful and dlsagreeable part of farm drudgery, and if the work can be done quickly and easily by some kind of machine IL certainly will be a pleasant relief to the men and Women who now do this work. AS In the case of the cotton picker we
 have heard often of the mechanical milker but heretofore they have not proved successful. Now we are assur-
 ed that one has been completed which has received the endorsement of the Federal Department of Agriculture and are expected to believe that 1t will do it's work to the queens taste. Per haps it will, but most people will re- quire to be shown before they are pre- pared to admit that machine is to take the place of the human hand as milk extractor. If it Is a success 1t will knock out the romance. but will also be a relief to many human beings.
