Milking Machines

In a recent report by the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station re-
suits are given of a series of expert
ments that had been completed at the
university farm with milking machines.
The tests were made with a view to
determining:
L. The efficiency of machine milk
ing with COWS of different bre5 DIS,
ages, stages of lactation, disposition,
and conformation of udders and teats.
2. The economy of machine milking
as compared with hand milking.
8. The influence Of the machine
on the bacterial flora of the milk and
on its keeping quality.
4. The influence of the machine
on the udders and teats of the machine
MIXED scows and on their general
health.
). The experience with machine
milking in other dairy herds in this
state.
1t is stated that 80 different cows
were included in the experiments;
these were machine MIXED for pc
RODS ranging from four to 76 weeks,
II COWS being machine MIXED during
two different lactation periods. The
experiments, therefore, included 40
different trials lasting on the average
nearly 26 weeks each. The cows on
the experiments had been in milk from
three to 412 days at the beginning of
the trials, the average number of days
from calving at that time being ia.
With but few exceptions, the cows
MIXED by the milking machine in the
dairy herd took kindly to this method
of milking after they had become ac-
custOmed to it, without regard to the
breed or the age of the cows.
AS a general rule, the COWS did not
quite come up to their usual yield the
first few days they were MIXED by
the machine, but as We have seen, the
yields obtained during the first few
weeks were nearly up to the normal.
In. the case of several cows the
yields of milk obtained by machine
milking were normal from the begin
Ming and other COWS apparently
MIXED better and quicker by the ma
chine than by hand after they were
once used to the former method of
milking On the other hand, the shape
size and quality of the udders and
teats of a few cows seemed to make
it impossible for the machine to do
efficient work with them. Teats alb
morally small or large, and warty or
meaty teats, are in our experience apt
to render machine milking more or

JEREMIAH n. GILMAN.

Gen. jeremiah H. Gilman, the hero
of Fort Pickens, who as young lieu
tenant in the Union army held that
stronghold against the Confederate
forces at the beginning of the Civil
war, and who died this year in New
York, was born Nov. IL, 1880.
Gen. Gilman was graduated from
the Military Academy in the class of
1856, received a commission as Sec
ond lieutenant in the latter part of
that year, became first lieutenant on
April q, 1861, and a captain a month
later This last honor was given him
after President Lincoln had publicly
commended him for bravery and the
Chamber of Commerce of New York
had presented him with medal
At the outbreak of the war Lieut..
Gilman, with seventy men of the
United States Artillery. held Fort
Pickens, which was located on an
island commanding Pensacola Har-
Dor, on the Florida coast.
Here he was besieged by a force of
5000 Confederate troops sent by Gen.
Bragg to take the important post.
Tradition has it that the first shot of
the great conflict was fired before
Fort Pickens, which was attacked

which remained in Union hands
throughout the four years struggle
was held until achievements ar

Union admiral and the navy yard

the latter was of little use to him. foi
Fort Pickens he'd the mouth of the
harbor against all corners.
After being relieved Gilman, now
captain, was appointed chief Of the
United States Artillery Of the Army
of the Cumberland, with which he
took part in many of the leading bat
ties of the war. At the battle OF
Pittsburg Landing he was wounded
in the leg. Shortly afterWard he was
brevetted major. and later colonel.
At the close of the war Col. Gilman
became assistant commissary-gene

I less unsatisfactory Teats which are
very close together also give some diff
| nculty. The quality of the udder as
regards fieshiness and evennesS of
| quarters apparently influences the eff
fciency and the ease with which the
milk is drawn by the machine. Cows
having normal udders, as general
rule, give down the milk with very
little manipulation, while in the case
of COWS with more or less defective
udders or teats, considerable manip-
ulation is necessary. The amount of
strippings obtained during the prog
ress of the experiment for the diff
ferent cows gradually decreased from
the first to the tenth week, and after
this period Ahe weight of strippings
remained practically constant at one
to three pounds per week, or L to 2
of a pound per milking.
The installation of the milking ma
chine in a herd of, say, 80 cows will
involve an expenditure of at least $500,
if the cost of an engine or other pow
err required for running the machine is
included, viz:
To the interest of $500. or say $25
a year, should be added the cost of OPP
Grating the machine expenses for re-
pairs, depreciation of machine, etc,
and this sum should be compared with
the saving that may be reasonably eX-
pected by the change from. hand to ma
chine milking.
The cost of power for running two
machines by the horsepower
electric motor operating the milking
machine used in these experiments
was on the average four cents Per
hour or about six cents per milking, i.
e., about $3.50 per month. This cost
is on the basis of five cents per kilo
watt the price charged the university
for power by the local electric COM
pany. This expense can possibly be
somewhat reduced by the use of a
gasoline engine, or a steam ejector,
if the latter method of creating
vacuum proves practicable.
The success of machine milking will
depend largely upon the man operat-
ing the machine and on his attitude
toward machine milking. If the ma
chine is given a fair trial and the d.
rections of the manufacturers arr
carefully followed, machine milking
will, as general rule, be a success,
at least to the extent of approximate
ing the results obtained by good hand
mixers and perhaps even improving

offered for automobile use depart from
this rule.
Short coats for walking use are seen
here and there, broadtail and Persian
lamb shaping the majority of these,
which skins, by the way, are especial
the privilege of the elderly and those il
mourning. Such little coats are entirely
loose OF half-fitting, and as the collars
are often made to roll up about the
ears, only muff is necessary with
them.
In the way of oddities in the muf
and hat department, the breasts OF
various birds are sometimes used to
shape these things, and. though it
seems cruel even to look at them, some
of these muffs and hats are exceeding
ly lovely Grebe, colored as grebe was
never colored before, is much used for
these odd sets of muff and hat.
Apropos to this combination, it is by
no means the smart thing to buy a fur
hat without a matching muff, and, of
course, the two, when worn for street
use, would go with a very Well-made
cloth or wide vale serge dress.

and trimmed very simply with some
outstanding ornament at the left side
Almost all of the smarter skins may be
used for these very daShing hats, and
when the money for the fur fails, there
are materials by the yard which can be
used, these so nearly initiating the ami
NAL skin that it takes an expert to tell
the make-believe at a little distance
Round crown pieces of beaver, which
is a long haired substance that seems
the first cousin to fur, is often prefer
red to an actual fur for these hats, as
it is lighter and more generally ser
viceable than the animal skin.
The next street shape admired for
the fur hat is a walking model with the

to the lines of this. But instead of the
blunt panache of fancy feathers. or the
stiff aigrette used on the Russian tur-
ban, the ornament upon such hat
may be in the nature of two odd feath-
ers, very narrow and curling at the
ends.
With the ultra dressy hat. ermine or

used, beautiful WispS of precious lace,

mushroom of the summer.
Here and there a young chIldS hat
will also be seen in fur, some close lit
tie bonnet or other of ermine or rabbit
skin, with the little matching muff, of
course.
AS to childrens muffs ana bonnets,
white rabbit skins are sold, ready to
make up. for a song, and, with a fiat
model to go by, there is nothing easier
than to turn out such a little bonnet
and muff oneself at home.
One dainty little rabbit set that some
good papa will surely take home to
wrap the Baby Bunting in showed
bunch of tiny pink rosebuds at the side
of the bonnet, with another at one side
of the fiat muff.
The rabbit skins may also be used
with delightful effect for bands on a
child's cloth coat.
