MILK COWS BY ELECTRICITY
Demonstration Attracts Biggest
Crowd at Electrical Show.

The second day Of the electrical show
drew good sized crowds yesterday to Madl-
son Square Garden. All the booths were
well attended. the four electrically MIXED
cows in the basement being perhaps the
most popular attraction.
Aside from the saving in time this meth
od of milking is said To be beneficial 10
the COW because the suction Is UNIFORM
and the milking not subject To tie whlm
of the mixer At any rate. the animals
did not appear to mind the automatic milk
ing in the least. and the milk tasted as
good as any that ever crossed the Hudson.
There were other interesting novelties.
such as a machine by which the air was
washed IN water, heated and then sent
forth into the room; an electrically heated
shaving mug, an electric clothes washer
and dryer, and an electric water pump.
In fact. there was only one disappoint-
ment during the day. Professor Ovington
was to have given "a demonstration of cleo
tricaI wonders. but he was unable to ap-
pear. His demonstration will take place
this afternoon.
