Wonders Of Coal Tar.

In the American Magazine Albert

MILKING MACHINES IN FAVOR
Excerpt From Bulletin Gives coneiu-
stone Arrived at by Experts Of
Now York Station.

The New York experiment station.
after extended investigations covering
a period OF FIVE years, has reached the
conclusion that the milking machine
is not only practical but has solved
the problem OF labor on the dairy
farm The Investigations are shown
in Bulletin No. 1856 by C. A. Smith
and DR.. II. A Harding.
The following excerpt from the Bull
letin shows the conclusion OF the New
York station men:
The success OF the milking ma
chine. like any other machine, is close
ly associated with the personality OF
the operator. During the experiment
the machines have been operated by
six different men, all OF whom have
done at least fairly well In this study
the attempt has been made to contrast
the machine and hand methods Of
milking at their best. Unquestionably
1t takes a higher grade man TO operate
a milking machine successfully than
to hand milk COW equally we'll
There is every reason to think that
in the hands of careless operators the
machines will work injury to the cows,
but the same result is too often OBJ
tanned from inefficient hand milking.
The most important point OF this
study covered the influence of the
machine ON the flow OF milk. OF this
the authors say:
This study of the influence OF hand
and machine methods upon the flow of
milk covers a period OF over four
years and includes II lactation periods
AFTER eliminating the questionable
data. The influence OF the machine
method upon the flow OF milk was too
small TO be measured even when the
other factors were eliminated as fully
As possible. II was probably respon-
sible for less than one per cent IN the
variation OF the now under the condi-
lions of the experiment. All of the
cows MIXED well with the machine
when they were provided with proper
fitting milk cups. Two COWS which
were failures as hand mixers were
successfully milked with the ma
chine"
The milking machine Ia an econo-
mic necessity. There may have been
many failures. They were due to
many causes. As the machines be-
come more common and dairymen are
familiar with the essentials to be OBJ
served in the operation. these din

With no Insurance

Nelson Fitch's store building
located about three miles north
of Newark in Wycough town
ship, was totally destroyed by
fire about 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
The building and entire con-
tents were a complete loss, moth
ing of any value being saved,
as the fire was not discovered
until after it had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible
to check the flames or save any
thing of any consequence from
the burning building.
Mr.. Fitch had no insurance
and his loss on the building
and contents is about $4,000 OF
$4,000.
It is not known how the fire

been of incendiary origin. There
had been no fire in the building
for several days and everything
indicated that the building had
been set by some one. Tracks
Showed that a horse had beer

.eXtricated themselves from the
wreckage and were sending up
a school yell that made the
welkin ring.

Newport and sent up to carry
the passengers into Newport,
arriving there about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon.
