Yes-because history repeats. With

WOULD IT PAY TO BUY A MILKING
MACHINE

The question has been asked by
several lately, If the milking machine
has been a success in general, and
if it would be profitable TO buy one.
The milking machine success de-
pends largely upon the care OF opera
tion and stripping the cows after the
machine has been removed. Records
show that when machines have been
used properly that the flow of milk
can be maintained as long or longer,
than hand milking. It is doubtful as
to the advisability of purchasing a
machine for less than fifteen cows,
but with that number or more, time
and labor is saved, and the milk kept
cleaner and the machine will last for
years of constant use.
