THE CANE MILKER.

[Published by Arrangement.] ' The Gane milking machine,'for-which the Australasian patent rights have just been purchased by Mr. H. R. Jenkins, the well-known Eltham farmer, is on view on the Showgrounds, and is also actively demonstrating with milking exhibitions on the section of land opposite the A. and P. buildings. Tho chief features. of the Gane milker aro that there are no pulsator or milk cans in the shed. The machine milks right from the cups into tho factory cans, which, by the. way, may be placed in the milk cart at tho time. This advantage practically saves half the labour' .60 requisite in.other makes of milking machines, and farmers cannot do better than note well this fact. In tho process of milking, the milk is carried along a highly polished bronze tube into - a releaser, which automatically empties the liquid into a chute. Farmers who havewitnessed tlie process highly praise the ingenious mechanism.'. The bronze tube also acts as a vacuum pipe Another point m favour of the Gane milker . is its inflations, which aro of a very lasting quality.. Where used they have lasted right, through tho season, and have come out of the ordeal practically as good as new. The'Gano pulsator is very strong.and simple in manufacture; so simple, indeed, that it has' no parts which may go out of order. Mr. H. R. Jenkins has made all arrangements regarding his patent rights. He has not infringed in any way on any other patents, and he desires it to be niado known that ho is prepared to indemnify any purchaser of his machine against any liability which, may bo brought in connection with tho. Gane milker. Mr. T. 0. Hodson, chairman of directors of tho Eltham Dairy Company, Mr. D. Bruce, of Ngaruawahia, Mr! James Parlane, of AVaikato (late of Taranaki), arc all practical farmers who are installing Gano milkers. Mr. Bruce writes that he is satisfied that the machine is all that it is represented to be. After'viewing it, ho adds, three of his neighbours each ordered a Gano plant. Tile foregoing only serves to shoy that although the Gane milker is now on the market, its make is so perfect that it has already ensured tho ' supremo confidence of practical dairy i. farmers in all parts of the island. Tho company is making arrangements to instal 200 plants this season in New Zealand.
