THE GANE MILKER.

[PUBUSHF.D DY AItRANGEIIENT.]

The Gano milking machine, for which tho Australasian patent rights have just been purchased by Mr. H. R. Jenkins, the well-known Eltham farmer, is on view on tho Showgrounds, and is also actively demonstrating with milking exhibitions on the section of land opposite the A. and P. buildings. Tho chief features of tho Gane milker aro that there aro no pulsator or milk cans in tho shed. Tho machine milks right from tho cups into tho factory cans, wliich, by the way, may bo placed in tho milk cart at tho time. This advantage practically saves half tho labour so requisite in other makes of milking machines, and farmers cannot do better than note well • this fact. In the process of milking, the milk is carried along a highly polished bronze tube into a releaser, which automatically empties tho liquid into a chute. Farmers who hayo witnessed tho process highly praise the ingenious mechanism. The bronzo tube also acts as a vacuum pipe. Another point' in favour of the Gane milker is its inflations," which aro of a very lasting quality. Where used they havo lasted right through the season, and havo come out of the ordeal practically as good as new. Tho Gano pulsator is very strong and simple in manufacture; 'so siniple, indeed, that it has no parts which' may go/out of order. Mr. H. R. Jenkins has hiado all arrangements regarding his patent rights. He has not infringed in any way on any other patents, and he desires it to be mado known that ho-is prepared to indemnify any . purchaser of his machine against any liability which may bo brought in connection with 'the Gane milker. Mr. T. 0. Hodson, chairman of directors of the Eltham Dairy Company, Mr. D. Bruce, of Ngaruawahia, Mr' James Parlane, of Waikato (late of Tarannki), aro all practical farmers who aro installing Gano milkers. Mr. Bruce writes that, he is satisfied that the machine is all that it is represented to bo. After viewing it, ho adds, three of his neighbours each ordered a Gano plant. ' The foregoing' only serves to shoy that although the Gaffie milker is new on the market, its mako is so perfect that .iif(lias->'already;..onsured tho supremo cohfidenco of practical dairy farmers, in all parts, of the island. The company .is making arrangements to instal 200 plants this 1 season hi Now Zealand.
