SPECIAL TRADE EXHIBITS

[j JOHN CHAMBERS AND SON, LTD. I.' AUTO MILKING MACIILVES. Ii This firm are exhibiting their well- !• known Auto milking machine buckst plant, together with their milk elevator il mid conveyor. The plant is bein:? driven e by their Auto engine, which works on benzine, kerosene, or distill.x'e. This - till Kit is attracting considerable attcnij tion, and already a number of plants I of various sizes hnvs been Ixiokecl up. - Conspicuous, in this plant is the Imcint t pulsator, which enables ihe farmer to ! J regulate the speed of the pusalion to 0 suit every class of cow. The practical 1 farmer knows that the hard or tough p cow requires a long, strong pull and - short release, whereas the easy cow can ' be milked with a mush quicker action. ■ With the Auto regulating pulsator all J these different classes of cows can be ■ milked by adjusting the pulsator to suit each one. There is a small adjusting tap on each pulsator which enables each r cow to lie milked exactly accDrding to I her peculiar requirements." The pulsator i is simplicity itself, and it is Impossible ) for the miik to gel: into it. The Auto f teat cup is a very special feature of this ■ plant. It is easily cleaned, does not i fall off, and lias never been known to • injure the cow. > Jfr. T. Bridges, of Taranaki, lias four . of these plants, and is milking 2"io cows. ' J1 o says (hat "last season not ■ne of ■ tho cows was injured in my way," and » he speaks in glowing terms of ihe ofli- ' ciency and simplicity •of the plant. He '■ says "it works from year's end to year's ■ end without any trouble at alt." I Mr. Banks, of Mataniola (probably tho ■ best known dairy fanner in A'ew Zealand) is aiso using the Aula bucket plant on his champion herd of pedigree I'rie--1 sian cows. He says that "wlierjas half his cows had sore leafs when ho started with tho Auto, in a. fi-w weeks all feats were well." Tho reason such good results are obtained with the Auto cups is that: nothing but rubber touches the teats, and they are therefore easier on Ihe cows than many , a man's rough hands. The Anto elevator is a laluur-saving device, and easily takes Ihe place of Hie releaser plant, with the addition (hat it. is cleaner and easier to keep clean, and enables (he farmer to (est and watch the results of each c;,w. This is a most important feature of the plant because it assists tho farmer in cutting out the wasters and enables him to get the l>est results from his herd, which means that financially tho Anto bucket plant is the faniier'6 best friend, as by its use he increases his banking account. I'or those who desiro the other type of machine, however, Jless.-s. John Chambers and Soil, Ltd.. have just patented a new releaser. This is also on exhibition at the stand at the show, and full information concerning it (and all the firm's other lines) can bo obloin"i! there, and from the head office, AVellington, or the branch establishments at Auckland, Cliristcbnrch, and Dunedin.—(Published by Arrangement.)
