Wo offer a word of warning to prospective purchasers of milking machines, who are inclined to hold off in anticipation of so-called improved machines being placed on the market. The experience of the past has always been that these anticipations are never realised. There are dozens of dairy farmers to-day who will tell you that last season they lost in labor alone the price of a “LAW-RENCE-KENNED Y-GILLIES’ ’ Milker Plant, through waiting for other improved (?) machines. Don’t be misled, by flashly worded advertisements, and, like the dog in the fable, lose the substance while trying to grasp the shadow that looks bigger. The “L.K.G.” is the only tried and proven machine, having been in practical use now for over five years, and don’t forgot it. For full particulars apply to J. B.
