THE WALLACE MILKER.

A Remarkable Machine. The most remarkable mi Iking 1 machine exhibit, at the Hamilton vv'intei Show was undoubtedly that of Messrs. I). McL. Wallace, Ltcl., “The Wallace/ 1 which was situated in the motor hall. The stand itseif was nicely got played, but the remarkable thin;? from the i'avmci \ 'nt of view w;.; th . .due which was being* off*, red in this, machine.

The milk pipe, claws, down drops, taps and all other metal fittings that come in contact with the milk arc of the best brass, non-corrosive and highly nickel led. The rubber ware and all other fittings and parts are the very best procurable and anyone buying the “ Wallace ” is secure in the knowledge that they get the best material Unit is put into milking* machines and that the materials put into their sheds are exactly Dm same as that exhibited at the* show. A

glance at the machine itself showed that everything is well finished, and Messrs. D. McL. Wallace, Ltd., assure us that they erect and' finish their machines in the filled -just as "•T a- they do in the shew. The plant works smoothly and tiie experienced farmer sees immediately that it follows along the lines long since proved satisfactory in milking machine practice. It is priced at a very low figure and farmers could be heard all over the show building discussing* the low price and remarkable value being offered in the “ Wallace machine.” Several machines are already installed and giving* every satisfaction. They milk quickly and cleanly and without injury q, the cows. Tim prices, which are :*.:; follow, 2-cow plant £B4, .'l-cow ; 1 nt £.94, 4-cow plant £lOl, 5-cow ; l £ll-1, (5-cow plant £l2l, are plainly exhibited on the stand and this is an innovation much appreciated by the farmers. 'I Imre is no getting away from the good material, the satisfactory working* and Die low price of the “ Wallace milking* machine.”

A good range of engines—Lister, Anderson and Capel—were exhibited, and farmers could make a good choice among these three, but other engines may be procured if desired.

The well-knowA Alfa Laval separator; were also on exhibit and in conjunction with them the Pye friction clutch pulley. This is a new invention and created a lot of interest. It is strong and substantially made and will do anything that any friction clutch pulley will do on a separator and will do some things that other clutch pulleys will not do. It may be screwed up hard and tight and the electric motor or engine started up and never a jar on the separator or bowl. It should be seen to be appreciated, and every farmer, whether separating or not, should see this pulley at the firm’s various branches. The price is £4 15s.

For the farmer who wishes to test his cows the W. and S. weighing and sampling* machine was on view*. This machine provides a very simple and accurate means of getting the weight and a sample of the ’milk from the individual cow when using milking machines. The weight of milk and sample is obtained and the milk then released through the releaser without loss of time. The machine is now priced at £5.
