MILKING EXTRAORDINARY.

One of the great features of the National Dairy Show at Palmerston this year will be the demonstration of milking machines. It Is wonderful how the machine has been improved upon since it was first introduced for practical purposes, but greater improvements are forthcoming, and amongst the seven makes of milking machines to he shown at the Dairy Show there is a patent improvement which can be attached to any milking machine which will deliver milk from the cow’s teats to the factory can. Last week 59 cows were milked in 54 minutes by one man using four machines each fitted with the patent, an assistant being employed to do the stripping. Truly this is a great advance on the old method. The great value of the Exhibition of Dairy Machinery at, the Show is the concentrationi of everything of vital value to the farmer, a fact already realised by them, hence the large number of visitors every year. Bxcusrion fares will prevail on all the railways for the benefit of visitors to this Great National Dairy Exposition. •
