. The Waihou farmers are anxiously, awaiting the Railway Department’s decision as to whether anything is to be done to provide better accommodation for goods at Waihou Railway Station. The present goods shed is most inconvenient, and frequently so full of consignments that the utmost difficulty is often experienced in finding packages addressed to any particular consignee. To relieve this trouble, the floor space should at

least be doubled. Then there is great need for a verandah to run the

trucks under in order that chaff, flour, and similar merchandise may be unloaded in wet weather. At

present the farmer cannot unload these in wet weather, and has to pay demurrage for not taking them away within the specified time. OK ! Yes, there are lots of things that are OK, but our washing machine beats the lot. Try one.

DAIRY MACHINERY. The “ L.K.Q-.” Milking Machine differs from any other machinery. Thus Cream Separators, right from he old out-of-date machine still hanging on to a reputation of twenty years ago, up to the “ Baltic ” of today, all employ the indispensable principle of centrifugal force which is free to all. The old unsuccessful principle of “dead” suction in milking machines is likewise free to all, but the principle of breaking down the dangerous suction on the teats at each pulsation by inletting air belongs entirely to the first and only successful milker, the “ Lawrence-Kennedy-Gill-ies.” J.
