DEMONSTRATION AT WEBSTER

BROS.' MART.

There is now on view in Messrs. Web-1 stcr illros.' window (local agents for the International Harvester Company, of New Zealand, Limited) a New Zeaiandia milking machine, which lias been permanently installed there for demonstration purposes by the firm. A Xews representative, who saw the machine working yesterday, says that a great feature of this machine is the pulsation in the. claw, which enables two teats to be milked at a time, while the other two are being released. This naturally obviates any risk of the teat cups falling oil". The plant may be fitted with bucket or releaser. The releaser is the more popular among dairymen now, and the New Zeaiandia releaser is claimed to be. the most compact, ell'eetive and simple releaser ever made. It can lie taken to pieces and cleaned in a few minutes. The vacuum tank is composed 0 f an ordinary machine bucket which enables the farmer to bring it down and oil it daily, avoiding any possible risk of contamination. 'The'finish of the machine leaves nothing to be desired. The motive power is derived from an International oil engine, which is not only a fuel economises, but is simplicity 'itself. The Lily separator, made by the International Harvester Company, in sizes to suit all fanners, and capable of being driven by power or hand, is also worthy of the attention ot farmers. It stands on its own foundation on the floor, and has a self-bal-ancing bowl. The machinery department is replete with every machine required on the farm, among which may be mentioned the Hoosier lime server, which can be used for any manure of a similar nature. Other implements include flexible and reversible disc liarrows, which can in ji few moments be adjusted to cut in or cut out; the McCormiek giant spring tooth cultivator, which is eminently suitable, for Taranaki country, and the McCormick grain and fertiliser-' drill, which has proved itself all over the world to be the finest machine ever invented for sowing fertilisers and grain of all classes/ as well as rape and turnips, etc, and is the only chaiu; driven drill cxlant. The famous McCormick and IVcring binders, mowers, rakes, sweens and stackers are also kept in stn;-lc.
