'■VZ Tf>\\ * AILTiC-VXTTLK AC.LXCY CO., LTD. The Xew Zealand Loan and Mercantile A-iency Co.. Ltd., have on exhibition and wnrldn.tr. an Auto miltrin;: machine. This machine, wlii •]■. has horn patented by experienced dairymen after oxliausti've and successful tests, is beinjr shown for tiir first time. As its iiiinie implies, it. is entirely antoinatic. It may he snp])lii'(l either with the hnrkrt or overhead plant. As the action of the bucket pnlsator would l>r interfered With by the use of tlie ordinary releaser, an elevator is used. T.y this means cvorv ■cow's milk ran lie woi-rlied and tested. j\ releaser is used with the overhead .irear. but this is perhaps more adapted ■for smaller herds. Tieiujr an automatic maehine tends to add to its sinvplieity. causes less frietioii and oonse-|r.cntly Irs-; year and tear. The machine is easily cleaned. The teat cup of this machine is a specialty, more especially as regards milkin-r heifers. The machine is driven ■ by a Lister oil engine.

Seeing that 'there was no water in the laeooii. he set out, to cross it at the widest ~1,0! beyond the abattoirs, going after a bird' he had shot. He was woarimr gum-boots, anil when ."boat hell'-wav over he found himself beginning to sink. lie was help-le-s, and •va; seen ill serious diflicullies. His ellorts to extricate himself were unavailing, and he I'eit himself sinking slowly all the time. It was three hour- before his plight was noticed, and thou onlv by a, fortunate coincidence. There is iint '.•-■inlly much Iraliic past the spot, but Mr. F.. Stevens, a telegraph linesman, was out that wav attending to a 'private line, lie heard cries, which he followed u;i, and when he reached the edge of the lagoon, about ■Ji :ivds from where My. Parsons was situated, he heard him call out, ''fin sinking!'' Mr. Steven* was fortunate enough to discover two boxes near bv, - and. placing his feet in these, like ski's J he went out to attempt to rescue Mr. j 'lV.rsons from his nrrilor--. no-ition. On J reachim; the man in difficulties, Mr. J -■( ovens gave him one of the boxes to out his arm across whi'c he himself stood oil and tried to pull him out. The liilter. however, was verv firmly embedded in the mud. ami by this time he had sunk up to his arms. i.Mr. Stevens found that he himself was beginning to sink. but he stuck gamely to hi--, arduous tied;, and after struggling for thm-uuarters of an hour he vm-coeded in getting -Mr. ■Parsons out. the la!ley being very 11111 h exhausted. The tide was rising, and J two hours later there was a <lmth off several feet of water over (lie spot. J
