THE REASONABLENESS OF MACHINE MILKING. Milking by hand is a branch of farm khour "unique in. its primitiveness, and has oftten> to be done at unlpopular hours. We must admit that there is a wide gap between a good hand milker and a.,bad one. Stall the work is purely manual, and calls for little in- the way of mental exercise. How different it is in, every other department of work on a well ordered farm. "Phe drudgery is lightened, and a certain, pleasing interest evoked in toe mind of the operator by manipulating, say aib ingenious machine like the "BIDD." The average mani would sooner operate a "machine than, engage in work which is wholly manual. Wherever the mechanical milkier a® installed, a revival of interest can. at once be noticed. We shall be pleased to send you catalogues and full particulars' of the "RIDD" MILKING MACHINE, and "BLACKSTONE" KEROSENE ENGINE on receipt of your postcard. It will save you a lot of worry, and will increase your milk cheque to put in these time . and labour saving machines. MANSON AND BAfIR, District Agents. PALMERSTON NORTH.
