JUST COMMON SENSE.

THI GORDON VAOUUM BREAK MILKING MAGHINI. LEARN ALL ABOUT IT AT THE SHO‘V. There are many milking machines ,on the market, every one, no doubt. iheing ‘3 very fine machine; but the machine which milks cows in the isame manner as a calf sucksi its Imother is the Gordon Vacuum Break Milking Machine, on display at the iVVaikato \Vinter Show. To excel Nature is impossible-—to equal Nature is a supreme achievement, and the proprietors of the Gordon V'a‘cuum Break Milking Machine are to be congratulated in perfecting a machine which gives the same action on the cow as a calf does when sucking. The calf, it must be remembered, “sucks and swallows,” and there is a "break" after each suck. The vacuum break in the Gordon Milking Machine reproduces exactly the ”break" in the “suck of the calf." Is it not, then. only natural that this wonderful machine is creating tremendous interest at the Show? and visiting farmers should make a point of carefully inspecting it. If they place their thumb in the vacuum break teat ”cup it will be a revelation to them, for they will feel the “suck or the calf" exactly. They will feel the “suck,“ then the break—hence the name, the Gordon Vacuum Break Milking Machine. Farmers inspecting this machine will, when placing their thumb in the vacuum break teat cum also feel the milk surround} their thumb (just the same as the milk surrounds the cow‘s teat when the ruli‘ is sticking) and they will discoreri thnt all the while their thumb remains nurmui lllltl tool.
