herd, A mechanical outfit capable of
milking six cows at once is employed.
This is run by a small gasoline en-
gine and consists of vacuum pump
and air tank. A pipe line runs from
this behind the cows,• with stall
cocks attaubed. Rubber connections
from these go to the double units, or
milking pails, each of which milky
two cows at once. A mechanical pul-

firm, gentle, natural manipulation
which cannot he obtained any other
way;
It was surprising to see how quiet
the cows were through it all, but as
the process is much easler than hand
milking this can be readily. under-
stood. It is as near nature intended
milk to be drawn from' the cowv, as it
is possible 'to get it, and much re-
