The author, C. B. Bane, tells us that efforts have been made by scores of Inventors for more than half f. century to make a machine That would milk cows satisfactorily and without Injury. From 1872 to 1905, in W A FOOT POWER MILKER. elusive, 127 patents were taken out in this country alone for milking ma chines or separate parts of them. Most of these have failed in some re spect, and not until recently has any one of them gone into extended use. Tho prospect of their general intro duction led to the experiments de scribed In this report. Two different types of mnchlnes are shown In the illustrations, one worked by foot pow er, the other by an electric or other motor. The report shows that the machines have the advantage In more than one respect over hand milking. Kays Mr. Lane: “Naturally one of tho first questions naked when a dairyman is considering the installation of milking machines i3, How much time will be saved by their use? A glance at the general averages for thirty days shows that the average ‘ time required for to milk four one man V cows with the machine was 13.02 min utes in the morning and 13.57 minutes in the evening, or a total of 26.59 min utes for the day. In case of the four cows milked by baud it will b<f noted that It took an average of 21.88 min utes to milk them iu tho morning and 18.71 minutes in the evening, or a total of 40.59 minutes for the day. There SPECIAL SALE FOR COURT WEEK. f v A disappointing* weather with stocks piled up high causes the tremendous sacrifice of the most seasonable goods. Silver Bros, intend to convert their stock into the metalic, *and the only way they know Is to cut the stuffin’ out of the price.

It shoNikl be noted, however, that .the time saved by the employment of ma chinos was not the result of greater speed in milking, but in the operators '• _ ... _ ‘ 1 - i !§§ jf i' 1 toil w A , l>OWRB MILKER. abllily to milk two cows at once, Ill deed, one man can look after five ma chines milking ten cows at once, thus greatly , increasing , . this ing . ... m sm, o . “The pulsator can be adjusted so tb t the action will be fas. or slow, u 7 to sixty pulsations pei minute is o rate usually recommended. J he mo e rapid the pulsations the taster e ma chine will milk up to a certain limit, The writer saw one cow giving a good flow milked absolutely clean with a machine in 2)4 minutes, the number of pulsations being 150 per minute. It is believed, however, that such rapid milking for any length of time has a bad influence upon the cow. “The yield of milk is perhaps the most important matter to the dairy man. Any method of milking that has a tendency to decrease the flow to any appreciable extent can hardly be con sidered practicable. This point was studied for a period of thirty days in this experiment with the milking ma chine. The total yield of milk for four cows during thirty days was 1,898.75 pounds from hand milking and 1,960.25 pounds from machine milking, not in cluding strippings, a difference of 01.5 pounds, "Or 3.24 per cent, in favor of the machine. “It is of interest to note how the milking machine affects a herd of cows the first time it is used. The writer was present in a barn of about forty cows on one occasion the first time the machines were put in operation. Some of the animals were a little restless at first owing to the sight of the machines and the clicking of the pulsators, but soon they became quiet and reconciled to their action. One feature which is perhaps a little surprising is that heif ers took to the machines as readily as the older cows. The majority of the COWS appeared to like tiie machines and stood quietly.” Wo IfL, Handle Hnrriwm’s -RvDaim Town H^ and Uountyy Pain iamr. n.uvama na-u l ware-Uo.

Foord chance. of the experimentStation s Cornell have clearly ! illustrated this-poiat. Ten cows owned i by a dairyman liyitigi'near the station were included in an experiment which lasted for a period of four years. The flrgt yeal . tlle . j le rfl Vas v isited regular )y Qn itg home f aTO)j anc i careful roc 0 rds were made,of.food consumed and . mUk f nt produced. The cows were then Liken to the University farm and j ^ oaro ^hd abundant and i ° Qod Increase Shown. This treatment continued two years, when the Cows were returned to their old home and again received the care and coming feed to thatfthey the’l university had had farm. before The first year at the university showed an average increase of 40 per cent in milk yield, or 55 per sent in fat yield. The large production was continued throughout the second year at the uni versify, but it fell back to about the original amount when the cows were returned to their /former home, care and feed. After the cows .had become accustomed to fair treatment at the . university they gave milk and fat at lower feed cost thau they had done be fore, when the total cost of feed was less. In other words, the average food cost of i pound of fat fell from 12 cents at tne home farm to 10 cents at the university. In the case of one cow it fell from 14 cents to 9 cents. These ten cows were not selected, but were taken at random, and a siiidy of their individual lecoido flu..,. ,a surprising unifbrmity of gain due to good treatmefit. The experiment points the way by. which many dairymen could change losses to gains. Similar experiments have been performed by tained. It is not.intended to claim any and evefy cow would be profitable even if given the best chance. There ia a great difference, and this is shown ' only by keeping individual records.— B. A.

Rural Free Delivery Notes Because they objected to a mail negro boxes car rier and took down their residents along rural delivery route No. 2, out of Cerulean 'Ky., Mave been deprived of the service, says a Louis ville dispatcli to the New York Trib une. As a result farmers‘for j mail, miles and are W. calling at Cerulean 01 * L. George, the negro carrier, is out of a job. Protests were sent to Wash ington when George was first appoint ed last April. No heed was paid to them. White patrons along the route then took down their boxes. A§_ the rules forbid delivery' except, where boxes are up, the negro carrier soon had a sinecure. The mail fell off so that Washington has discontinued the route becaW*$f “lack of patronage.” Mrs. Ilsbjelbaker, mail carrier on route No. 3 lu 'Linn county, Kan., was kindly remembered New Year’s 1 day j, j> y the patrons of that line, says the j Pleasanton (Kan.) Herald. She serves fifteen farmers with mail, and each one presented her with a bushel of corn w ;th which to feed her horses. The gift was very acceptable and worthily bestowed. Mrs. Uazelbaker, who is one of the most energetic, liardwork ing and industrious women iu Linn county and the only lady mail carrier in ea|tern Kansas, appreciates the j kindness past," of her patrons, and as in the wet or dry, hot or cold, sunshine, i or storm, she will Continue to serve them. She never .misses a day and comes in promptly on time. All honor and credit to Mrs. Uazelbaker. Postoffice Inspectors Schaffer and Young, after making a tour of Niagara county, called on Postmaster Hatch of Lockport, N. Y., the other day and informed him that* the department would no longer endure the soap boxes, nail kegs, cigar boxes, old teakettles, etc., being used by farmers as rural delivery boxes, says the New York Tribune They declared that in two different soap boxes used as reeepta cles for mail hens had made tlieir nests and were laying eggs.

In Fayette county, Ky., more than 100 miles of roads are Said to have been treated with asphalt base oil, says the Municipal Journal and En gineer. Macadam roads built five and six years ago are smoother and harder today than when first completed, and not a penny lias been spent on the roadways for repair. The county judge states that the average cost per year per mile for repairs of the Tate Creek pike had been $15 and that all “of this money had been expended in keeping the drains open and clean. Not a pound of metal had been added in four years. An application of oil When the road was completed and one thereafter had produced this result. I Sciatica Cured After Tvrenty Years of Torture.
