MILKING EXTRAORDINARY.

One of the groat features of the National Dairy Show.- this year, will be the demonstration of. milking machines. It is wonderful how tin? machine has been .improved- upon since it was first introduced for practical purposes, . but greater improvements are ■ forthcoming, and amongst the seven makes of milking machines to be shown at the Dairy. Show there is a patent ■ . improvement, .which can bo attached to any milking machine' which will deliver milk from the cows teats to the factory can; l.mt more than this, last week 59 cows were milked in 54 minutes by one man using four machines each fitted with the patent, an assistant being employed to do' the stripping. Truly, this is a great advance on the oldtime method/'. The great value of the exhibition of dairy machinery at the show is the concentration of everything of real vital value to the far- : mer, a fact already realised by them, hence the largo number of visitors every year. Excursion fares will \ prevail on all the railways for the \ benefit of visitors to this great na- ! tional dairy exposition.
