Burt-Veale, the well-known practical dairyman of Woodvdk writes with regard to the i^aw rence^KSnedy^iUies"^ Milking ; Machine as follows: --"The butter-fat test and quantity are fully maintained. For the past six weeks ; the variations have not exceeded 61b ot butter-fat per week on the whole herd of fifty cows. There are no illeffects on the cows whatever, and there is no difficulty in keeping the machines clean. The milk is far cleaner, and its beeping qualities excellent. The machine solves the labour problem for those having to employ ?or large herds." MacEwan and Co., Ltd., eole agents, U.8.8 Co.'s Buildings, WellinKton.
