N. Gamlin, Kaupokonul, writes : "Having used your 'Hartnett' Milking Machines for the past eight months, I feel confident in saying it is the best machine yet placed on the market. I have about 160 oows, and our 8 machines have milked these in the flush of the. season in 2£ hoars. A small boy can operate j them with the greatest of ease. I think the automatic releaser is a splendid idea, and your machines should Drove a boon to dairy farmers." 'C. Dahl and Co., Xtd.. Agent*.
