PRESTON'S COW DETECTING MACHINE CO.

{Published by Arrangement.) Sir, —As some of your readers may still misunderstand the position, referred to in a letter published in yesterday's issue, with regard to the purchase of the Waimate West Demonstration Farm Committee, I wish to state right here that this four-cow detector plant was bought from me by the deputy-chairman of the Farm Committee, on behalf of that committee, on the 19th day of November, 1920. That being so, in the interest of our business I was quite justified in publishing that fact. This was after the plant had been in operation for nearly a month at the farm. The plant has been in operation ever «ince, and has given complete satis--faction during the whole of that time. The Farm Committee, in the interests of dairy farmers, are perfectly. right and justified in 'allowing other milk weighing machines to be installed 1 *md tried out at the farm, against tho Preston Cow Detecting System. That *s what a demonstration farm is , for. To test and try out any machine or ( j anything else that is calculated fo be . 'of value to the dairy farmer, .such as ' I increasing the yield'of butter-fat per ; acre frc^i his lai»9. For God knows ' ! he'll want it when the price of fat drops back to 1/6 per Ib. We welcome other milk weighing ma;- --•; chines being installed and tried out . i against the Preston Cow Detectoi, as we are quite confident that, up to the [ present time, there has been no ma- [ chine invented to be operated on a ; 3, 4, 5 or 6-cow releaser milking machine that will give equally satisfactory results as the Preston Patent t Cow Detecting System.—l am, etc., ' > | ROBT.
