NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW.

EIGHTH ANNUAL FIXTURE. Owing 'to the adverse weather conditions to-day, and the Coronation celebrations with various other counter attractions, the attendance during the forenoon showed a considerable falling off compared with that of yesterday, the damp weather exercising a most depressing influence generally. The attendance, however, improved during the afternoon, and, considering the state of the weather, was considered to be satisfactory. Water is lying in small lagoons here and there on the ground, and underfoot is in a terribly sloppy state, being almost a quagmire in places. Tho hall occupied by the Department of Agriculture continues the centre of attraction. Several prominent district settlors yesterday complimented Mr-Maeplierson on the complete nature of the exhibit and its instructive and educational value to farmers and others. The Department had over four thousand feet at the Auckland Show and will have about the same space at the Dunedin Winter Show. In the dairying industry hall are samples of butter boxes and cheese eases made of popular timber. An expert pronounces that timber as specially suitable for the purpose, being fairly light and free from grain. Hitherto'the poplar timber has not been of much utility, except in inlaying m furniture, for which it has proved its suitability.

[Published by Amungement.] OVERLAND AND lIUPP-MOBILE CARS.

Messrs Dunk and Pringle, Ltd., local agents for these popular cars, have arranged a display in the milking machine shed at the Show, several models of each being shown, each one having some special feature to commend it to the buyer. Tho frames of all "Overland" cars arc of cold rolled steel pressed into U sections in the linn's own works, tlio same grade, character and gaugo of 'steel being .used for all. This company is one of tho few who use drop frames, _ the advantage of the drop frames being that the ears get nearer to tho ground, making it safer and holding steadier on the road, All joints are hot riveted and all corners heavily reinforced and brazed by strong gusset plates, and there is not a single weak point in their construction. The springs are of tho highest grade:_ carbon sneeial spring steel of tho semi-elliptic and throe-quarter elliptic types, depending en model, a broken spring being an almost unheard of accident in an "Overland." The engines are a marvel of simplicity and are of the very best of materials and are practically everlasting. The bodies arc of sheer etcel, built over a strong wooden frame, and made in the firm's own factories, tho materials and workmanship being guaranteed. The trimmings are of tlio highest grade loathpi' and comes from tho best leathorniakers in the world. The designs of all cars are modern, graceful and attractive, and the lines in accordance with good taste and modern automobile- practice They are designed particularly for tho service which they are expected to perform, and no part, however small, is employed which has not been thoroughly tested'and found strong and practical for its purpose. Tho Hupp-Mobilc car, though much smaller, is built on the same lines as tho Overland, and is highly suitable for doctors, agent*, and run about purposes. Messrs Dunk and Pringle report having sold a large number of cars, all of which are giving complete satisfaction. The agents for the Overland cars claim that these cars have filled a gap in the motor world, that is a high-class car at a reasonable rate, and are in fact the last word in motor cars. The models on exhibition are 40 h.p., 30 h.p., 25 h.p. Overhauls and two 20 h.p. Hupp-Mobilcs. Messrs Hatrick and Co., Ltd., Wanganui, are Dominion •agents for both makes of

cm'-* The expert in charge of tho display will be pleased to give all information required. Catalogues will be supplied gratis at the stand.

DUSTINS, LTD. Dustins. Ltd.. the Square, announce that they have, made special preparations for catering for (he wants of visitors to tho Winter Show. Their largo dining-rooms are among tho largest in town, and are so fitted up that they will accommodate almost anv crowd. Luncheons will bo served daily from 11.30 a.m. each clay of the Show. 'Morning tea may be obtained from 9 o'clock till noon, and tea aiv,l cakes at all hours. In order that no undue delay may take place. Mr D. Dustin has arranged for an extra large number of waitresses, who will look after the wants of visitors with the almost despatch. B.S.A. BICYCLES. Visitors to"the Show would do wolj to inspect these at tho various stocking agents, whose names are given_ in our advertising columns, before leaving Palmerston North. Examino those bicycles and carefully note the "Piled Arms" transfer, which denotes the "Standard of tho World" in cycle and riflo manufacture,

THE "JERSEY" MILKER, SIMPLICITY AND EFFICIENCY. The last word in milking machines at the present Show will be found in the "'Jersey" machine. The inventor is Mr C, R. Mitchell, manager of the dairy department for Messrs Bn/.acott and Co., Ltd., Sydney, New South Wales. Tho leading features of this machine r,re low vacuum, maintenance low, power low, attention nil, profits increased, cows benefited. Another feature is the control of each teat cup. which are operated by cocks on tho duster, no doubling up of the tubes being required. Still another improvement is tho special patented hose cock connection, which prevents tubes from si retching or splitting and necessitating the cutting of tubes_to make them lit tiirht. There is a .minimum of cleaning, "every part of the machine being accessible,' while the pulsator is all that can be desired, and being very simply constructed is easily cleaned and get-at-able. Machines are worked either with ejector or vacuum pumps, and the pressure worked on, i.e.. 14 inches, ensures perfect milking and no injury whatever to the cows. The "Jersey" has proved itself a very efficient and reliable milker. Over 400 machines arc installed in Australia alone, all working well and making the users happy. The makers of this machine point out that hired men are paid from £3 to £5 per month and keep for 8 to 12 hours out of 24; tho dairy cow- gives all her time, works for her owner alone, and gets her keep only. Tho advice therefore is: Feed her svell; treat her well; milk her properly and she will work well and increase the profits. That's logical, and fair to both owner and tho cow.. Tho New Zealand agents for the "Jersey" Milker are: In Wellington, Hill and Barton,: Hawke's Bay, Campbell, Thomson and Co,; Wangamii and Taranaki, A. Hatrick and Co.; Aucklaifil. Tho Machinery Exchange. The Sydiwy expert for the "Jersey" Milker. Mr A. W, Turner, who is at present at the Show, will be pleased to give intending purchasers and all interested any I information required.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY EPITOMISED. NATHAN'S AND HOME SEPARATION. The groat interest taken in the exhibit of Messrs Joseph Nathan and Co. on the first day was continued yesterday. The spacious stand was crowded throughout tiie clay with farmers desirous of having the very ingenious new separators explained to them, and people wishing to probe the mysteries of dried milk. The nurse and staff who sell the dried milk or give glasses of it fresh brewed with hot water, wero kept very busy. His Excellency tho Governor and Major-General Godicy have both been specially interested in this product, and havo formed very high opinions of tho future of the industry.

The separators aro a constant source of interest to tho youngsters, and one pretty little girl gave an unconscious and quite voluntary object-lesson of the case of working'by industriously turning on 0 after tho othor for quite a long time, to tho amusement and interest of the farmers. As a result of this exhibition and the discussion at the conference a-great demand for separators is setting in, and home separation seems likely to becomo general. Many farmers yesterday related their own experiences with the separators to friends, and they invariably ended in the friends proceeding to negotiate for purchase.

MELOTTE SEPARATORS. Amongst the separators discussed was Ihe Molotte, the agency for which tho firm has held for the past fifteen years. The simplicity, durability, and the smallness of the power required to work them aro amongst their best known 'features. They aro shown in three sizes, 18. 23, and-50 gallons..

DIABOLO AND PUMP SEPARATORS. Last season Messrs Nathan wore fortunate enough to secure tho agency for tho Diabolo and Pump Separator Company, of Sweden, and during tho year nearly 100 of theso machines hayo been placed in the immediate district. A pamphlet has been issued giving tho opinions of users of tho new separators. Taking some at random, from the number. Mr John Simpson, of Lees Line, Fcilding, declares that he has used a 70-gallon pump separator for tho whole season without any cost for repairs whatever, and it is working splendidly. Tho skim milk tests havo been invariably good, and lie strongly recommends the machine. Miss 11. E. Maclean, of Aorangi, his "found nothing to equal it." Mr P. M'Curdy, of Maharahara, found it so simple and satisfactory that his fourteen-year-old girl can uso it. Mr Fred Jepscn, ex-creamery manager, Aorangi, has found the Pump separator "oirt on_ its own." Thoro was no lifting of milk into cans or vats and his skim milk tested 01, which he remarks "is hard to beat," Mr J. YYoodley, of Awahuri; F. Hodgson, Aorangi; G. Haybittle, Fcilding; Henderson Bros.. Awahuri; F. W. Elliott, Woodlands, and a number of others, all testify to their great satisfaction with tho Pump machine. Mi Woodley gives these actual experiences, which are interesting in view of a notice- of motion before the Conference:—

I also find tho pigs do better on the milk, so they get it \yarm-night and niorning--and the returns for homo separation are better than tho factory returns. Tho first month at homo separation my returns were £5 (fivepounds) better on the same- amount of milk daily (5001bs), than the previous month, when I went to the factory and was paid the same prico per lb, for butter fat. • Also, each month since mv returns have been better.

The Diabolo machines havo also their sheaf of testimonials from well-known users. These includo Messrs C. Mcnzics, of C'olyton; C. Williams, of Halcombe; Jas. Eraser, of Halcombe; G. 11. Bristow, of Feilding; C. R. Thomas, of Colyton; and Draper Bros., of Feilding. Mr Williams mentions as illustrating the caso with which his machine is worked that his little boys of seven and ten respectively always 'turn for him. The Diabolo machines arc- made only in two sizes, 27 and 50 gallons an hour. Tho price for tho former is £7 10s and of the latter £l3 10s, which, tho firm considers, makes it tho best value of any separator in tho market'to-day for its power, A feature of the stand is a, small Diabolo machine, which has been, cut down through _ tho centre, showing tho whole of tho interior working parts. Tho substantiality and simplicity of tlio machine aro its outstanding features. A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

The Pump machines arc a remarkably clever and new development in separators, which saves tho labour of one person entirely. Not one drop of milk has to be lifted, tho machine, as its name designates, pumps the whole of tho milk from tho ground into the separator bowl. These bowls arc self-balancing, and tho larger machines are so constructed as to bo available for either turning by hand or by power. They are shown in a full riinge of the following sizes: 33, 70, 130 and 195 gallons. The ease with which the machines can be manipulated is such that a 130 gallon machine can be easily operated by one boy. There is an automatic release for the bowl and many other interesting and new features, such as it is claimed no other separator on the market to-day has.

J. YOUNG & CO. J. Young and Co., of Wanganui, have been kept extremely busy at their stand at the Show, showing the merits of the Storrie "Standard" milking machines, plants and accessories, agricultural machinery, etc., manufactured bv Alex. Storrie, Ltd., of Invercargill, Duncdin and Wellington. The Storrie milker is a favourite machine in too South Island, and is rapidly pushing its way to.the front in the North. It is an ideal machine for the dairy farmer, and the firm have received 'hundreds' of testimonials from all over the Dominion, and the following two from Southland will interest dairymen in search of a reliable milker : "Riverside Farm," Thornbury, ■ March 29th, 1910. Messrs Alex. Storrie, Ltd., Invercargill.

Dear Sir,— ' I imve much pleasure in certifying that the "STORRIE" Patent Steam Four-cow Milking Plant I purchased from you in September last has been in constant use ever since that date, and lias given mo every satisfaction. It is (simplicity itself, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to any farmer who is milking from 25 to 100 cows. . • , To prove that this Machine has been Bucrossful in producing clean milk, I have the authority of the Manager of the Dairy Factory at Thornbury m statin?, that ho has taken my milk since the commencement of the season for the STARTER, for the making of cheese at hie Factory. I am, yours faithfully, JOHN TtOHLERS. Edendale, April 2nd, 1910. Messrs Alex. Storrie, Ltd., Invercargill. Dear Sir I have much pleasure in informing you that the'"STORRIE" Milking Machine and Boiler you installed for me is giving every satisfaction., I can truthfully testify that I have found both Machines and Boiler very simple to manage, and far beyond my exnofitations. The cows took to them from the start. "Wishing you every success. Yours faithfully. DANIEL TITHER, Edendale. Mr Storrie, the inventor, is on the stand, and will explain every detail required. Mr Young, who has had considerable experience in agricultural machinery, will give all information required in connection with the implements on view.

HIGHLAND DIPS. Mr Hurry, expert for Messrs Alex. Robertson and Son, is in chargo of the Highland dip stall at tho Show, and will be pleased to givo farmers and others interested any information required. J. BETT AND CO., LTD.

Messrs J. Rett and Co., Ltd., .are tho most consistent firm of exhibitors at the Manawatu Shows, spring and winter, and they ai'o again to be found at the Show grounds with a full and comprehensive exhibit of locally manufactured vehicles, including dog carts, gigs, polo carts, bradleys, landaus, spring drays, etc. The exhibit this year is not so large as usual, owing to tho groat amount of work that the firm' have been doing lately. All the vehicles on exhibition have been built to the order of clients in the' district, and havo been carefully inspected by a large number of people during the course of tho Show, and Mr Bett, the managing director of tho firm, who, as'usual, is in charge of the exhibit, reports having hooked quite a quantity of orders from, them. The motor car body-building, an industry which tho firm have added to tlioir already large business, has developed into a very'big thing, and...keeps a largo number of hands fully employed all the year round. Samples of this class of work may bo seen daily in a. large number of cars in this district, one in'■'particular, owned by Mr H. J. Woodfield; calling for special mention. This car-has been.running over two years and is" giving every satisfaction, the paint work'v'and; upholstery being as good as the day it was turned out. The factory, in Rangitikei street, from which tho various work; is executed is replete with all modern- coach building machinery, and employs probably more hands all the year ...through than .any other inaustrv in Palmerston North. All visitors to tho Show fn. : vehicles are cordially invited to pay a visit to tho stall during. their '.stay in Palmerston.
