Labour-saving devices for the farm might as well never have been invented if the cost for upkeep runs beyond the amount previously paid in wages. An all-round saving must bo assured before any machine can -be called a success. The problem of producing a Milking Machine that woujld prove a satisfactory substitute for manual labour has been solved in the form of the Ridd. Writing in regard to his Ridd M[iking machine, a Douglas dairy farmer, Mr. G. if. Chapman, says: “As regards the upkeep, I started milking in the first week of September, 1909, and used the machine twice a day up to the (3th of May, 1910, and during that period, and since, I have not spent anything on rubber ware. The Watt’s Oil Ell" ginc takes no time to understand, and is very economical.” For Catalogues auci further information please apply to NEWTON KING* For influenza take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure; never fails.
