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 be 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 lias been solved in the form of the Ridd. Writing in regard to his Ride! i'diSking Machine, a Douglas dairy farmer, Mr. CL F. 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 6th of May, 1910, and during that period, and since, I have not spent anything on rubber ware. The Watt's Od Engine takes no time to understand, and is very economical.” For Catalogues and further information please apply to NEWTON KINO*
