It does not follow because a machine lias won some contest it is the best of its kind. For instance, there was a milking contest at a certain station in Australia. The winning machine immediately claimed that it had defeated all other machines on the market. But here’s the point—the contest was unknown to the representatives of the Ridd Milking Machine until after it had taken place—hence the Ridd Machine was not beaten. And, after all, a note of commendation like this from Mr. George Harvey, of Otakeho, carries more weight with the practical farmer than all the contests ever held:—“l have used the Ridd Machines some time now, and must say they are the best machines on the market. They are simplicity itself, and will stand a lot of wear.' The pulsation is perfect, and there is no fear of hurting the cow’s teats. The Watt’s Oil Engine is as simple as could be made_, easily understood, and gibes every satisfaction.” Full particulars from Newton King.*
