GANE MILKING MACHINES.

OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENTS When a farmer visits the Winter Show he employs the time at his disposal to see what has been done to make his occupation easier and more profitable. Naturally most farmers will inspect the latest milking devices, for undoubtedly the dairying industry owes, in chief measure, its outstanding prominence to the part that milking by machine has taken. In that great mechanical development the Gane Milking Machine Company takes premier place. / . This old-established and world-famous firm are exhibiting two milking machines, the “Gane Smallholder,” designed for • c man with 25 to 30 cows, and the latest mechanical model with pulsators over each bail. Although designed for small herds the “Smallholder” is not a baby plant; pulsator and releaser ' are standard size, and the famous loose-metal joint is used throughout. This plant provides for addi tional bails being added from time to time should the user so desire. With the new mechanical plant it must be aanu ted that with the scientific and engineering knowledge amassed by the company for over 20 years, assisted considerably with advice from the Gane Milking Machine users, the company is in a position to place on the market somethmg-really outstanding. One striking feature is e adjustable pulsators, which can be instantly regulated by a thumb-screw. The popular Gane pulsator on the automatic plant is also much improved, being ball-bearing and self-starting. „„ Another interesting feature is the Gane Detector and Interceptor,’ which clearly shows any impurities in the milk, also when the flow of milk from the cow ceases. This device is particularly necessary where the' milk pipe is placed high in the shed. . .. . The fittings are also particularly worthy of inspection. No solder or rubber washers are used throughout the whole plant, a patent loose metal joint being used. It may be worthy of mention that Gane machines are used by Massey Agricultural College, Lincoln Agricultural College and Waimate- Experimental Farm (Manaia), as well as by hundreds of satisfied Taranaki farmers. The machine is entirely British; in fact, many of the parts arc manufactured by the Cambrian Engineering Works, New Plymouth; therefore by patronising the Gane farmers are keeping a. good share of their money in Taranaki. The firm’s local address is Box 48, New Plymouth, while the well-known firm of hardware merchants, Bennett and Sutton, Hawera, are South Taranaki agents. , Farmers should make a point of examining this extremely interesting, exhibit.
