A TRIED AND TESTED MILKING MACHINE.

There is only one practical milking machine—the " L.K.G." It is th*> only machine .that ha* effectively stood the test- of practical work day after day for over five years. Think, what a risk is taken in installing a new machine. At least two years* trial by practical farmers is required before it I* safe for yon to even, consider its claims. The '"L.K.G." fe tbe only machine that has proved to be non-injntions' to the cows because its Gillies patent breaks down the dangerous euction "by inktting air in the same manner as does the ealf.
