About ths middle of last century several machines were constructed to milk cows, but they do not appear to have met with much success, and were neglected and forgotten. Many hankered dairy- - farmers, however, after a mechanical device of this kind, and experimentation went on for many yeara. Most of those engaged in "it had as their root Idea a milk tube Inserted Into the teats Of the cow, and a milker of this kind was placed on the market in 1878. This milker consisted of a tube having openings along ita sides, through which the milk entered. Each teat was fitted with a tube, and tha tubes were kept together by a ftexlble band. There is no need for describing p ho-Jok- e, . Smalt' Into Place.
