I had, however, how-ever, to leave Sweden without being able to aee the machine. Inirtng the paat few weuka, my wife, being, again In Sweden, wna, through the cuurtray uf Mr. Frykberg, dlrertur of the manufactory manu-factory where the milking machine waa built, alluwed to aee It at work The machine la very atmply built; there la nut the nereaalty to lay down plant to aupply the motive puwer. aa thla la dune entirely by bund, a grout aavlng In primary Inatnllmint; In fuft thla hue been re. lured to a mini mum of expenae.

Detachment auction, or rather In thla caao, the reault, la obtained by compreaalon, the teat being Inaerted In a cup-like receptacle, one aide of whlrh actuated by a platon allowa the teat to HU, and then preaaea It much after the method of the human Bngera. All four leuta are milked almullaneoualy, or the valvearnnbe abut nff to allow of milking milk-ing cowa that have luat one or more quartern.

Tho milking machine la eaaentlally a modern contrivance. Something nf Ihu kind eeema 10 have been Invented In America In nbuut 1K1U, but no ilu-crip! ilu-crip! Inn of It la extant that we know uf. About the middle of laat century everal machlnea were couatructed to milk cowa, but they do nut appear to have met with much aucceaa, and were neglected and forgotten Many dairy lariuera, however, hankered after a mechanical device of thla kind, and expi-i'lt'ieiitafton went on for many yeara. Moat of ttwae engaged In II had aa their n.'.l Idea a milk tube Inaerted lulu the train nf the cow, and a milker of thla kind waa plarrd un the market In Hit. Ihla milker conalaled of a tubo having ntienlnaa along lla aldce, thruugh which the milk entered. Knih teal waa lilted with a tube, and the tubea were kept together by a fv xlbla Imnd. There la no need fur d.-acrlhlng It In detail, becniiae, although milk could be extracted by lla 111. ana, It waa not a really practical Invention. The next atop waa the Invention of pre, aure inncblnea. of which the Drat came from America about laT. nnd waa followed fol-lowed between lsu and lbu by ev eral other dev:cea constructed upon s eltutlar principle. The next Idea waa that of auction. The Brat auction machine ma-chine came from America; but It waa In Brotland that thla device waa moat carefully developed. |
