Last week he had a Burrell machine put np and it is doing satisfactory work. Mr. LaBrec says he can milk his dairy of 18 cows in just an hour ; that the work thus far is more satisfactory than by hand, while it lessens the tib.e fully one half. If tbe machine Mr. LaBrec has installed proves a success, and there is every reason to believe it will, work on the dairy farm will soon be simplified to a great extent. Farmers with large dai­ ries find it almost impossible to obtain help because of the dislike for milking an^ if this disliked feature can be done away with it is predicted men to work on the farm can be secured much easier. The machine Mr. LaBrec has installed on his farm near Big Foot milks four cows at each position and one man can do the necessary work incident to caring for the milk and keeping the machine in place, Mr. LaBrec says his cows soon becaige accustomed to the new pro­ cess of milking and that he believes it has a tendency to make them more ^^ne Makes the Liver Lively.
