Calf-Way Milker The calf-way milker, exhibited by Hayes & Jus ten at the McHenry coun­ ty fair last week, attracted unusual attention on account of the life sized plaster of Paris cow used ih the dis­ play.

REMEMBER THE DATES, SEPTEMBER 26 AND 27 What does the cow fMnlcl A cow probably doesn't enjoy being milked, except when her own calf does it; when the hired man does it she submits, for the relief it is to her. The ordinary milking machine takes the milk by creating a vacuum which forces the milk out. If a cow could talk she'd object to it. The Calf-Way Milker milks the calf-way; a soft rubber downward squeeze; doesn't hurt or worry the cow. It ought to make some difference in the quality of the milk, if the cow enjoys it. Every farmer with cows ought to have this milker. Hayes & Justeo Wliii'r M cHENRY, ILL.
