"AUSTRAL" 



MILKING MACHINES. 



FIVE YEARS OF UNBROKEN SUCCESS 



Have established the AUSTRAL as the Premier Milking^ Machine, and 



have demonstrated 1 liat it does not belong to that class of appliancL-^ whose 

 efficiency terminates after a few months of use. It has stood the test of fcime, and 

 that under all sorts of conditions. 



IT IS SIMPLE. 



Complexity and intricacy are the bane of milking machinery. Both in principle 

 and construction the Austral is striking]}' simple. Minute pulsating mechani."<m 

 on teat cups or buckets lias been entirely dispensed with, its place being taken by 

 a single pulsating pump, simple and strong in construction, which serves for the 

 wliole outfit, whether two cows or ten are to be milked at a time. The pulsating 

 pump is placed in the engine room, remote from the cows. 



IT IS AN EASY IVilLKER. 



Fear of injury to cows was at one time the bogie of machine milking. The Austral 

 has done away with all that. Its action on the cow is as gentle as that of the 

 softest hand, and much easier than the average hired help. After three and four 

 years' milking with the machines, cows are found to be as sound in the quarters 

 as when they started. Enquiry from any Austral user will confirm the correct- 

 ness of this statement. 



IT IS THE LAST WORD IN ECONOIVIICAL DAIRYINC. 



Tlie working parts are so few and the construction so simple and solid, that wear 

 and tear, and consequently the cost of upkeep, are reduced to a minimum. An 

 outstanding feature of the Austral is the Tank System, whereby the milk is 

 conducted direct from cow to separator witliout any handling whatever. With 

 tliis system, so great a saving is effected in time, labour, and trouble, that in 

 ordinarj' circumstances its advantages are overwhelming. A single bucket can be 

 sujjplied for testing individual cows ; or where spec'al requirements render it pre- 

 ferable, complete bucket plants can be installed.
