"AUSTRAL" 



MILKING MACHINES. 



FIVE YEARS OF UNBROKEN SUCCESS 



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



have demonstrated that it does not belong to that class of appliances whose 

 eflBciency terminates after a few months of use. Ifc has stood the t«si of time, and 

 that under all sorts of conditions. 



IT IS SIMPLE. 



Complexit}' and intricacy are the bane of milking machinery. Both in principle 

 and construction the Austral is strikingly simple. Minute pulsating mechanism 

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

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

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

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



IT IS AN EASY iVIILKER. 



Fear of injury to cow s 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 wiien they started. Enquiry from any Austral user will confirm the correct- 

 ness of this statement. 



IT IS THE LAST WORD JN ECONOMICAL DAIRYING. 



The 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 

 this S3-stem, so great a .saving is effected in time, labour, and trouble, that in 

 ordinary circumstances its advantages are overwheln in r. A single bucket can be 

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

 ferable, complete bucket plants can be installed.
