"AUSTRAL" 



MILKING MACHINES. 



FIVE YEARS OF UNBROKEN SUCCESS 



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



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

 etficieney terminates alter a few nioiiihs of use. It has stood the test of time, and 

 tliab under all sorts of conditions. 



\T IS SIMPLE. 



CV)ini)lexity .nnd intricacy are the l^ane of milking machinery. Both in princi])le 

 and construction the Austral is strikingly simple. Minute pulsating mechanism 

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

 a single pulsating pump, sim[)le and sti'ong in construction, which serves for the 

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

 ]iuin[) is placed in the engine room, remote from the cows. 



ST IS AN EASY MILKER. 



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

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

 softest hand, and much easier tlian the a\erage hired help. Alter three and four 

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

 as when they started. Enquirj' from any AustrSll user will coniiini the correct- 

 ness of this statement. 



IT IS THE LAST WORD IN ECONQMICAL DAIRYING. 



The working parts are so few and the construction so simple and solid, that A\"ear 

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

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

 conducted direct from cow to sejwrator without any handling whatever. With 

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

 ordinary circumstances its advantages are overwheln in?. A single bucket can he 

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

 ferable, complete bucket plants can be installed.
