One Nan with this One-Nan Outfit 
Can Milk 45 Cows in One Hour 
Mr. Dairyman:- 
Here 
is a 
real 
god-send for you. 
Here is freedom from worry; independence from unreliable, 
shiftless workmen and high-cost hand labor. 
Here is a clear extra profit of $300 to $1,000 per year from your herd, 
with all the disagreeable features of dairying eliminated—all the risk of 
being at the mercy of “hired help” overcome—the milking time cut in half, 
and the opportunity to double your present capacity at no extra labor expense. 
THE SHARPLES MILKER 
does, in a single hour with the care of one man, more milking than five men 
can do in the same time. Think of it! One man milking a herd of 50 cows in just a little 
more than an hour, or half that number in one-half the time. What a saving in time—in 
labor and, in addition, the assurance of perfectly clean milk , free from stable air and bacteria. 
Fill out and mail the coupon below and we will prove all this right 
on your own farm. This wonderful machine 
Takes All the Drudgery Out of the 
Dairying Business 
Makes short, pleasant work of the hardest, most disagreeable and most 
expensive part of your business. If you have not already considered installing this great money 
and labor-saving outfit, it is either because you have not fully realized how many dollars you are 
losing, or possibly you have not had the opportunity of seeing how practical, simple and success¬ 
ful the Sharpies Mechanical Milker is in actual use in a dairy like your own. 
Why the Largest, Most Successful Dairy¬ 
men Are Installing the Sharpies Milker 
We want you to know why such leading dairy¬ 
men as Henry Fielden, Manager Brandford Farms, 
Groton, Conn.; W. W. Blake Arkcoll, Manager 
White Horse Farm, Paoli, Pa., and many others 
enthusiastically endorse this wonderful milker. We 
wantyou to know just how perfectly it doesthe work; 
how gently it treats the cow; how “the teat cup with 
the upward squeeze” quiets the animal, makes her 
“give down” all her milk readily; how it actually 
inceases the flow of milk because it handles her so much 
more quietly and gently than any human being can. The 
animal fears no pinching of the teats, no abuse, no injury 
of any sort. She stands perfectly contented—relaxing her 
entire nervous system. 
We want you to know how soothingly the 
Sharpies Milker draws the milk from the udder; 
how quickly it does its work; how clean it milks— 
cleaner than human hands can possibly do it. 
The strippings from five cows after using the 
Sharpies Milker will not average over one pint. 
There is no waste. It is very simple. Has few 
parts; is not complicated to handle; practically 
nothing to get out of vsrder; has few parts to wash 
and they are all open and easily cleaned. It allows no bam 
air to enter the bucket during the operation—does not 
pump barn air through the milk bucket as other ma¬ 
chines do. Produces milk of lowest bacterial content, 
ar.d, most important of all, it cannot possibly injure the 
animal.

Dear Sirs:—It will no doubt interest you to know 
with what CTeat success we are doing the milking of our cows 
since installing The Sharpies Mechanical Milker. We have four 
men at work on this work—two men operating the machines and 
two carrying away the milk. Each man handles five units, and 
together milk eighty-six cows in from fifty-seven minutes to an 
hour and a quarter. We keep accurate record of each cow's milk 
production, and we find our cows doing as well being milked by 
machine as they did when milked by hand. The cows take tha 
machine readily, and seem to be very much more contented than 
when being milked by hand. It is one of the most profitable in¬ 
vestments that we have ever made on this farm.

Gentlemen:—We have not had any injurious effects on the 
cows from using your Mechanical Milker for 133-^ months. As 
far as we can determine, the cows have maintained their usual 
flow and for full period. We have had no udder trouble which 
we could trace to the machine, or that was aggravated by it. Wa 
have missed only one milking since installing it, Sept. 12, 
1910, and that was last week, through repairing it. We woula 
not want to bo without the machine.

“It seems to be entirely comfortable to the cows, in fact, our 
cows are in much better condition now than they wore when tha 
milker was started about two months ago, and the quantity of tho 
milk has increased about ten per cent. Our experience with the 
milker has been entirely satisfactory.- Its saving of labor is, of 
course, self apparent, and its cleanliness unquestioned. Altogeth¬ 
er, I regard it as about the most satisfactory investment about my 
dairy.” Yours very truly, (Signed) HON. WM. C. SPROUL. 
“The Teat Cup With the 
Upward Squeeze** 
If you have watched 
various milkers you 
have noticed that they 
are built on either the 
“continual suction” or 
“pulsating suction” plan. 
In either case, while the 
milk is being drawn from 
the teat the blood is 
drawn down, too, and the 
teats become swollen, 
congested, feverish. The 
Sharpies Mechanical 
Fig-1 Milker is the only milking Fig. 2 
machine in the world that has “the patented 
Teat Cup with the Upward Squeeze.” Notice 
the illustrations. See how the blood is gently 
pressed back up out of the teat by compressed 
air (Fig. 2) after milk has been drawn—the one 
feature that marks the difference be¬ 
tween the success and failure of 
all milking machines. That’s 
why the most progressive 
dairymen in the United 
States use and 
endorse The 
Sharpies Me¬ 
chanical Milker.
