Why Dave stayed on 
his father’s farm 
O LD Man Hicks, the dairy farmer, had a 
herd of mighty fine cows. He also had 
a son named Dave who thought milk¬ 
ing a pretty tough job, and who imagined he 
was getting weak-handed and on the way to 
milker’s paralysis. So he laid down on the job 
and the old man had to milk all the kickers 
and fussy bovines. 
Then one day Hicks, Sr., saw the light. He 
installed a 
n 
SHARPLES MILKER 
That was four years ago and ever since, twice 
a day, the herd has been machine-milked, the 
kickers and fussy producers give down without 
being chained, and Dave’s doing the work 
formerly done by Dad and two husky hired 
hands. 
Long ago the son forgot paralysis in standing 
by and watching the teat cup with the upward 
squeeze get Bossy’s milk. When she persists 
in yielding 30 pounds of fluid, the machine 
sticks to her and gets all of it. There are no 
finger nails gouging out a bit of teat or 
scratching her udder. She’s not sworn at now 
—she’s sworn by. She no longer holds up 
her milk, for the machine does what human 
hands can’t do—draws the milk intermittently 
with a soothing massage motion, driving the 
blood up and the milk down. And Bossy 
knows that’s how she ought to be milked. 
Dave’s now clamoring for a bigger dairy and 
another machine. The only way to use the 
hour or more saved at each end of the day is 
to put in more cows and increase the size of 
Dad’s bank roll. 
Ask Old Man Hicks what the SHARPLES 
MILKER is and does. He’ll say it’s a clean- 
milk getter and a hold-’em-on instead of drive- 
’em-off-the-farm proposition. He 
never has the least trouble in 
getting and keeping capable 
help. • While Dave holds down 
the job, Hicks now has time to attend 
county fairs, conventions, socials, and— 
what he seldom did in the old grind- 
early-till-late days—go to meetin’ with 
Mrs. Hicks and mix with the neighbors 
and discuss politics and ways and means. 
“The joke’s on Bossy these days,” 
declares Hicks.
