\bvir Daughter and an Empire 
can positively relieve you of the tiresome, irksome dis¬ 
agreeable task of milking. You and your sons can spend 
more time in the fields both morning and evening. 
Empire Milking Machines are so 
simple—so easy to operate—that a 
boy or girl can milk the entire herd 
with it in less time than it took you 
and your hired hands. 
Hard milkers or easy milkers—nerv¬ 
ous or calm cows —large or small 
teats—even oruneven udders—make 
no difference to the Empire. It 
milks them all. And the teat cups 
stay on without surcingles. 
The New Empire Super-Simple 
Pulsator has no piston. Nothing 
to wear and lose vacuum. Its action 
is regular and positive, gentle and 
soothing to the cow. Usually pro¬ 
duces greater milk flow and length¬ 
ens period of lactation. 
Learn the details. Have the Em¬ 
pire dealer in your locality give you 
a demonstration. Write for our

At Their Work and Play 
We have another group of children this 
week, as usual. The pictures are sent 
from all corners of the country, for the 
child crop is surely very well distributed. 
There is something a little unusual about 
those three Pennsylvania children shown 
at Fig. 308. Some weeks ago we printed 
an extract from a letter written by a 
man in Connecticut, who signed himself 
of such fellows who have come under our 
observation. 
Then there is another youngster at 
Fig. 301. who certainly will not grow 
up to be anything like “‘Willie Boy.” 
This is little Thelma, the daughter of 
Mrs. Edwin Parmiter of Cortland 
County, N. Y. In a large class of babies 
at the Cortland County Fair this one 
ranked as a 1.000% baby. She was a 
jierfeet specimen of small humanity, and

“Willie Boy.” This man undertook to 
make fun of farmers, saying that they 
were worn out, slow and generally twist¬ 
ed up, without snap or push. That 
caught the eye of Mr. C. B. Dayton, who 
makes the proposition that he is a farmer 
engaged in paying for a farm, and he is¬ 
sues a challenge to “Willie Boy.” He 
s lys he will wrestle with him. box with 
biin. run him :i race, or engage in any 
City Boy and the Calf. Fig. 303 
probably about as healthy and well¬ 
shaped a child as you can find anywhere 
in that section. That’s what you may 
call a milk-fed baby, and there are some 
ten millions of little ones in the country, 
every one of which ought to have a i.uart 
of good milk per day. What a bunch of 
humanity that would make, and what a 
market for the dairymen. 
The girl shown at Fig. .302 might per¬ 
haps not care to be put in the child class,
