AN IMPROVED BUCKET-HOLDER. 
We (Adelaide Observer) have from a Korumburra inventor the improved. 
milking bucket-holder shown in the accompanying illustrations. By means of 
the dented tongue (a) the strap surrounding the bucket can be let out or. 
taken in to suit any size of milking bucket. The holders or knee straps (6), 
which constitute the chief feature of the device, are placed at a distance apart 
deemed convenient for the average milker. ‘The small hook (c) is so contrived 
that it will automatically adjust itself, and clamp firmly on the rim of the: 
bucket, thereby preventing the circular hoop (d) slipping from the body of the 
pail. It is claimed for this invention that it does away with the necessity for 
eripping the bucket with the knees, thereby leaving the milker free to hold the- 
legs in any other convenient position desirable, also admits the milker assuming” 
an upright position, instead of haying to stoop; while, further, it prevents the 
bucket getting soiled by contact with the ground in cases where the milkers, as. 
in the spring time, unable to bear the strain required, rest the pail on the 
ground. The dented tongue, it is stated, should be so placed that it is on the: 
side of the cow and away from the milker.
