The mechanical appliances are of the best kind, enabling a single operator to lift heavy stones from the earth, even of five tons' weight, without digging to relieve them. They can be drawn from the field without unloading, and placed into a wall five feet high. Recommendations in relation to this machine are of the strongest kind.

Colvin, and contains many theoreti- cal advantages over all other machines previously proposed for the same purpose. It will be seen by the engraving, that it is a pan or pail with a portion of its top covered, and armed with an ingenious vacuum pump, so simple in construction as not to be liable to derangement; on this are four flexible teat cups, so arranged as to be capable, both as to size and distance apart, to fit any cow. The handles of this machine work the pump so as to alternate the action on the teats, which in all respects closely resembles the manipulations caused by the mouth of the calf while Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mapes, Charles Victor, 1836-1916.
