Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milking Machine as a Factor in Dairying: A Preliminary Report, Practical Studies of a Milking Machine, Bacteriological Studies of a Milking Machine For more than a quarter of a century machinery has been successfully used in separating the cream from the milk and churning it into butter, but a machine for milking the cows has been more difficult to supply. It has long been realized that a successful and practical cow milker would mean a profitable revolution of the dairy industry, as it would render the work of milking much easier and reduce the necessity for hired help, thus making the dairyman more independent. Efforts have been made by scores of inventors for more than half a century to construct a machine that would milk cows in a satisfactory manner and without injury. The German writer Martiny states that 29 different milking machines known to him had been patented in different countries or mentioned in the dairy literature between the years 1877 and 1898. The annual reports of the United States Commissioner of Patents show that during the period of 34 years from 1872 to 1905, inclusive, 127 patents were taken out in this country alone for milking machines or separate parts of them. A number of machines have been successful in extracting the milk from the cow by either pressure or suction, or by the two combined, but have fallen short of being practical in some vital point. Naturally, inventors have attempted to imitate the way in which the calf sucks its dam. The difficulty has been to reproduce the peculiar influence which the sucking calf has upon the cow and to devise a machine which will not irritate the animal and which will do its work without injury. Another difficulty in devising a cow milker has been to construct it so that it could be adjusted to all cows.
