The Milky Way. By H. Malloy. The Gordon Dairy have one of the most up-to-date milking mach ines in the world. They milk every cow three times a day, and it takes eight hours to milk every one of their cows. The stables are very clean, and they have electric fans on the roof. In each room there are two rows of stalls with large windows. At the back of each room there is a door, and a corridor goes from room to room and leads to the milking room. If you go through a glass door you come into a circular room with glass sides where people can watch the cows coming through a tunnel, going under a shower-bath and being wiped with a towel. Each cow has a clean towel. The cows file by a man, who milks them first by hand to see that the milk is pure. Milking tubes are attached to the cow, and the milk is drawn up into a glass bowl. The milking tubes are taken off, the bars which have been holding the cow are unclasped, the cow goes through another tunnel, and the glass bowl is lifted automatic- ally, poured into a funnel and weighed. There are many other tricky gadgets which wash the bowls with hot and cold water and lift iron bars and there are big laboratories and experimental rooms. It would take a book to explain everything. The dairy ' s system is to hire cows from farmers and pay them so much per gallon. The cows only live from two to five years in this way, for they are never left in the sunshine to graze, but are given their vitamins in their food. But it cer- tainly must make the life of us humans longer! 17
