Good Milking Machine Promises Cleaner Farm Milk
The Good Milk Machine by Robert Lytle Co. uses a five horsepower gas engine to create a vacuum and pulsator action that milks cows without barn dust. Tested at Peter Barth’s farm near the city, it reportedly milks 20 to 30 cows efficiently with two teat cups per can and promises faster, cleaner milking and reduced labor for farmers.
