 The Milking Machine as a Factor in Dairying (A Preliminary Report)Clarence B. Lane and Stocking, W. A., No 396342, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture Abstract: Excerpts from the Letter of Transmittal: I have the honor to transmit herewith a preliminary report on "The Milking Machine as a Factor in Dairying," an investigation of this subject by the Dairy Division having been authorized by you. The first part deals with the practical side and the second part with the bacteriological phase of the subject. Recent improvements in milking machines have led to their introduction and practical use in some of the larger dairies of the country, and there are indications that these machines may come into general use in the near future and become, an important economic factor in the dairy industry. While the investigations so far made have been too limited to justify any sweeping deductions or positive conclusions, it is believed, in view of the importance and present interest of the subject to dairymen, that the results here presented are of sufficient value to warrant their publication, and I therefore recommend the publication of this report as Bulletin No. 92 in the series of this Bureau.
