ON A DAIRY FARM. Here is where a dairy begins. Here we see the dairy cows,  Holsteins and Jerseys, resting in the shade after they have eaten their fill of the pasturage.

Here is a dairy cow with a queer looking machine attached. It is an electric milking machine. You will see the stream of milk flowing into the pail. Milking by hand is tiresome and expensive, and many attempts have been made to invent a milking machine which would prove a success. Nothing entirely satisfactory has thus far been invented and nearly all the milking is still done by hand. It takes an army of 300,000 men and women, working ten hours a day, 365 days in the year, to milk all the cows in America.

Here we see farmers bringing their milk in cans to the receiving station. Here it is received, measured and paid for.
