- Milking Machine, circa 1865 - Milking cows by hand is time-consuming. The American Cow Milker was an early attempt to speed up this task and increase production. Farmers operated the handles to create suction in the rubber tubes, which retrieved milk. Its success was limited. Later, as they became cleaner, more efficient, and safer for the animal, milking machines gained popularity and were generally accepted.
