SPRING HOUsEs-COOLGSG MILK.
One Of the first requisites Of good dairy is a con-
veuiert spring Of oleaI. cold wster-not necessarily
to dilute tie milk, but cool IT, The milk is usually
strained directly r;o the forygallon cans, in which
it IL shipped to the city and retaed out by milknen
In warm weather the must be set in cool wster
to drive off the animal heat from the miik-else il
would certainly not keep. To do this al admirable
spring house is ulsdc by digging hole, say three
feel deep, and Of any required s.ze; make box &c
cit it, and over the box balld rough board shantyi
lay plank wall through the center OF the box aud
when all j. ready let III tie water having overflow
pipe or tube Of some kind TO conduct the water away
and not suffer It 10 soak into the soil about the house
and make qusgmire. The box should be made deep
enough to allow the cans to set in the water as deep
as their necks.
On this principle al the Orange County spring
heuses are niade-som-times being OF stOue ani &C.
p.ent, but generally of boards. Do not many of ouI
farmer friends who have rice, cool springs on toe
place think that FIVE dollars laid out in making
effective spring house would be paying investment
The dairymeu allow their milk TO stand in the
spring house twelve or twentyour hours, as msy be
necessary. In midsummer they @ilk early in the ST
terpoon, so that the milk may be cooled and sent OF
by that evenings tfsin with the mornings meas
Usually tie nights aud next morning nulk are sent
together; but when the heat is extreme both messe,
o. the same day are sent. Mr.. Brooks has deep
well under the mix room in his barn, and his practice
bss been to strain milk ia Summer into "cool-rs'-
long tin pals, sbou. ~ deep by in diamster-
which arc set in tubs or troughs Of cold water
When he is pressed to got bis milk to market, he
strains into the large cans and let's them do+n Oh
platform into the well, cay 80 gallons at once.
In some csses the OF the cans are fastened
down by staples and psdlocks, go that none can be
stolen, nor aDy water introduced. unless tbs lock Is
picked. The general practice, however, lie e
send the cans without any fastening whatever
