Delayed meals increase the house

A combined ice house and milk
room make an ideal arrangement.
| The milk room section should be well
| lighted and well ventilated and of
| convenient size, the size depending
upon the amount of milk and cream
to be handled. There should be room
for the separator. On one side OF
the room there should be a cooling
tank, high enough to permit nearly
the full depth of the can to be i'm.
mersed in water and wide and long
enough to permit number of cans
to stand beside one another sideways
as we'll as lengthwise in the tank
This will prevent tipping and the
spilling of milk and cream will be
obviated. All of the water pumped
for the stock should be made first tc
run through the milk cooling tank
The inlet of the water pipe should be
at one end of the tank and the outlet
to the stock tank at the other. Mill
and cream should be put into thi:
water in the winter as well as in the
summer. This quickly cools the mill
and prevents it from freezing. Tht
can may be weighted down so tina
the surface of the milk in the can il
few inches below the surface of the
water in the tank. By stirring th,
cream occasionally with a cream stir
rer, quick cooling will be facilitated
and the cream will be more uniform
in it's consistency.
