Plan Of Dairy House, Showing General Arrangement

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Because recent developments in dali
rying have caused large demand for
q dairy house which will fulfill sani-
tary requirements, plans for practi-
cal and inexpensive dairy house are
suggested In Farmers Bulletin $50 OF
the United States department of agri-
culture. For those who are striving
to improve the quality OF their prod
ucts such building is an absolute me-
cessity. Milk which is poured or
strained in the barn, or allowed to
stand there, is liable to be contami-
mated by bacteria and to absorb stable
odors. AS soon as the cows milk is
drawn 1t should be carried to the dairy
house, to be strained and cooled imme-
diately to 80 degrees F. or lower. An
up-to-date sanitary dairy house Is pro-
vided with all the facilities for cooling
milk In the most economical and expe-
ditious manner
For convenience the dairy house
should be near the barn, yet 80 far
from 1t that no barn odors can be de-
tected in the house, and should be on
well-drained. land which slopes from
the house.
The prin cipal purpose in building a
dairy house Is to provide place where
dairy products A.-~y Ne handled apart
from anything else. To carry out this
idea 1t Is necessary to divide the inte-
rior Of the building so that the utensils
do not have to be washed in the same
room where the milk is handled. The
Idea OF absolute cleanliness must al
ways be kept in mind; therefore there
should be no unnecessary lodges or
rough surfaces on which dirt may
lodge. Ventilators are necessary to
keep the air in the milk room fresh
and free from all odors and to carry
steam away from the washroom. Win
dows are Of great Importance, as they
admit sunlight and fresh air and facili-
tate work. In summer the doors and
windows should be screened to exclude
dies and other insects

tiful supply Of cold, running water at
