floor Is very unsatisfactory because 1t
is not durable, does not dry quickly,
collects filth. and when wet is slippery
and hard to work on. The floors
should have a good slope leading to
drains fitted with proper traps.
Water Supply.-An abundance of
clean, cold, running water is neces-
sary. If the location Is such that wa.
ter from a municipal water system
cannot be supplied, 1t may be obtained
from an elevated tank or by means of
a compressed air system.
Equipment.-The dairy house equip
ment depends largely upon the pur-
pose for which the house Is to be used.
A boiler is the most convenient means
of furnishing steam and hot water for
washing and sterilizing cans and uten-
sils. An upright boiler of two to four
horse power will serve the purpose.
The washrOom should contain a
sink having n drain board. The drain
board may be fitted with steam and
water connections so that the cans and
pals can be rinsed and steamed after
they are washed. 1t Is desirable 10

Pattens.

Americans find it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick
ems means when he says in ''Da-
vid COpperfield:" women went
clicking along the pavement in pat
tens" Pattens were an abbreviated
form of stills. The word is also
used by builders as the name Of the
base of column or pillar, and so,
architecturally, the pattern is the sup
port used by woman to keep her out
of the water and mud. From this
architectural use has come the second
airy application of the word, meaning
an arrangement attached to the shoe,
so that the walker Is raised three or
four inches above the solid earth. If
the mud and water did not exceed that
depth, the shoes were thus kept fairly
dry. 1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were luxu-
ries INDUCED In by the very poor. In
speaking of person who was
not especially speedy, Ben JOnson uses

On the edge of the blue ocean, at the

TT Is impossible to draw plan of a
i dairy house that will meet the re-
quirements Of every individual case. In
order to design a plan properly, II Is
necessary to know the size of the herd,
how the product Is to be disposed OF
(whether as whole milk, cream, or
butter), the location of the barn, well,
etc. However, there are few general
principles that should be followed in
the building of any dairy house.
Cocation.-AlthOugh the dairy house
should be near enough to the barn to
be convenient, 1t should not be directly
connected with the barn because ii is
then likely to be filed with stable
lodors which are absorbed by the milk
or cream. 1t is well to leave an open
air space of six to ten feet between the
barn and the dairy house. Placing the
dairy house on the side of the barn
opposite the barnyard also lessons the
chance Of stable odOrs being absorbed
by the milk. Proper drainage from
the dairy house is important and must
be considered when selecting the lOca-
ton.
Construction.-Theb building material
may be drop siding, brick, or concrete,
depending upon the investment the
builder desires to make. The inside
walls should be smooth. Plastered
walls are preferable since board walls
have tendency to rot, especially close
to the floor. Rotting can be Obviated
to a certain extent by plastering the
walls up to height of about three
feet.
The building should be so parti-
toned that the milk room. wash room,
and boiler room are separate. The
rooms should be well lighted by win
dOws, and ventilation should be sup
piled by an opening placed in the cell
ing of each room. Each ventilator
should be fitted with some sort of
damper to regulate its action.

the following purposes the dairy
house is to serve. namely: O selling
whole milk in bui.. (2) making butter
or selling cream; and (0 bOttling
milk on the farm.
The illustrations shU N are designed
for dairies with as many as twenty
five cows In the herd. For larger
herds it may be necessary to build a
dairy house having larger dimensions
than those submitted. If 1t is not in
tended to have the dairy house fitted
with boiler room and washrOOm,
1t may be made smaller than suggest
ed by eliminating that part Of the
building devoted to such rooms.
Dairy House for Selling Whole Milk
In Bulk.
The milkrOOm should contain q coil
cooler for cooling the milk as quickly
as possible after 1t is drawn. The milk
may then be put into eight or ten
gallon cans and set in the cooling
tank, or the preliminary cooling may
be omitted and the cans of warm milk
placed In the cooling tank. The cool
ing tank may be fitted with water con-
nectiOns so that the milk can be kept
cold by running water, or the tank
may be insulated and fitted with a lid
so that ice may be placed in the cool
ing water. The latter is not necessary
if there is good supply of cold water
which will keep the milk at temper
ature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
A hand-separator may be installed
in case of the necessity of skimming
surplus milk.
Dairy House for Selling Cream or
Making Butter.
Selling cream necessitates the use of
a centrifugal separator and cooling
tank or refrigerator. Making butter
requires the additional equipment Of a
churn, and a table upon which to print
and wrap the butter. The cooling tank
may be built Of size depending on
the amount of material to be kept
cool. The cream should be cooled di-
rectly after skimming and kept cool
until 1t Is delivered or ripened for
churning, as the case may be.
A gasoline engine may be installed
In the washrOOm to furnish power for
separating and churning. If such an
engine Is used, the exhaust should be
piped through the roof of the building
in order to avoid the possibility of the
gasoline flavor being absorbed by the
cream.
Dairy House for BottIino Milk.
For bottling milk on the farm the
dairy house should be larger and con.
tain more equipment than is required
for the two aforementioned purposes
A doubLe-cOmpartment sink Is convent
ent for washing and rinsing bottles
There should be a sterilizer for steril
izing all bottles before they are filed
This may be used also to sterilize the
milk pals. cooler and the bother. The
sterilizer may be constructed of hollow
tile plastered with cement plaster. or
of heavy galvanized sheet iron rein
forced with angle iron. A drain
should be placed in the floor of the
sterilizer and n ventilator with q tight
fitting damper in the ceiling. Shelves
may be arranged so that they will
mold the bottles i'm an inverted posi-
ton, or, if cases of the proper kind
are used. the bottles can be put intl
Tensas gazette., 1917-03-16

sulntiOn it is best to use two layers
and break the joints in each direction.
A slush coat of cement plaster should
be put in between the two layers and
the outside, covered with cement plas-
ter. The doors should be tight-fitting
erd well-insulated. The ice bunker
should be placed in the upper part of
the refrigerator and the air shafts
should be so constructed as to obtain
good circulation of air. The Illus
tratiOn shows the proper method of
insulating a refrigerator and also the
construction necessary to give the
proper circulation of air.
The milkrOOm should have some
sort of cooler for cooling the milk raD-
idly to a temperature below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. AS the milk is put into
the cooler supply can it may be
strained through cotton outing flannel
or through absorbent cotton held be-
tween cheeseclOths.
y separator should be installed alsG
fer skimming surplus milk or to SUP
ply cream for the cream trade.
