The foregoing cut shows the can generally used in gathering the 

 cream for the factories. It is provided with a self-filling float which fits 

 closely in the can, and prevents the cream from churning. The tin 

 can is surrounded with several thicknesses of heavy building paper. 

 This paper forms dead air spaces between the tin and wooden 

 casing and is a perfect barrier against the heat or cold. A funnel 

 cover is also furnished as shown in the cut. 



Co-operation in dairying can be adjusted to meet the wants of 

 any community of dairymen, whether the number concerned be 

 large or small. In case but a few individuals only wish to unite in 

 the business, then the outfit should correspond in capacity and in 

 cost to the amount of business intended. A plan is here given 

 of a creamery of a capacity of fifty pounds of butter a day, 

 adapted to either co-operative or private work. There are many 

 cases where such apartments can be finished off in buildings already 

 erected. The plan calls for space 12 by 26 feet.

PLAN OF SMALL CREAMERY. 



The churn may be run by hand power, horse power or a small 

 engine. In case an engine is used there is the advantage of ^steam 

 for heating and scalding in addition to the power^ desired for carry- 



ing the churn.
