PLAN OF THE SCHUYLERVILLE CREAMERY. 



On the left end, as you stand facing the creamery, is the receiv- 

 ing-room, with a crane for raising the cans of cream and dumping 

 them into the receiver, with a strainer, the spout of which passes 

 through the partition and into the cream-vats in the next room 

 towards the right. In the receiving-room also is a sink, supplied 

 with hot and cold water, and a steam jet for washing the cans and 

 steaming them outOwithout taking them into any other part of the 

 creamery. This is an important aid in preserving the strictest clean- 

 liness throughout the factory. The sink is connected with the drain.
