pipe should be carried down inside to the bottom, then an elbow should 

 be attached and a length of piping carried along the bottom of the 

 trough or tub nearly the full length or width. This pipe should be 

 drilled with holes or have slits cut in it, every two inches, to allow 

 steam to escape all along. The end of the pipe should be closed with a. 

 plug. When it is required to boil the water or brine it is only necessary 

 to open the valve and turn on the steam. 



Should it be advisable to pasteurise milk, which has to travel a 

 long distance, this can be done by standing the cans of milk in the 

 trough and boiling the water round the cans by means of the steam. 

 The milk should be heated up to 150° Fahr. and then immediately 

 cooled down to as low a temperature as possible by being run over an 

 aerator. 



At milking time the litter earner can be run outside the shed, leaving 

 the track clear to use a milk carrier to remove cans of milk from the 

 cowshed to the separator room, and by an extension of the track the 

 heated milk could be run on to the aerator-room, which should be a 

 cool, airy room away from the main building. 



There is ample room above the shed for an extensive storage loft with 

 a chute to deliver foodstuffs into the feed-room.
