Wood is difficult to keep sweet, glass is too brittle and expensive, 

 and glazed earthenware too cumbersome. 



Prepared paper, as used for buckets, I have never tried, but 1 do 

 believe that enameled steel will prove the very best and most substan- 

 tial material. 



This will not do for milk transportation, they would be too ex- 

 pensive and our milk train men can give ''pointers" to the champion 

 baggage smasher in disfiguring a can. 



But for cream ripening cans in dairies and " starter " cans in 

 creameries and cheese factories, I see no reason why a good enam- 

 eled can should not be the very best. 



I have been in correspondence with a firm making enameled 

 goods trying to get them to make a sample can holding 180 Ibs., but 

 lack of enterprise foiled my plans. 



A 20 Ib. enameled can may.be bought anywhere for the first de- 

 velopment and a can holding 180 Ibs. would do nicely for the second 

 and one such can would be enough for most creameries as it holds 

 starter for 1800 to 3600 Ibs. of cream. 



These cans will I believe cost from $14 to $15 retail, but it 

 would pay to use them. 



A COKEECTION. 



The pasteurizing heater illustrated in Fig. 38, page 37, which I 

 copied from an advertisement where no explanation was given, is. 

 according to "Milch Zeitung" not a centrifugal machine on the 

 Lefeldt plan, but has a horizontal revolving dasher which acts in the 

 same manner as the vertical one in Fig. 37.
