and there soured or curdled. To make the cleaning of dairy vessels more 

 easy, it is well to have no sharp comers, but to have all the joints made 

 round, and this may be done easily if one has the milk pails made to order." 



MUlt Cooler—There are quite a number of devices for this purpose, and 

 some of them are too com- 

 plicated, which must al- 

 ways be a serious objection. 

 Our engraving represents 

 an English milk cooler, 

 which ia heartily commend- 

 ed. In this apparatus s 

 very small quantity of cold 

 water, passing upward in a 

 very thin stream between 

 two corrugated sheets of 

 metal, rapidly abstracts the 

 heat from two shallow

 Ik into a small trough at

 inctured with holes, 

 lurough which the milk 

 runs, and is spread into so 

 fine a sheet that, instead of 

 -lling rapidly from step to step, it follows the corrugations of the surface. 

 : the enlarged section (Fig. 2) of a part of the refrigerator the descending 

 rows indicate the current of milk gradually cooling as it descends. The 

 ;rrent of water passing upward is warmed, so that when it passes out 

 of the spout at F it is very nearly of the same temperature as the milk 



in the receiver. This device appears to 

 be quite simple. 



Hour to Make Good Batter. — Be 



sure the pasture is of the best, and that it 



contains a variety of the sweetest grasses. 



Do not change from winter feed to spring 



pasture too suddenly, and, particularly, 



do not turn out yonr cows too early to 



shift for themselves. Let the milking be done by quiet persons, whether 



male or female, at regular times morning or evening, knowing always that 



'i3 milking is conducted as cleanly as it is quietly. 



Know that the utensils for holding the milk are of the best description 

 and always scrupulously clean-
