CREAMERY CONVENIENCES 123 



Steam and water connected with hose to wash 

 vats, walls, and floor. Cases for separator and pas- 

 teurizer parts hung neatly on the wall near the 

 machines as shown in Fig. 6. 



A case similar to the above for a complete set of 

 creamery man's tools. 



An oilcloth to cover the engine and separators 

 when not in use, to keep off the dust. 



A clamp to hold small butter tubs and 5-pound 

 boxes firm when packing them. 



A home-made water pump regulator is a most 

 helpful and economical device. It is made by at- 

 taching a, float on the water tank to one end of 

 a lever, the other end of which is attached to 

 the throttle of the pump in such a way that as the 

 water in the tank rises or falls it shuts or opens 

 the throttle. This not only keeps the tank full but 

 the pump adjusts itself to the varying boiler pressure 

 and to the quantity of water used. The water is 

 pumped into and drawn out of the tank through a 

 siphon, so that as soon as the pump starts the water 

 comes direct from the spring or well. 



An adjustable overflow on the water jacket of the 

 cream vat, made by screwing in a short piece of pipe 

 and elbow on the inside near the bottom, with a 

 corresponding rod on the outside to indicate its posi- 

 tion, and a vertical pipe in the elbow which can be 

 turned up or down to keep the water the same 

 height as cream. This enables one to keep a continual 

 stream of water running around it and saves ice and 

 time.
