THE DAIRY ROOM AND 

 THE ICE HOUSE 



CHAPTER X. 



THE dairy room should be reserved for 

 its set purpose because of the neces- 

 sity of its being always kept scrupu- 

 lously clean. 



No storage should be permitted, such as 

 apples, vegetables, and other products. 



Small animals should be excluded. 



It should be built like a good barn with 

 smooth walls and ceilings and a cement 

 floor. Whitewash should be applied on the 

 side walls and ceiling. The daily cleaning 

 should be a thorough one, special attention 

 being given to removing coagulated milk 

 from the floor, which if left will draw flies 

 and collect dirt. The windows should be 

 screened, and precaution taken against a 

 draft of wind laden with dust. A direct en- 

 trance from the barn should be avoided, or 

 at least an alley or ante room constructed. 

 ICE HOUSE. 



A supply of ice is scarcely to be dispensed
