The creamery is built as follows : Joist for elevated 

 floor, 2x8, spiked to studs supported in center with 

 4x6 timbers, shored up on pillars. Ends shored up 

 with 2x4 studs ; outside walls 2x4 studding, 12 feet 

 long. On outside of studs nail rough inch boards ; paper 

 with building paper, fur on it with inch strips ; side 

 with drop siding, or stock-boards stripped ; on inside of 

 studs, rough board, paper, fur out with inch strips and 

 ceil with fence flooring, ceiling overhead with fence floor- 

 ing ; floor laid with clear flooring ; partitions ceiled on 

 studs set flat ways, on both sides, leaving two-inch air 

 space. Cream and churn rooms can be in one, or par- 

 titioned, as desired. 



The above-described creamery has capacity sufficient 

 to manufacture from 700 to 1,200 pounds of butter a 

 day. To enlarge its capacity add to the width of main 

 building. The raised floors are constructed for conven- 

 ience in handling cream. Cream taken into receiving 

 room, strained and carried into vats through conductor 

 pipes ; also from vats to churns, through conductor 

 pipe, saving all lifting of cream in cans, rendering it 

 possible for one man to do one-half more work than in a 

 creamery without raised floors. An office can be taken 

 oS of wash-room if desired.
