DAIRYING 



A section of one of the Cooley milk-setting cans as it appears 

 in the box is given in Fig. 874. The water is shown flowing over 

 it, and the cream gathering on the top of the milk. 



In this connection we give a representation of a cream-raising 

 apparatus of unusual merit, invented by Mr. Weldon. (Fig. 875.) 

 The tank in which the tin cans are placed is constructed of plank, 

 and has at one end, near the top, a water inlet pipe, and at the 

 other end an opening partly closed by a gate (A) which regulates 

 the hight of the water. The milk-cans (B), which stand in the 

 water, have perforated foot-rims, admitting of a free circulation of 

 water under the cans, and weighted covers (C) are provided, which 

 fit loosely and extend downward sufficiently to dip in the water and 

 thus hermetically seal the cans. The cream is removed from the 

 milk by a conical skimmer (D).
