230 AMERICAN DAIRYING. 



Importance of drainage. — The drainage 

 should be conducted at least forty rods away 

 from the building and a greater distance is 

 better. Creamery drainage is very offensive in 

 hot weather. 



Criticisms of plan. — The accompanying plan 

 shows a very well arranged creamery. The 

 driveway and receiving platform should be two 

 feet higher, which would make it much easier 

 emptying the cans into the weigh-can. The 

 engine is in the room with the separators. This 

 is as it should be. The engine should not be in 

 the room with the boiler. There is too much 

 dust from the coal and ashes and it is more 

 convenient to get at in the room with the sep- 

 arators. The cream vats are in a room separate 

 from the separator-room and churn-room. The 

 churn and butter-worker are in one room. 

 This is a good arrangement. This room should 

 be' so arranged that the temperature can be 

 controlled during the time of churning and 

 working the butter. The temperature of the 

 cream must be held down during the churning 

 process to secure the best results in quality and 

 quantity of butter. A high temperature will not 

 secure, the desired object. The temperature may 

 be controlled from the refrigerator or by having 

 an ice-box in the room built so as to obtain a 

 circulation of air about the ice. It is desirable 

 to control the temperature of the cream-room
