HANDLING OF MILK AND CREAM 137 



f rigerating plant, it is well to separate the boiler by a partition from 

 the engine and fire room and thus avoid the dust, ashes and dirt 

 from fuel.* 



Space does not permit of more than a brief outline of the more 

 •elaborate dairy plant, but we would refer to onef who makes a 

 business of planning and installing such, from whom we have de- 

 rived many valuable suggestions. The object of this book is to 

 detail the less elaborate and more essential methods which may be 

 used by the farmer without great expense in the production of 

 clean milk on a moderate scale.

Bottle Carriers. 



In the handling of milk bottles in the dairy, it is much more 

 convenient — though not essential — if they can be transported and 

 inverted in numbers without handling each bottle separately. Thus 

 carriers have been invented for holding them, with reversing racks, 

 so that the bottles may be inverted — as when they are washed and 

 sterilized — by turning over as many as 20 bottles at once (see Fig. 

 .41). Cars are also made which are used to transport these carriers
