THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 263 



into which the cans of cream are set, and in which large chunks 

 of ice are kept most of the time. This tank would naturally be 

 located in the work room, on the way from the intake to the 

 freezer, and the freezer between the cream tank and the cold 

 room door. 



The ice crusher should be so placed that as the ice is thrown 

 down the chute, it will fall close to the sweet cream tank on the 

 one side, and close to the crusher on the other. Then, as coarse 

 blocks are required in the tanks, no needless draging will be 

 found necessary. And, when wanted fine, it will still be near the 

 machine to be broken. 



The freezer would best be within a few steps of the cream, 

 and within one step and easy shoveling distance from the supply 

 of cracked ice. 



The tank or cabinet, for the storage of the finished ice cream, 

 should be in a cold room, and yet close to the crushed ice, which 

 means that the crusher had better be near the door opening 

 through into the storage room. 



The storage room will, of necessity, be damp, with so much 

 ice about, so when avoidable it will hardly be advisable to store 

 in the butter refrigerator, which should be kept dry, or measur- 

 ably so. A separate room, where it can be provided, located as 

 shown in the accompanying plan, should be provided when prac- 

 ticable. 



The ripening vat and churn may also be arranged much as 

 shown, the butter progressing to the end of the room in which 

 the butter refrigerator is located and on same side as shipping- 

 out door. 



In the accompanying plan, which it should be stated, is 

 shown more as a suggestion than as an ideal arrangement, it 

 will be noted the boiler and coal bin are close to the place of ac- 

 tivity, the intake, where also is placed the sampling outfit and 

 tester. 



The store room, for tubs, liners, etc., is near the churn and, 

 close by, a bench table for packing small orders of butter. If 

 both the ripeners are needed for churning cream, the one near
