BtTILDING, 
The building faces tlie novtli, consists of four rooms, and is adjoining tlie 
fodder room, so that the shafting is available for driving the machinery 
in the latter. 
Walls, constructed of whatever bricks would be most easily obtained in 
the locality, are formed with cavities, to keep out the heat in summer and 
the cold in winter, and would be lined in the interior up to a height of, say 
4 ft. G iu., with glazed brickwork, so that they can be easily cleaned. 
Itoof would bo covered with ordinary slates, which modern authorities 
consider form a cooler and tighter roof than tiles, and a better protector 
against dust. 
There is a ceiling formed of tongued and grooved match-boarding, 
either painted or varnished, and which has the advantage of being a non- 
conductor and easily cleaned. 
The space between the ceiling and the slates is ventilated by the inlet 
flues A and the outlet flue B, so as to counteract the heat generated by 
radiation from the roof and keep the ceiling cool. 
Floor would be of either cement or flags, according to locality ; and the 
drainage by open channels, leading on to outside gulle}S situated away 
from the opening to the dairy, thus excluding injurious gases. 
Windows are all situated on the north side, so as to be out of the sun's 
rays, and the top light would be hung at the bottom, and open inwards, 
with a gauze screen on the outside to exclude dust or insects. 
Ventilatioit. 
The ventilation would be eS'ected by the extracting flues C, which, being 
situated on either side of smoke flue S, would be warmed by the latter, and 
thus an upward current always maintained irrespective of wind and weather. 
These ventilating flues would extract the air from the Dairy by the ven- 
tilators D, situated close under the ceiling so as to remove tlie warmest air. 
In the store two inlet flues E fitted with regulators will provide fresh 
cool air from tlie north side, and from these the air will pass through the 
store and out through the openings F into the Dairy, the current through 
both rooms being maintained by the flues C previously mentioned. 
Tlie Boiler House and Cleaning Room will also be ventilated into one of 
the extraction flues C. 
If the local conditions are favourable, the fresh air for the inlet flues E 
in store, could be brouglit through an underground culvert so as to cool the 
air in transit, 
HE.VTIITCt. 
In the winter the Dairy would be heated by a steam pipe carried along 
the walls and regulated by valve. 
Dairy Scullery forms an entrance into the Dairy, thus keeping the latter 
clean and cool. 
In the verandah outside would be situated the Steaming Jet, and Bench 
for draining and sweetening the cans by exposure to the air. 
Washing-itp Teougti formed of Galvanised Iron would be situated at 
end, with cold water supply, steam boiling apparatus, and drainer. This 
apparatus will also supply boiling water. 
Cold Water Storage tank in roof. 
Dairy. 
The Dairy would be provided with mechanical Elevator for delivering 
the milk immediately it is received into the Milk Storage Tank, carried 
on raised platform, and which could be fitted with sieve, if desired. 
The milk would then gravitate over the milk warmer into the Separator, 
which latter would be capable of separating 90 gallons of milk per hour.
