A Tank Car for Milk 
Some years ago our old friend O. W. 
Mapes suggested a new way of delivering 
milk. It was to be a great thermos bot¬ 
tle mounted on wheels and driven about 
the city. As is well known, the thermos 
bottle will keep the temperature of its 
contents (hot or cold) for many hours 
with slight changes in temperature. We 
have seen these bottles filled with hot 
water and then thrown out into the snow 
on a cold Winter’s night. After several 
hours of this exposure the water was 
still hot. We have also seen cold water 
put into these thermos bottles and then 
left out in the hot sun. Even when the 
outside of the bottle was so hot that you 
could hardly hold a hand on it the water 
inside remained cool. Now we hear of 
a thermos bottle car, exhibited at the 
National Dairy Show in Hamline, Minn., 
October 8-15. The following description 
is given : 
There are 8 lbs. of milk in a gallon. 
That would mean 100.800 lbs. to fill the 
huge tank car. The average cow gives 20 
lbs. of milk a day, so it would require one 
day’s milking of 5,040 cows to produce 
enough milk to fill a single car. The car 
is made of steel, lined with glass, similar 
in size and shape to the tank cars used 
for the transportation of oil. Test runs 
of 80 miles have been made by the tank 
cars, and in eight hours the temperature 
loss was only l 1 /^ degrees. The inside 
of the car is lined with glass. The car 
is chilled to the proper temperature, 
which it retains to the end of the jour- 
ney. The cars are filled in the same way 
as oil tank' cars. At the end of the trip 
the cars are steamed and sterilized. 
Deodorizing a Cedar Churn 
Can you tell me what to do to my new 
red cedar churn so that the butter 
churned in it it will not taste like cedar? 
I have tried soaking the churn in hot 
water and salt, but it made it smell 
stronger of cedar. MRS. J. H. 
Putnam, Conn. 
Leading authorities on the making of 
butter advise the following procedure in 
preparing a new churn for use. The 
churn should be thoroughly scalded to 
cleanse it; also the heat of the boiling 
water will open the pores of the wood, 
thus freeing some of the woody flavor. It 
is the custom in some creameries to put 
butter milk or skimmed milk in a new 
churn to absoro some of the flavor of the 
wood. It is wise to put the milk in the 
churn in the morning, and occasionally 
during the day tne churn should be re¬ 
volved to bring the milk in contact with 
all the interior oarts. A good plan is to 
leave either buttermilk or skim-milk in 
the churn overnight. A saturated solu¬ 
tion of lime water for treating strong 
smelling and stale churns is preferable to 
the use of a salt solution or brine. The 
salt brine is liable to rust the iron parts, 
and with continued use will cause such 
particles of rust to get into the butter. 
Concrete Barnyard 
Will readers having experience report 
the good and bad points of a concrete 
barnyard? I have horses and colts in the 
yard sometimes. Will they slip and hurt 
themselves? c * w * G *
