Wooden pails should never be used for milk, because of 
the difficulty of keeping them in order. 
Chas. Millan & Son, of Utica, N. Y., have recently brought 
out a superior tin milk pail, a cut of which we give in the 
figures on the preceding page. 
They are made in the best possible manner, from four-cross 
tin, imported on purpose for them, have but one seam in the 
body of the pail, and are soldered very smoothly. A tinned 
malleable iron rim or band is soldered firmlv to the bottom en- 
M 
closing it, and is so constructed as to thoroughly protect and 
support it and to raise it sufficiently to prevent it from resting 
on the floor and from picking up the dirt; it is also convenient 
for tipping the pail. The wire in the upper edge of the pail is 
enclosed by the tin and then soldered so that it cannot rust. 
The pail is made from the 
best tinned wire. 
The Iron Clad Co. of 
New York city makes a 
very substantial pail with 
convex bottom, upon which 
are rests to keep it out of 
the dirt, which ensures clean¬ 
liness in this part. The ac¬

form of this pail.
