A SIMPLE BUTTER-COOLER. 
Tue illustration herewith depicts a very ingenious butter-cooler, which is th? 
invention of Mr. B. Seppelt, of Sepplefields Court, 
South Australia. It is thus described in the Melbourne 
Weekly Times :— 
On a post about 4 feet in height a platform is made 
about 2 feet square, with a galvanised iron trough or 
gutter round the edge. On this platform a wooden frame 
is constructed, haying an angle roof, and one side fitted 
so as to form a door. Canvas is stretched over the whole 
of the framework, and a pipe from the water supply is 
led up and bent over the top. The water from ate ipe 
is allowed to drip on to the canvas just fast enough to 
keep the covering damp, the surplus being caught in the 
gutter below. The result is a cool, flyproof safe, in 
which, during the hottest weather, butter can be kept 
firm and in good condition. If a water supply from a Fe 
stand pipe is not available, just as good results can be 
obtained from a kerosene tin filled with water and placed | 
on the post above the safe. A small hole in the bottom 
of the tin partially plugged with rag will admit of a 
trickle of water escaping, but care must be taken to 
maintain a regular supply in the tin.
