As will be observed by reference to Figure270, a pipe is run up the side of the dairy, and connectswith other pipes traversing the roof horizontally. Oneof these pipes is on the ridge, and another pipe surroundsthe building about half way down the roof. Both thesepipes are perforated, and the water is forced out on tothe roof in small jets and sprays, and runs down and iscaught in the gutter, like Fig. 270—AX AUSTRALIAN DAIRY The dairy is constructed on improved principles. Ithas a double roof, and is virtually double-walled, as anenclosed veranda surrounds it on all sides, and apartfrom the application of water to the roof for cooling pur-poses, it is a model dairy in every respect. By its con-strviction, and the means adopted to apply water to theroof, this dairy can be cooled to almost any temperaturedesirable, in the hottest day in summer, in a very shorttime. After the water is applied for cooling purposes itis used to irrigate the fields when necessary.
