If of wood, I prefer inside lining of oiled Georgia pine up and down without any bead and at least two air spaces lined with good paper. The windows should, as much as possible, be on the north side and provided with screens, Venetian blinds and in the north, with storm sashes. The roof should have a steep pitch and is best made of slate, but shingles boiled in a copperas solution will do. Tin roofs are alright for the boiler room, but too warm for the creamery proper, and if used, should be painted white. The ceilings should be double with air space. The smoke stack should be made of brick and rather be 10 feet too high than, as they generally are, 20 feet too low. As to construction for small creameries where one man has to attend to boiler and engine, separators or churns, as well as to receive the milk, the one level system is the best. The churn floor should be lowered enough to run the cream from the vats into the churn. Unless one has a self-lifting heater a pump must be used, and if so, the best one is the Danish, Fig. 74. Similar ones are sold here, such as the "Ideal," by the Creamery Package Mfg. Co., Chicago, and they are comparatively easy to clean. Of pitcher pumps I have seen some made to order for a large creamery company that could be taken completely apart and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Monrad, John Henry, 18
