The author has built several dairy-houses for himself and other dairymen; the latest and most improved, how- ever, is the last one made for his own use, and described as follows. The ground plan is shown at figure 42. It consists of a tank-room and a churning-room, with an attic overhead. The tank-room is three feet below the gL'ound level, for the sake of coolness; the churning- room is a foot above the ground. The whole house is ten by twenty feet, inside measurement; the tank-room is ten by eight, and the churning-room ten by twelve.

The tank is twenty-two inches deep, made of brick laid in cement, and with a loose brick floor. It has a perma- nent cool spring running through it, and an overflow pipe eighteen inches above the bottom, to keep this depth of water always in it. The cans used are the deep cans, twenty by eight and a half inches, each holding four- teen quarts, or thirty pounds of milk. The tank has a passageway around it, and has a falling door over it to exclude dust and preserve the desired temperature, when there is need for it, as m extremely hot or cold weather.
