At the Inter- national Dairy Show in Hamburg in 1877 we saw one of these coolers, whose efiiciency was even superior to that of Lawrence's cooler, against which it was tested in our presence. The prin- ciple was, however, the same in both, and the German was but a copy, perhaps a piracy, on the English invention. The milk-cans, or " churns," as some i)Cople awkwardly term them, do not deviate much in general i)atleni, but some of them are more strongly constructed than others, and consequently more serviceable; the best of them have the f<!west possible seams in which the milk can lodge, and the lids are so made as to be easily attached and detached. The best railway milk- can we have ever seen is the one shown in Figs. 203 and 204, and made by Mr. Alway, of London. This can is made of two pieces only, so as to have a minimum of seams; the bottom hoop is double the ordinary strength, and is put inside instead of outside the body, as shown in the cut; the cover or lid is also made of one piece only, and the method of fastening and unfastening it is very simple, while the whole structure is so substantial that the liability to breakage is very small. One of the chief annoyances to the farmer in the milk trade is the knocking and smashing which the cans undergo en rouie. They are treated with no tenderness at all by the railway officials, whose carelessness is soon imitated by the servants of the farm. It is chiefly the empty. Fig. 203.—Railway Milk-can.
