Fig. 1:32 represents the kind of can that is generally used for carrying milk to a factory. The sides are perpen- dicular, and the lid slips down inside until it rests on the surface of the milk, thus preventing a too violent agitation III riinte. In the mid- dle of the lid is a hole through which the gases (.f the milk can escape. As many farmers send their milk to the factory in ordinary farm carts that are innocent of springs, the milk woiild be almost Fig. 132.—Fact.)KT . churned on its way if the space in the can were large enough to allow the milk to wash about; the sliding lid of the can obviates this. Arrived at the factory, the milk is poured into a can that stands on a weighing-machine, both of which are raised high enough to atlmit of the milk running down tin pipes direct into the milk-vats, and so obviating all lifting of the milk after it is weighed; and in order to this the carts are stood ujion raised ground outside whilst they arebeingunloaded.

In many cases the weigh- ing-can has a plug- tap in the bottom instead, and when each lot of milk is weighed it is let out by raising the plug with a chain that is attached to it. In the ease of the can shown in the woodcut the bottom of the can inclines toward the shute, so that all the milk easily runs out; and this can admits of being placed on a lower plat- form than the other, because the pipe does not jwss under it to abstract the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloratio
