AN IMPROVED MILK CAN.

FIT FOR THE CITY TIUDE. ■The officers of tlie Live .Stock Division of tho Agricultural Department have on view at their rooms in Custom House Quay a milk can that they recommend for use. It has numerous virtues. To begin with, it is in effect seamless, the one.join down the side and the join round the bottom being smoothedwith solder. There are, therefore, no folds to hold dirt and germs from day to day. The covers are iii a set of two. The inner-one is only wide enough to fit the

insido of the can, and it slides down to tho level of the milk.' It prevents slopping. The outer one has a rinrwhich fits down over.

tlie outside, and is substantially dust-proof. Tho can, of course,'has perpendicular sides — an essential to all milk suppliers who wish the public to believo their cans are well cleaned. Suppliers to some of tho dairy factories already use cans of approved make, but generally the straight-tip cans are heavy onough to need two men to movo thorn. Tho cans usually sent !to the" cities are smaller, and possess narrow necks.. The can now under description, although straight, is small enough for orio man to tyove, and would enable a conscientious man to distribute his , town milk in better condition. Apparently it should not be expensive.
