BENZINE TINS AS MILK CONTAINERS.
Benzine tins are frequently converted into buckets and used for holding milk and cream and for other purposes. As ordinarily used, however, they are objectionable owing to the grooved seams round the bottom and in the corners, as well as where the top has been cut out. Rust soon forms in these crevices, for, as they cannot be easily cleaned, they act as lodging places for decaying milk and cream.
To make such tins suitable for receptacles for milk and cream, the grooved and folded seams and the cut seam at the top should be smoothly flushed with solder prior to use. The bottom corners of these improvised cream buckets are the most difficult to keep clean and' a good plan is to melt a little extra solder into these corners to form a smooth triangular-shaped filling. If all the seams are treated in this way a very useful and sanitary dairy utensil will be provided, and the life of the can will be longer.
