BENZINE CANS FOE MILK
RISK OF GROOVED SEAMS. Frequently benzine cans sfre converted into buckets, and used for holding milk and cream and fori other purposes. These cans 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, and tfs' they cannot be easily' cleaned they act as lodging places for decaying milk and cream. To make these - cans suitable receptacles for milk and cream, the grooved and folded seams and and the cut seam at the top should be smoothly finished with solder prior to use. After lightly applying killed spirits to the seams, place a bead ;of solder in position, and then, resting the heated iron for a moment to melt the solder, draw it gently along the seam. The can should be -tilted slightly, so that the solder will more readily. follow the iron and fill the seam. The more the solder can be sweated into these seams the better the result, so that, it is advisable , r ,to heat the, metal as much as possible.
