Canvas Can Covers

To Get Cream and Milk to the Factory in Good Condition

If we were asked what single thing woul Ido most to insure milk and cream being delivered to the factory in good order and condition, we would say unhesitatingly the covering of each can with a wet canvas cover. To eff. ct the purpose desired we want every reader to understand that before the cover is p’ac d on the can it must be dipped in a tank cf water. After the wet cover has been placed on the can it can remain in the sun foi bouts with impunity, for the hotter the sun, the cnldrr will the milk or cream become, aud its delivery at the factory in grad order and condition will naturally follow In any other country in the w> rid so dependent as New Zealand is on its dairy industry, the use of wet canvas ewers on cream ard milk cans being taken to a factory would be made compulsory, but as dairyfarmers have votes, legislators are very shy about making things compulsory, oven if they are in tie best interests of the dairy farmers. But there is no occasion for dairy farmers to wait for compulsion in this matter, for now we have come to a period of low prices it is only the very best of either cheese or butter that is going to realise the highest prices.—Excbauge,
