commodate the separators. Pitch all floor to gutters. This is an addition of one bell trap. 5. The usefulness of the creamery room is largely dependent on its width. On the plan this is reduced at the separator end fully 11 feet by the L on the platform and by the counter. Leave out counter and cut off L from platform. 6. Nothing specified as to construction of platforms. Common wooden ones are entirely unsuitable on the score of preserving cleanliness and freedom from odors. Arrange in some way for cement platforms. Even the best dairy barns have cement floors. This would reduce the amount of cement floor and of glazed brick required at the ends. 7. Present lift too small to handle the machinery. Make it 4*2x5 feet and put it at opposite side of bottling room. 8. Change stairs from end of cheese room to the present location of lift in bottling room, and leave out small door from bottling room to cheese room, and the cheese room portion of platform. 9. Leave out the two north 8-inch brick walls, reducing the curing rooms to one, throwing space into constructor's and power room. Leave out the two present cheese curing room doors and glaze the wall above 3*2 feet. Make north door into this room double and five feet wide, setting close to corner of room. It needs all this room to accommodate the necessary machinery, and it is better to do with one curing room than to lose this space.
