DAIRY: a term which covers everything pertaining to milk--the "dairy" may be the farm, milk-house, place of butter and cheese manufacture or retail store. The best situation for a small dairy building is on the north side of the dwelling-house, in order that it may be sheltered from the sun during the heat of the day. Necessary features are ample ventilation, the absolute exclusion of flies and other insects and cool even temperature. The walls should be double, or at least especially thick, and the windows provided with shutters or doors. Farm dairies have been largely superseded by cheese and butter factories or "Creameries," generally divided into a number of departments. Association, State and Government dairy schools, and the Agricultural Experiment Stations have greatly increased the efficiency of those engaged in the industry.
