The milk house should be located near the barn and convenient to a
clean water supply. Care must be taken to provide for the outflow of
the water from the vat. This can be done by leading a line of pipe
from the vat to a discharge point at a lower level or to the drinking
troughs for the stock.
Often the water from a flowing spring can be piped several hundred feet
to the house, providing an excellent means of keeping the milk cool and
sweet.
