lated accurately and very readilyby drawing
one, two, or more of the points 12 from their
cord 13 and lifting them out of the water. It
will thus be seen that only enough of the points
5 12 can be fastened in the water to carry as
much water down the sides of the bucket as
will be evaporated, this amount varying ac-
cording to the state of the weather.
My cooler is very easily kept clean, and
to there is practically no waste of water. When
the top 2 is to be removed, the side edges of
the cloths are unpinned and the cloths placed
in the top 2, when the top is lifted out of the
bucket by the central tube 7. The top only
15 requires filling with water about twice a day,
and will keep milk for twenty-four hours.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
ent, is-
20 1. In a milk-cooler, the combination, with
an open-topped milk-bucket i, of the water-re-
ceptacle 2, having inclined sides, and the cen-
tral vertical tube 7 of the cloth 11, whose up-
per end is removably secured around said
25 tube, as shown and described.
2. In a milk-cooler, the combination of the
cloth 11 with the water-receptacle or top 2,having the central vertical tube 7, said cloth
being removably attached to the tube, as
shown and described, for the purpose speci- 30
fled.
3. In a milk-cooler, the combination of the
cloth 11, having the cord 13 applied to its up-
per end, with the water-receptacle or top 2
and its central vertical tube 7, having the an- 35
nular shoulder near its lower end, all as shown
and described, whereby the cloth may be re-
movably secured to the tube and held, be-
neath the surface of the water contained in
said receptacle, as specified. 40
4. In a milk-cooler, the combination of a
bucket 1, the top or water-receptacle having
the inclined sides, the upper edge flange, the
central opening, and the central tube having
the wire-gauze atits upper end, and the cloths 45
11, formed at their upper ends with the se-
ries of separate tongues or points 12, and the
securing-cords 13, on which the free ends of
the tongues 12 are removably secured, sub-
stantially as set forth.
