New PLAN OF DELIVERING MILK.-A
at Elmira, n Y, has intro
duced new plan of delivering milk. In
his wagon are arranged side racks, con-

pure, fresh milk, full measure. These
bottles are delivered as required. The
customer returns the bottles left the
lay before; and no pitchers, pals,
bowls, or dishes are necessary. Anoth-
er advantage of this system, especially
in warm weather, is that each bottle is
tightly corked, and can be laid in a
pail or pan of cold water, keeping it
fresh and sweet, or put away in a cooler,
taking up but little room.
