Frank Wards Latest Experiment.

Frank Ward left for New York on the 1910
train last night. Besides his gripsack, con-
tanning his tooth brush and change of linen.
he carried as baggage twonty gallons of milk
and ten gallons of cream in his patent refrig-
Grating cans. This milk and cream was from
Col. James A. Boyd's dairy farm, from which
Mr.. Ward gets portion of his supplies, and
he proposes to ship it across the Atlantic for
the use of the Boston Ideal opera company in
London. Last year it will be remembered
that Mr.. Ward transported milk
in his refrigerating cans across the United
States to San Francisco, and it was perfectly
sweet on its arrival in tho city Of the Golden
Cato. His success then induced him to try
the present experiment Of shipping across
the ocean. and he has no doubt that this
venture will be equally successful. This will
DO the first time that milk or cream has ever
been carried across the Atlantic, and if Mr..
Ward succeeds in landing it in London sweet
and pure he will have accomplished what has
heretofore been considered an impossibility.
and will make the name Of the Attorney
dairy famous in two hemispheres. A report
of the condition of the milk will be cabled
back as soon as the steamer arrives on the
other side.
