learned the other day that the big
milk supply companies Of the city found
it necessary to exercise a surveillance
over their drivers, but it has been al
ready reduced to an elaborate system.
An experienced and dishonest driver can
start out with fifty gallons of milk in
spected pure at the depot, and from the
supply deliver sixty-five gallons, the
fifteen gallons accruing to his own profit,
and being secured by judicious watering
at various points on the route. Before the
discovery OF this practice some of the
drivers had regular run of customers
Of whom their employers knew nothing.
The companies inspectors now go about
the city at random, and. following a de-
livery Of milk, a. soon as the driver is
gone subject it to an inspection with the
lactometer. If it has been watered that
driver is discharged, and, by an agree
ment with the other dairy companies, he
cannot enter the employ of any of them.

THE only proper way to kill canvas

YOU will have lots Of sport, and will not
hurt the ducks. You will blaze away at
them as they fly toward you, which is
precisely what l, as lover of the species,
would best like you to do. unless you are
generous and are disposed to divide your
bag So long as you shoot them in this
way only a rare accident will enable you
to do any harm to the beautiful crea-
lures. They wear breastplate of feath-
ers which is practically impervious to
shot II you are sportsman you will
let them fiy over, and shoot them as they
recede.
1.-THE fact that the ducks fly high and
are very swift of wing renders it diff
cult to kill them on the wing at all, and
as very few men are really good shots,
resort is had by the majority to such
blind shooting as is permitted. Bat
teries are, Of course, forbidden, and SC
are sneak boxes and the like. But it is
permitted to the half skilled sportsmen
to build blinds OF reeds along the shore
and to shoot from behind them when the
ducks approach within range. In this
sort Of shooting very little harm would
be done but for the fact that the canvas,
back is beset with a curiosity SURPRISING

Following SUIT.

Since GAINESVILLE has extended her
city limits Springfield is thinking of
doing the same thing. The Herald
thinks that it should be done by all
means as it would benefit the town
wonderfully. This is where the Her.
aid is right, and it should not let up
on the matter until it is accom-
plished.
Commenting on the good results
that will surely follow, the Herald
says:
People want live town; and the
best showing we can make should be
done. 1t would encourage immigra-
ton and from the thousands that are
annually flocking to the South from
less favorable climates, Springfield
and Robertson county would get its
