The large fleet Of sloops and schooners
that piled between Curacao and the en-

coast, as well as various points on the
Orinoco river, had to be laid up, and ever
since has been doing nothing.

What New York Uses.
For instance to supply New York city with
milk for a single day requires the products OF
forty thousand dairy farms and eight hundred
creamercs, the labor Of vast army OF people
and the use of a host of appliances There are
the veterinarians who select the healthy cat
tie; the chemists. who test the raw product:
the stablemen and mixers. the special milk
trains carrying at high speed the products OF
these farms from every direction to the me-
tropolis. the wagons and men that deliver the
milk and the creameries and dairies where sce-
cial machinery is used to COOL sterilze or pas
teur:ze, bottle and prepare it for final delivery
at the door of the consumer. Why. there is one
dairy company in New York that alone uses
milk supply. And yet. whatever precautions may
be taken on the farm. at the creameries ana
dairies and in the bottling and preparing Of the
milk may all be set at naught after the milk
