WOULD POOL MILK ROUTES
Burlington Man Advocates Receiving
Station and Less Teams.

Burlington Man Advocates Receiving
Station and Less Teams.
III. w. Slocum of Burlington, com.
menting on the increased price of
milk, proposes a city milk receiving
station and municipal distribution
therefrom.
His plan, as published in the Bur-
lington News, is as follows:
The increased cost of milk, beg to
submit a suggestion which believe
would reduce the cost of milk to the
consumer and at the same time en-
able the milk man TO receive just
profit.
Every householder in the city must
have noticed that every day from the
early hours of the morning until well
into the forenoon, large number Of
different milk wagons pass his door.
Now my suggestion is that the city
authorities establish receiving sta
ton for milk, and wagon for its dis
tribution. All of the milk men could
leave at this station list of their
customers and deliver here each morn
ing milk TO supply the needs of this
list The milk should be delivered
bottled and the caps bear the name of
the owner. All of the milk for given
section OF the city could then be plac-
ed in one wagon and delivered, each
brand according to the lists. ii any
customer desired to change TO anoth-
err dealer he should signify this de-
sire by a signed statement addressed
to the milk station.
This plan would enable a number
Of men and horses to attend to the
very necessary work of the farms in
stead Of roaming around the streets
half of the day. Milk would be de-
livered ice cold in model wagons. OF
course each dealer would be charged
the actual cost of making his deliv-
cries. The elimination of so much
duplication would lessen this expense
enough to make it possible to reduce
the cost of milk TO the consumer
without lessening the profits of the
dealer. This saving would practically
force any milk dealers who were UNI
willing to cooperate with the city
milk station to either do so or deliv-
er milk at loss. Milk left over could
be kept ice cold at the station and re-
turned to the dealers the following
morning.
would like to see the mayor APP
point committee TO work out a plan
for this purpose to be submitted to
the board of aldermen. There is no
way by which needless and sinful
waste can be as effectively eliminated
as by carefully planned cooperation
and surely now is the time to actual
ly do something in that direction.

To Preserve Fruit Without

TRUlT for use in pie or salads or

canned without the use of any
sugar at all, according to the canning
specialists of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. They therefore
advise those who, because of the high
price of sugar. have been thinking OF
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar sirup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may DO

KICK OF THE MULE.
1t Is Not Treachery, but Fear, That
Moves the Springs.

Handled intelligently, a mule is a
most willing worker, but there are "A
few unwritten laws that cannot be
transgressod with impunity. A mule
Will seldom make more than two at
tcmpts to move load. On the first
strain he will throw his whole force
into the collar. and mule can pull so
per cent more in proportion to his
weight than q horse. Science is dumb
at the question whence comes that
latent force which neither horse nor
ass possesses.
After short rest the mule will make
a second attempt, but this is seldom as
sustained as the first. II the load still
refuses to move, the team might as
well be unhitched At times the mules
will not even exert enough force on a
third attempt to move en empty wagon.
Mules are charged with treachery
only by those who have never given
an intensive study to their habits.
Mules defend themselves from that

become accustomed to being harnessed
and embarrassed while colts, and 1t
is traditional that a mule never kicks
while being saddlcd or hauessed. The
beast knows what That means.
But il is also'traditonal that u mule
sleeps with one eye open. He is al
ways alert to what is going on about
him. 1t is never safe to stoop down
suddenly to pick something up behind
or at the side Of mule. That is to
him an unexplained action. He can
not fathOm the intent back Of It, and
he generally lets fly with one or both
heels by way of protest.
A person who has harnessed and I'm
harneSsed a mule for months may for
get himself and stoop for something
at the animals heels. Then the mule,
docile for so many days. begins TO kick,
When the luckless driver regains his
senses he imagines the mule had been
waiting craftily all those weeks just
to get Il good opportunity to kick him.
