MILK DISTRIBUTION

In some towns of but q few thou
sand population, twenty or thirty milk
dealers, each doing q little business,
are trotting up and down the streets
covering each others tracks. The TO-
tai effort is greater than is necessary.
The high price of milk has been
one of the problems Of the war period.
It has restricted the amount consumed.
Infants have suffered from the lack Of
supplies, which parents could not af-
ford. Many milk prOdlscerS have sold
their herds. They faim that At the
high prices of labor and feed they
were not making anything.
It is interesting to see producers
moving to see if the cost Of distribu-
ton can not be reduced. A report
from one such effort is published COW
ering the action of producers in sever
al of the towns in Schenectady cOun-
ty, New York.
Distribution in the city Of Amster-
dam, N. Y, has been in the hands Of
20 men, at an average expense Tor
each of about $4,000 q year. The pro-
ducers figure that 10 men, by cutting
out all interlOcling and duplicating
routes, and sending one man to cover
a whole street, could distribute that
milk. They believe they. can get q
higher price for the milk, and get it to
the consumer for less money. They
have been getting only IN cents a
quart for the milk. There are many
places where the producers only get
as much as that, while the consumer
using the product has to pay double
that figure.
Such experiments will be watched
with interest. II carried Out in q 'bns-
mess like way; they should feduGendis-

and zinc mining district was again dis
cussed before the Tri-State mine OPP
orators at their noon lunch at Picher

presented by Rev. John Garretson,
who went to Picher with c. M. Sarchet

srARTING IN SHEEP

During the past Ave years, sheep
have been money-makers for farmers
who have handled them right. But,
the man who knows nothing about
sheep, often starts on too large q
scale, and becomes discouraged be-
cause his experience costs TO much.
Experienced men agree that the best
way to 60 into sheep raising Is to
start with q few ewes, and learn the
business as the flock increases. This
way may seem slow. But, / recall the
experience Of q boy near McCune
named Ralph Carnes. Six years ago
Ralph traded a pet wether which he
had raised, for a bred eve. He now
has a flock of thirty-fve, (sixeen Of
them ere spring lambs). Most Of these
are the descendants Of the eve h'
started with six years ago. By trad
ing the wethers for ewes, 1t is easy
to increase a flock as rapidly as thii
one increased.
Last year, one eve, at McCune
sheared six dollars worth Of wool, anC
raised two lambs. The experienced
sheep raiser decides how many sheeI
she, can take care, Of well, and keeps
lhis flock near that number. How

KANSAS BOYS IN

When the men of the Eighty-ninth
division get home, they will be all
logged out in completely new outfits.
Shoes, breeches, tunics, and in fact,
everything is issued to them while in
the debarkation camps here. The old,
war-worn hobnailed boots, the torn or
dirty uniforms, which were compan-
ions of hard days in the Argonne and
in Germany will all be turned in for
cleaning and repair.
In issuing the new clothing, enough
equipment of assorted sizes for the
entire organization is sent up to one
