dents Of the milk business l. the so
called bottle loss" The depart
ment's study indicates that for the
companies covered in Columbus this
item ranges from one-tenth TO two
tenths of a cent per quart.
Great difficulty was experienced In
getting any satisfactory information
concerning the shrinkage which takes
place In the handling and delivery Of
milk. but according to the best data
available this item amounts Ia be
tween % per cent and 80 per cent Of
the total volume Of milk.
Columbus i city of 237 ,03l pOpula-
tion. which L. reported to consume
about 27,U0.Go0 quarts Of milk per an
mum. This milk is supplied by over
1000 producers, froml Is different coun-
ties, and Is transported To Columbus
from territory having a radius Of
- miles. Conditions appear to bee
fairly representative of many Middle
Western cities.
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 10, an, 900
quarts Of milk and cream In 1920 or
approximately CO per cent Of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged In size from very small one
wagon concern up TO the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view of the farm
" and the consumer. the important
question Is, What does II cost to han
die the milk from the farm 10 the
consumer The cost of raw milk was
between 63 per cent and 10 per cent
Of the total cost of the milk as II
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price OF Grade A milk In Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents 10
las cents per quart, though during
1870 the Two small dealers sold their
milk. which comes from tuberculln-
tested COWS. for IL cents per quart.
At the same time the wholesale price
Of milk ranged from IL cents to l2h
cents.
The average number of customers
per route In 1920 ranged from lH, to
2f7, and the number OF quarts per
wagon ranged from rs 10 37S, the
average being 262 Il Is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
wagOnlOad.

Many families during the war
formed the habit Of having two or
three fish DAYS a week and some "
them have kept II up ever since. Many
others, II they tried IL, would find that
the use of more fish adds pleasant
variety 10 the meals.
America has aS good fish supply a.
any country in the world. say food spc.
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but Americans
.at less fish than the people of many
other countries. For instance. In Eng
and an average Of IS pounds of fish
yearly for each person IL eaten, while
here the average is only Is pounds.
All told, there are said to be about
100 kinds of edible fish available In
he United States. hut most persons
are familiar with not more than U
dozen. II Is "A good plan to try new
kinds of fish whenever there Is an op-
por;unity and. il they are not avail
able In the local market. to suggest to
he fShman that he add them To his
supply. Also. if fresh fish cannot be
obtained. many kinds Of salt, smoked
and canned fish can be shipped any
where M any season of the year.
How to Select a Fresh Fish.
Whenever possible. It is best to go to
the market and select fish. A fresh
fish has full. bright eyes, bright red
gills, firm flesh and fresh Odor. The
f.Sh along the backbone should be eN-
arhincd with special care. because that
Is where fish spoils first.
Frozen fish should be bought In that
condition and thaved In II cod place

MILK DELIVERED TO CITIES
Figures Announced BY Department OF
Agriculture on Total Cost to
Ultimate Consumer.

prepared by the United States Derart-
ment OF Agriculture
The total cost of milk delivered 10
the consumers door In Columbus, o.,
during the first six months of 1870,
ranged from lib cents up to 1913 cents
per quart, IL the costs of one company
which does business in certified"
milk are omitted, according 10 the fig
ures recently announced by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
cost Of the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents TO 10 cents
per quart. The total cost of OPP
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurizing and bottllng of the milk.
ranged from ! cent to Ia cents per
quart, and the cost of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from l6l cents to 80 cents per
quart.
The item Of administrative expense
varies widely. being as low as two
tenths of cent per quart for one
small company and as high as cent
per quart for large concern.
Two of the seven companies covered
were small concerns which produced
their own milk supply. The cost OF
producing the milk for these com.
panies in 1920 was 80 cents per quart
which is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
