NOT EASY TO KILL SOLDIER

Nothing caused the newspaper
reader during the war greater sur
prise than the colossal expenditure
of ammunition.
1t was agreed that in former
wars it took a mans weight in bull
lets to kill him. In other words,
that for every thousand rifle bullets
fired away one man was killed.
In the late war, if all metal ex-
pended in ammunition were reduced
to rife bullets no fewer than So
600 would be required to kill man.
OF course, the calculation is render
ed difficult by the fact that millions
of tons of metal were expended in
putting up barrages and the like,
and in intensive commandments OF
the enemy's positions, but it is safe
to say that for every man killed in
the war about three tons of metal
were expended. '~se
Such a calculation is staggering
and yet comforting, for if the old
average had held good, all the ar
mics engaged in the war, vast
though they were, would have beer
annihilated to the last man.

ICING MILK IN WAGONS SAVES
CUSTOMERS AND MONEY

During the hot summer months OF
the last twenty years, the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station has
found that icing milk in it's delivery
wagons has been helpful in retain
ing customers and saving money
that would be lost otherwise through
the souring of milk, according to j.
w. Nutter, superintendent of the
dairy farm. A number of dairymen
annually lose many customers and
considerable money by failing to OBJ
serves this practice, he said.
''The total time spent in deliver
ing milk on the average retail route
varies from three to eight hours.
Milk that is on the road without ice
this length of time in the air tenn
peratures that will prevail from now
on cannot be expected to keep in
good condition. Even where deliver
les are made during the cool early
morning hours, the temperature of
uniced milk will rise considerably
before it reaches the customer, in
view of the fact that after milk has
been on the drivers wagon for three
or four hours it often stands on the
doorstep for an additional two
hours or more.
"The quantity of ice required for
a load of milk costs only few cents
while a single bottle of sour milk
not only will result in loss of the
milk and usually a special delivery,
but also may cause the loss of one
or more customers. Then. too, if a
milk inspector should take a sample
from a bottle of milk that has been
long uniced on the wagon, his report
will be unfavorable.
when the ordinary open-bottom
cases are used and when ice is cost
ly, the top row of cases only need
be iced as the cold air will circulate
through the cases below. While
this will tend to make the floor Of
the wagon sloppy, it will not be a
serious handicap as the floor can be
flushed out each day on the return
from the route. A few holes bored
in the floor of the wagon will allow
the melted ice to run through and
be convenience when the floor is
washed. These holes can be plugged
in the winter time"
