BURY THE MILK
A suggestion about how to keep milk cool is contained in this paragraph forwarded to “The Mail”:— “My husband and I are both out at work all day, and last year we had a lot of trouble keeping our daily ration of milk fresh. It stood on the step all day and was often almost sour by the time we arrived home. “The early spell of hot weather this year made us desperate and, as always, necessity became the mother of invention. “My husband found a large, deep, round tin with a lid, gave it several coats of paint, and made two or three ventilations holes in the bottom. He then sunk it right to the brim in earth by the front doorstep. “The milkman puts the milk bottle in this in the morning, shuts the lid on it—and when we retrieve it in the evening, it is icy cold and fresh. Even the milkman thinks it is a good idea!”
