134 MARKET DAIRYING 
product and the sale has increased enormously during 
the past few years. It is a product that should be 
supplied by all milk dealers, large and small. There is 
no drink which, by reason of its food and tonic value, 
relative cheapness and general wholesomeness, is so much 
entitled to become the leading of all beverages. It is 
up to the milk dealers to make this the national drink 
for all classes, rich and poor. 
Skimmilk-Buttermilk. Well made skimmilk-but- 
termilk is very palatable and quite as wholesome as 
cultured milk; indeed in a sense it is cultured milk, but 
this term should not be applied to fat-free milk. This 
product is especially commendable because of its cheap- 
ness. It answers all purposes of buttermilk and, when 
made right, is superior in quality. 
Reduced Delivery Expenses. Most of the milk 
dealers are running one-horse delivery wagons, and the 
sooner the milk dealer can add enough to his wares 
to run a two-horse delivery, just so soon will he be 
able to reduce the cost of delivery. Labor is expensive 
these days, and the labor with a two-horse wagon is 
no greater than that with the one-horse wagon. The 
milk dealer ought to be able to carry enough load on 
his route to justify the use of two horses to each wagon. 
The additional side lines suggested would soon double 
the milk dealer’s load and would enable him to use 
two horses instead of one. If these additional lines 
would do nothing more than enable every driver to 
drive two horses and a whole load instead of one horse 
and half a load, the undertaking would be justified.
