Siberian Milk.

The methods of Siberian milkmen are unique. The people buy their milk frozen, and for convenience it is allowed to freeze about a stick, which comes as a handle to carry it by. The milkman leaves one chunk, or perhaps two, as the case may be, at the houses of his custoier& The children, instead of crying Tor a drink of milk, cry for a bite of milk. The people there in the winter time do not day, “Be careful not to spill the milk,” but “Be careful not to break the milk.” Broken milk is better than spilled milk, though, because there is an opportunity to save the pieces.
