Since last spring men have been clearing a 3,000 foot slope which has a vertical rise of 658 feet. The tramway is known as the "Skimobile," and consists of 60 individual streamlined cars with pneumatic tires that are clamped at uniform intervals to a steel cable running under a wooden platform. There are several disembarking stations on the way to the summit, serving shorter runs...

This, plus the sanitary necessity of supervising milk distribution, has long made some sort of co-operation inevitable between producer and distributor. It usually takes the form of so-called "milksheds" developed around urban centres...
