Says the boss: 'Work from five to nine in the morning to get a train load of sugar off, and I'll pay every man cash down for the week and a day extra. They say: 'Hooray for the boss! It goes.

I got the figures from a man who talks too much, who got 'em from the bookkeeper.
Sometimes he drives his cows before him and milks them at his customer's door. This is the favorite method, because the milk is then sure to be sweet.
