As the milk is sold in large bottles or cartons round the clock in super-markets these days, the need for a milkman has become less and less — almost nil in large cities.
Until quite recently, we used to get milk delivered to our door-steps every morning by honest and punctual milkmen.
Though the dairy farms use large modern machines to milk, preserve, pack and transport, the need for milkmen and milkmaids still exists at one point or the other, at least to operate the machines!
