Butter Prices Hold Strong.
July 16 to 21
Butter prices have been showing
a stronger tone throughout the
United States at a time when nor­
mally the trend is still downward.
This condition results from a com­
bination of four outstanding fac­
tors; namely, low milk production
per cow. a large proportion of dry
cows, less than average storage re­
serves, and relatively strong de­
mand.
Due to the very poor condition of
pastures over a large area, the short
age of hay and relatively high feed
costs, milk production per cow on
June 1 was lower than on that date
in any recent year. It is also to be
noticed that an unusually low pro­
portion of the milk cows on farms
are actually being milked, and.
therefore, the output of milk is
small in relation to the heavy cow
population. There has been some
liquidation of milk cows in the more
severe drought areas but this has
not yet reached large proportions.
Total milk production on June 1 ap­
pears to have been 5 to 6 per cent
below production on that date last
year.
United States storage holdings of
butter on June 1 totaled 27,110,000
pounds, or about 8 million pounds
less than on June 1, 1933, and 8.5
million pounds less than the June 1
average of 1929-1933. Pacific Coast
holdings were about 1.8 million
pounds greater than they were a
year previous. The rate at which
butter has moved Into storage in the
35 large cities recently has been but
little over half the into-storage
movement of a year ago.
With butter stocks less than aver­
age at the present time, production
conditions unfavorable in the North
Central State, and consumer expen­
diture for butter larger this spring
than a year ago, the statistical sit­
uation seems favorable.

Metallic Silver Helps
Purify Drinking Water
Metallic silver in an Ionic condition
appears to exercise s very effective
bactericidal action on the germs which
are usually present in drinking water,
say Scientific American.
Various
means of introducing silver ions Into
water are described in Chemical Age.
An electrical method Involves the pas­
sage of the water between silver elec­
trodes through which a very small cur­
rent is continuously passing. By this
method an effective number of silver
ions sre introduced Into the water
with the aid of a three to five milliam­
pere current.
One of the earlier methods of puri­
fication was based upon the ability of
water to take up silver by merely al-
lowing it to trickle over glass beads
coated with a very thin layer of the
metal. A suitable small-scale plant
consists of a 25-quart stoneware jar
filled with a quantity of silver-coated
glass beads which reduces the capacity
to 18 quarts. The water is passed into
the Jar via a tube filled with silver-
coated quartz fibers, and a velocity of
flow of half to one quart per minute
suffices for thorough Infection.
A curious feature of this catadyne
process can itself he used as a steri Ha­
Ing agent for mineral water bottles
and the like. It appears that on al­
lowing such silver-charged water to
stand in a glass bottle for several
hours, a proportion of the tonic silver
becomes transferred to the walls of
the bottle and serves to sterilise any
liquid subsequently poured Into it
Girls in Teens Lead Sex
in the Habit of Blushing
Girls of high school and college age
blush more than older women, accord­
ing to psychologists, says the Chicago
American. Thousands of question­
naires filled out by girls and women
of all* ages were summarized as fol­
lows :
L Blushing Is most common among
girls between thirteen and seventeen
years of age, with 61 per cent admit­
ting that they blush frequently; it is
least common among married women
over fifty, with only 21 per cent ad­
mitting that they are habitual blushers.
2. Unmarried women are 35 per
cent more apt to blush than married
women. The greatest difference In
blushing habits between married and
single women is between the ages of
twenty to twenty-five. During these
years blushing Is 50 per cent more
common among unmarried than among
married women.
3. Both married and unmarried
women show a distinct tendency to
stop blushing as they grow older.
4. Divorced women blush much
more frequently than married women
who are still living with their hus­
bands.
5. Widows blush less than divorcees,
but more than married women.

Not Familiar With Wood
Wood is one of man's oldest and
most useful materials for an almost
unlimited number of purposes. Man's
familiarity with It has very often bred.
It not contempt, at least carelessness
in Its use, which lias resulted in unsat-
isfactory service attributable not to
the Inherent qualities of the wood
itself, but rather to its improper
handling. One serious mistake is to
neglect the moisture content of wood,
says a bulletin of the Canadian depart­
ment of the interior. In common with
all other vegetable products, wood con­
tains moisture. The amount so con-
tained Is usually expressed as a per-
centage of the bone-dry weight of ths
wood. Thus “25 per cent M. C." In­
dicates that the weight of water pres­
ent Is one-quarter of the weight of the
absolutely dry wood. The importance
of the moisture lies In the fact that
the dimensions of a block of wood
are. within detinite limits, dependent
upon It.
