New York. July 2.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review this
afternoon is as follows:
1t is doubtful if there has been a
more pronounced display of buying
power in the stock market since the
late bull movement came to an end
than there was in today's session.
Trading was in truth both broad and
animated, and price advances were in
all cases substantial, and in some cases
several points. Evidently the steels
started the ball rolling; what with in
dications Of imminent buying for recon
struction purposes in France and gen
eral and widespread signs of revival in
the industry, this leadership was so
easily assumed and so promptly fol-
lowed, first by the entire industrial list
and later by the rails, the suggestion
was strong that the bull market was
merely sleeping and not dead. Indeed
ever since the positive bull position was
abandoned some three weeks ago resist
ance to pressure has been a distinguish
ing characteristic of the trading
1t is not to be ignored that a large
short interest has of late been created,
and while it was not clear that short
covering played any great part in the
advance, the fact that such a cushion
| lies under the list constitutes a ready
buoyancy on occasion.
| The turn of the midyear having come
and gone without undue disturbance re-
sulting from tight money, no doubt much
of the buying reflected relief that the

money rates. Call loans renewed at s
and 8 per cent for mixed and industrial
collateral, respectively, but the rate
quickly dropped to 6 and 612 per cent
at midday. There was no great demand
for either call or time funds. If plans
for industrial and international financ- =
ing. crop moving count for anything,
as, of course, they do most assuredly
any tightening in the supply of money
will at best be temporary. June char
terings, estimated at the heaviest since
1901, illustrate another phase of money
consumption.

RICH WITH CHARM OF AGE
Old Deerfield, In Massachusetts, One
OF the Most Interesting of New
England Towns.

Descendants of the first families will
tell you In all earnestness that the
newest house in Old Deerfield is at
least one hundred and twenty-five
years old. AS matter of fact. this is
not true statement, but it cannot be
called "a lie" on the part of the in
formant, who is a Puritanical New
EngIander.
The difference Is all In the point of
view. For him or for her. the half
dozen homes and the one hotel that
have been built in the last decade do
not exist. He does not see them, but
looks right through and sees the land
scape as IT was before the blot APP
peared.
Old DeerffeId is little changed since
the Indians traiIed through Massa-
cfusetts ON their way from Albany to
Boston. Relics OF many battle be-
tween the white man and his red
skinned foe are to be seen in the little

along Main street and ON the Albany
post road commemorate the many
bioody struggles to push the new from

days.
Trees that We're old when Columbus

Stertitzinq Dairy Utensils an lmpor-
tant Factor In Keeping MIX Sweet.
by steam. Every farmer who can af-
ford 1t should possess a steam boiler
and steriIizer. If he feels that this
is too great an expense there are 9TH
err sterillzers on the market, cheap but
efficient, which will render milk uten-
sils sterile. A satisfactory home
made sterllizer has been developed by
the United States department of agri-
culture, and can be made at cost of
about $40. Complete directions for
making 1t may be obtained by address
Ing the department, at Washington.
Such important factors as clean
udder, milking with clean hands, keep
Ing the stables clean, and the use of
small-top pals will lower the bacterial
count, and should be carefully observ-
ed by all milk producers.
In cooling milk dairymen should use
facilities already existing, such as cold
water In wells and springs, When
milk Is drawn from a COW 1t has
temperature of about 50 degrees F..
In the North, well and spring water
generally varies In temperature from
so to 60 degrees f. BY the use of
surface coolers and tank of cold run
ming water. milk can quickly be cooled
and held within two to four degrees
of the water.
During warm weather 1t may be nee
essary to ship or deliver milk twice
day. This would have a tendency
to check spoilage, especially of eve
ming milk, which Is usually more than
twelve hours old when shipped. Milk
dealers can do much TO prevent spoil
age by pasteurlzig the milk. Pasteuri-
cation not only kills disease bacteria
but reduces count. and therefore de-
lays spoilage.

ment OF Agrieulture.)
Keeping milk fresh and sweet this
summer is likely to be more of a prob
lem than usual. Cold is the most Inn
portant single factor In keeping milk
sweet and Ice is usually necessary to
accomplish this. In most natural Ice
sections of the country, however, there
Is q marked scarcity of natural ice.
Heretofore, In regions where So per
cent of American milk has been pro-
Guced, natural Ice has been plentiful
and cheap, and has been the principal
means by which a perlshable food
product has been sent long distances
to market without spoilage. AS a re-
suit of the mild winter in many sec
tons little natural Ice was harvested,
and since in the North the manufac-
ture of artificial ice is confined prin-
cipally to the larger cities, 1t Is doubt
full II this product would be available
to milk producers even If the price
could be made satisfactory.
On account of the lack of ice, dairy
men will be compelled to use scrupu-
lous care in the production and hand
ling of milk and cream. 1t will be
necessary to adhere more closely than
ever to the three C's in caring for
milk-keeping 1t clean, cold, and Gov
cred.
One Of the most important factors
In reducing the bacterial count in
milk, and thus lengthen its keeping
qualities, is the sterilization of uten-
sils. Pals, strainers, separators, sur
face coolers, and shipping cans must
be cleaned and sterilized, preferably
