There are very few wild animals on these islands although there were once a number of wild foxes. The foxes which form the basis of the Aleutian industry were generally imported

Method for preserving sweet cream indefinitely discovered by Government expert. Washington, D.C., Jan. 26. Dairymen the world over will benefit from a method discovered by Owen E. Williams, of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U.S. Department of Agriculture, whereby sweet cream can be preserved indefinitely in sodium chloride, common table salt. To 100 pounds of cream testing 40 per cent butterfat, 7 pounds of salt are added. When the cream is to be delivered once a week from the farm to the creamery, enough salt is placed in the cream jar at the beginning of the week to preserve the week's supply. As more cream is added after each milking, it must be carefully mixed with the salt solution already in the jar. The salt prevents souring and acts as an anti-freeze. To remove the salt, Williams dilutes the thick cream with fresh skim milk and runs the mixture through an ordinary cream separator. The cream may then be used as coffee cream or it may be used in the manufacture of sweet cream butter or in the manufacture of ice cream. 1. Mr. Williams weighs out 7 pounds of sodium chloride - common table salt - which is sufficient to preserve 100 pounds of 40 per cent cream, 1/26/39

Production of butylene glycol. A department scientist checks the results of experimental fermentations of corn to produce butylene glycol at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This research led to the development of a semi-commercial scale of a fermentation process for converting corn into butylene glycol, a chemical that can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various purposes. Studies are now underway to devise a practical method for turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The work has already been done on a laboratory scale

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. The first step in the manufacture of high-altitude-flying shatterproof oxygen cylinders in the metal department of a large rubber factory is the forming or stamping of the shell. Stainless steel sheets are blanked or cut into discs(left foreground). Before stamping, these discs are drawn through rolls where a drawing compound is added to both sides to facilitate the forming of the shell. The 750-ton toggle press, shown above, forms a half cylinder in one powerful stroke. Once the half cylinder is formed, it is trimmed and the value-fitting hole is punched into the spherical dome. A cleaning operation later removes the drawing compound. The cylinder halves are now ready for the various welding operations. Firestone, Akron, Ohio
