The  Boston  Public  Market 
Machinery  left  in  the  barn¬ 
yard  will  rust  itself  to  pieces 
in  a  year.  Cows  kept  in  a 
ramshackle  stable  during  the 
winter  and  fed  on  half- 
spoiled  silage  will  not  give 
much  milk.  Protect  your 
machinery — keep  your  stock 
in  a  well-built  stable — feed 
them  on  sweet,  juicy  silage 
from  a  well-built  silo — and 
big  profits  are  bound  to  re¬ 
sult. 
Saturday  Buying. — The  shipper  who  eerned 
wonders  what  became  of  that  unsat  isfac-  little 
tory  shipment  which  netted  him  a  most  dollar 
ridiculous  little  price,  might  get  a  hint  rnarke 
from  a  visit  to  Boston's  great  public  but  th 
street  market  on  a  Saturday  night.  Here  or  gra 
is  the  real  thing,  at  least  from  the  bar-  are  si 
gain  hunting  consumer’s  poiut  of  view,  there 
It  is  the  most  public  kind  of  an  open  bunch 
market.  There  is  ample  street  room  set  /May), 
apart,  and  everybody  may  buy  or  sell  un-  lead  i 
der  the  simplest  of  ordinary  conditions,  beets 
The  seller  needs  ouly  a  city  license,  is-  three 
sued  free  of  charge.  Then  lie  is  ready  for  there 
business,  provided  his  measures  and  small 
scales  pass  muster.  As  for  the  buyer,  all  10  to 
he  need  do  is  to  stroll  along  that  way  any  straigl 
time  before  midnight  with  a  market  has-  35  cei 
ket  on  his  arm  and  money  in  his  pocket,  there 
It  is  a  consumers’  and  peddlers’  market,  for  It 
The  cost  of  the  middleman's  service  is  re-  here  • 
duced  to  lowest  terms,  and  the  consumer’s  quart, 
bargains  are  at  his  expense  and  that  of  same  l 
the  shipper.  The  city  contributes,  too,  cents, 
with  its  free  space,  lighting  and  super-  cents 
vision.  It  is  not  a  producers’  market,  cents: 
however.  He  is  not  there,  and  nobody  here,  5 
cares  what  the  low  prices  mean  to  the  there 
grower.  There  is  surely  pleuty  of  com-  and  si 
petition,  but  it  is  all  among  professional  These 
peddlers.  Farmers  are  not  in  the  habit  both  ii 
of  driving  to  market  Saturday  night,  and,  ()J 
if  they  wore,  they  would  hardly  he  at-  pXI)]„j 
traeted  by  the  low  prices  ruling  at  this  ‘ . 
cheapest  of  cheap  centres  of  food  supply.  r  ( 
"Wit  ERIC  Srn'ATKD. — The  location,  as  after 
for  many  years  past,  is  in  the  several  in  the 
streets  just  north  of  the  regular  produce  is  per 
market  district.  Blackstone  Street  north  to  was  si 
Hanover  Street  is  the  main  highway  of  at  $1 
the  cheap  sales,  but  there  is  plenty  of  which 
business  doing  on  the  several  shorter  der  w 
connecting  streets,  so  that  one  may  walk  charge 
at  least  half  a  mile  along  rows  and  groups  week 
of  peddlers’  wagons  and  push  carts,  he-  chuck! 
sides  almost  continuous  lines  of  sidewalk  turnip 
stands.  Many  of  the  regular  all-tlie  week  above 
dealers,  too,  try  to  get  a  share  of  the  some 
small  change  by  moving  a  line  of  cheap  same 
provisions  outside  their  stores  on  window  parsni 
extension  benches.  The  market  streets  and  s 
are  full  of  buyers  up  to  midnight.  The  been  i 
bulk  of  the  city’s  foreign  population  lives  and  hi 
close  by,  and  the  majority  or  the  peddlers  farmej 
are  foreigners,  too,  some  hardly  knowing  once  ] 
I'lnglish  enough  to  handle  their  trade  in  stuff, 
that  language.  Many  of  the  push  cart  raised 
men  are  Italians  and  Greeks.  They  load  crop  < 
up  with  whatever  they  can  buy  cheap  in  enougl 
the  wholesale  districts.  Their  trading  home 
gives  an  outlet  for  a  great  deal  of  stuff  try  m 
otherwise  unsalable  for  one  reason  or  an-  so  Ida 
other.  They  trundle  over  to  the  street  good  i 
market  and  meet  the  consumers,  droves  of  they  t 
them,  ready  to  buy  anything  at  a  price.  It  is 
B arc atx  Buyers. — Many  of  the  buy-  ,ln],,v 
ers  are  women,  and  capable  traders  they  ^  * 
are,  moving  from  one  sidewalk  stand  to  ] 
another,  or  from  pushcart  to  wagon,  until  s.n  rj 
they  find  what  they  want.  If  the  price  .1nvxvi 
fails  to  suit,  they  make  no  hones  of  offer-  ‘  * 
iug  less,  aud  they  delight  in  making  the  Poc 
dealer  throw  in  a  hunch  of  radishes  extra,  the  fa 
or  a  handful  of  greens,  or  a  few  onions,  folks 
with  their  purchase  of  “rosta  bif"  at  10  they  1 
cents  a  pound.  .Sometimes  it  is  a  family  poor  : 
group  that  buys,  and  they  all  seem  to  en-  for  a 
joy  the  bargaining  with  plenty  of  chatter  for  a 
aud  argument.  Then  father,  mother  and  for  tv 
the  kids  go  home  loaded  with  bundles,  broke: 
Not  all  the  buyers  are  what  would  he  buy  a 
termed  poor  folks.  Quite  a  number  of  pound 
middle-class  families  are  not  ashamed  to  invest 
cut  down  the  heavy  cost  of  supplying  the  a  pec 
dinner  table,  and  they  carry  home  full  in  a  i 
market  baskets.  .  which 
“Where  do  the  pedd.-rs  get  all  this  i,roth 
cheap  stuff?’’  was  asked  of  a  nearby  pro-  makir 
vision  dealer,  may  1 
“Most  of  it  is  fairly  good.’  he  replied.  tjie  f8 
“A  man  who  was  good  and  hungry  would  fjie  l1t 
be  glad  to  got  any  of  it.  The  peddlers 
can  sell  at  small  profit  because  they  have  ones 
no  expenses;  nothing  to  pay  for  rent,  light  eonsu 
or  labor,  and  their  license  is  free.  They  11)fly  i

is  something  cheap  almost  all  the  time. 
Sometimes,  maybe,  there  is  ft  side  of  beef

up  by  Friday  night'.  Some  of  it  is  No.  li

tliin,  torn,  or  too  long  out  of  storage; 
vegetables  too  small,  broken,  or  not.  fresh  J
