Boston  Produce  Markets 
(Continued  from  page  1010) 
decent  price  as  fast  as  the  stock  comes 
in.  I 'rices  average  lower  each  week  now 
as  the  season  advances,  hut  the  market 
is  fairly  well  balanced.  Asparagus. 
$3.50  to  $4.50;  rhubarb  50  to  35c;  spin¬ 
ach  40  to  50;  radishes  50  to  60:  peas 
$1  to  $1,25:  cauliflower  $1  to  $1.25; 
string  beans  $1.50  to  $2;  wax  beaus  $2.50 
to  $3;  cucumbers  $2.75  to  3.25  per  box; 
beets  and  turnips  30  to  35c  per  doz. 
bunches ;  carrots  55  to  50c  doz.;  toma¬ 
toes  15  to  17c  per  lit.;  squashes  75c  to 
$1  per  doz. 
POULTRY  VALUES  STEADY. 
Supply  is  light  and  demand  moderate, 
with  prices  inclined  to  sag  off  about  a 
cent  a  pound  from  last  q notations.  East¬ 
ern  fowl  arc  23c  for  choice,  live  fowl  10c, 
dressed  broilers  31  to  34  to  28  to  30  alive. 
ECUS  IX  GOOD  DEMAND. 
New  arrivals  seem  to  be  disposed  of 
promptly,  and  the  market  keeps  well 
cleaned  up.  More  of  the  eggs  are  show¬ 
ing  damage  from  heat,  and  the  price  of 
choice  stock  tends  to  advance,  nenrbys 
being  quoted  at  32c.  The  market  is 
getting  into  good  shape,  and  the  pros¬ 
pect  looks  better  for  the  stock  in  cold 
storage.  Western  prime  firsts  are  25  to 
26c. 
QUIET  BUTTER  MARKET. 
Trade  is  dull,  and  prices  no  more  than 
hold  their  own.  The  standard  quotation 
for  Northern  tub  creamery  extra  is  2014c, 
hut  some  sales  are  quoted  at  lower  Ag¬ 
in  es.  slightly.  Said  T.  11.  Ballou  &  Bo. : 
“The  outlook  is  for  ample  supplies, 
l'astnres  continue  good.  .Tune  1.  the 
shortage  as  coin  pared  with  last  year  was 
•  ight  million  pounds.  July  1  it  was  only 
one  million  pounds.  At  that  rate  we 
shall  have  more  hotter  in  August  than 
last  year.  The  market  is  dull  and  quiet.” 
BEANS  STILL  ADVANCING. 
Tin  bean  market  still  tends  upward, 
■  wing  t<>  export  demand  and  limited  sup- 
ply.  Choice,  hand  picked  pea  beans  sell 
at  $6.50  per  bushel  here.  Yellow  eves 
$5  to  $5.50. 
LIVE  STOCK  IN  GOOD  DEMAND. 
Shipments  of  all  classes  to  Brighton 
and  Watertown  have  been  moderate  and 
demand  is  satisfactory.  Even  milch  cows 
tire  si  lling  a  little  better.  Prices  range 
from  $40  to  $115,  but  $50  to  $75  covers 
most  sales  of  fair  to  good  cows  of  the 
two-can  class  or  below.  Veals  of  choice 
grade  bring  11  to  L2e  and  poorer  lots  or 
mixed  shipments  0  to  10c.  Lambs  are 
quoted  0  to  10c  ami  sheep  6  to  9c.  Hogs 
10  to  $10.40.  Oxen  and  steers  9%  to 
10(4  for  good  to  extra.  Cows  mostly 
around  7c  unless  fancy.  G.  B.  F.

[Federal  Barrel  Law 
Tlie  national  barrel  law.  in  effect  July 
1.  provides  that  the  standard  barrel  for 
fruits  aud  vegetables,  except  crauber- 
rios,  shall  contain  7,056  cubic  inches. 
Standard  dimensions  are:  Length  of 
stave.  28(4  inches;  diameter  of  heads. 
17 (4 inches :  distance  between  heads,  26 
inches;  outside  circumference  of  bulge, 
64  inches ;  thickness  of  staves  not  to  ex¬ 
ceed  four -tenths  inch.  These  dimensions 
are  not  obligatory,  however,  as  any  other 
form  containing  the  7,056  cubic  inches 
will  he  permitted. 
The  dimensions  for  cranberry  barrel 
are:  Length  of  stave,  28(4  inches;  di¬ 
ameter  of  head.  16%  inches;  outside  cir¬ 
cumference  at  bulge.  58(4  inches;  stave 
thickness  limit,  four-tenths  inch.  The  use 
nf  one-third,  one-half  and  three-quarter 
barrels  will  be  permitted,  if  branded 
thus,  but  the  word  “short”  or  the  ca¬ 
pacity  in  peeks  will  nut  comply  with  the 
law. 
Enforcement  is  in  charge  of  the  I)i- 
l'ccti  r  of  tho  Bureau  of  Standards  of  the 
Department  of  fommoree.  The  law 
states  that  ‘‘reasonable  variations  shall 
be  permitted,*'  but  just  how  much  a 
“reasonable  variation”  is  is  not  defined. 
To  give  opportunity  for  making  use  of 
the  many  short  barrels  now  in  existence 
the  authorities  are  said  to  have  decided 
that  until  October  1.  1916.  barrels  of 
three-fourths  capacity  or  more  may  he 
used  if  branded  "three-fourths  standard 
barrel”  in  letters  at  least  an  inch  high, 
on  both  heads  or  on  the  side. 
Extreme  penalties  for  violation  of  this 
law  are  $500  fine  or  six  months’  itnprisoni- 
ment. 
Gapes 
1.  Would  you  give  a  remedy  for  gapes 
in  two-weeks-old  chicks?  2.  What  is  the 
trouble  with  W.  Leghorn  hens?  Symp¬ 
toms  nrp.  Pale  comb,  no  appetite  and 
lost  weight,  very  droopy.  H.  L.  0. 
1.  Remove  the  affected  chicks  from  the 
flock  in  order  that  they  may  not  spread 
the  gapes  by  coughing  up  or  passing  the 
worms,  their  eggs  or  embryos,  for  others 
to  swallow.  If  only  one  or  two  small 
chicks  are  affected,  it  would  be  best  to 
kill  and  burn  them  and  avoid  the  risk 
of  indefinitely  continuing  the  trouble  by 
infecting  the  ground.  As  treatment,  a 
loop  of  horse  hair  nr  the  knotted  end  <>f 
two  straight  horse  hairs  placed  side  by 
side  and  tied  in  a  knot  at  one  end  or  the 
tip  of  a  small  feather  moistened  in  tur¬ 
pentine  may  be  very  carefully  inserted 
into  tho  wind  pipe  of  the  chick,  turned 
and  withdrawn.  This  should  bring  one 
or  more  gape  worms  with  it  and  loosen 
Others  so  that  they  may  be  coughed  up. 
There  are  likely  to  be  several  worms  in 
the  windpipe  of  any  affected  chick.  Any 
worms  expelled  should  be  destroyed  in 
order  that  the  ground  may  not  become 
infected  aud  continue  the  disease  from 
year  to  year. 
2.  The  symptoms  that  you  describe 
characterize  any  wasting  disease  of  fowls 
and  no  diagnosis  can  be  made  from  them 
alone.  m.  b.  d. 
Determining  Sex  of  Goslings 
Could  you  tell  me  how  to  distinguish 
the  little  gander  from  the  goose?  D. 
Elizabeth,  N.  J. 
It  is  impossible  to  distinguish  the  sex 
uf  young  goslings.  In  the  case  of  Emden 
and  Toulouse  geese  it  is  often  impossible 
to  tell  the  sex  before  the  breeding  season. 
As  a  rule  the  garnlem  are  a  little  larger 
in  head  and  body  and  have  a  more  mascu¬ 
line  appearance.  Mistakes  are  often  made 
that,  are  not  discovered  till  the  following 
breeding  season.  In  the  case  of  African 
and  the  two  Chinese  varieties  it  is  usual¬ 
ly  much  easier.  Often  the  sex  can  be  de¬ 
termined  before  maturity.  The  neck  of 
the  gander  is  longer,  the  body  is  larger, 
I  here  is  more  strutting,  and  as  they  ma¬ 
ture  the  voices  of  the  two  sexes  become  so 
different  as  to  afford  an  easy  means  of 
distinguishing  them.  \v.  H.  ri. 
Diner:  "For  a  Spring  chicken  this  is 
pretty  tough.”  Waiter :  "Well,  sir,  you 
know  we’ve  had  a  pretty  tough  Spring.”
