MARKET NOTES 
[.IVK POULTRY DEMAND.—The next 
Hebrew linliclay season will be the Pass- 
over. lasting a week, commeneing April 22. 
Hcav.v fowls, fat geese and ducks are usu¬ 
ally in demand for this celebration, and 
anything intended for this trade should 
be on hand at least four or five days in 
advance, as dealers are then stocking up, 
and anything left over will not sell to as 
good advantage. 
EXPERII-TNCK wanted.—W e wish to 
hear from hundreds who have shipped 
goods to commission men in New York or 
otiier places. Give the names of those who 
have used you well, and whom you con- 
siiicr honest and capable salesmen, with 
any particulars as to special cases, and 
also any facts as to dealings with the 
other kind. Tlic information will be kept 
on file for the benefit of inquirers, the 
name of the writer being withheld. In 
this way we can be of service to other 
shippers, help to weed out the scalawags, 
and turn additional business toward those 
who know how to handle produce and 
deal squaicly. Please let us hear from 
you. 
I'ltt )111 BITl \'Jd SWISS i'AKlEK.—The 
Iilebiseite. or popular vote, called for by 
the opponents of the new customs act, in 
the hope of killing it, has resulted in its 
adoption by a i)opular majority of 107,0(K). 
The duty on preserved meats is advanced 
from ?l.fi0 to ?4 per 200 pounds, and 
sausages and similar moat preparations 
fnmi fo to $7. This is evidently aimed at 
American moats, but appears to be a case 
of biting off one’s own nose, as it will in- 
cicase the cost of living, and cause hotel 
proprietors to raise rates or greatly cur¬ 
tail profits. It will not be likely to make 
much difference in hotel business, as those 
able to lour Switzerland can afford to pay 
increased rates, but it must cut short the 
moat diet of many people of moderate 
means, as it will indirectly raise the price 
of all fresh meats. 
(JUT DtJGR FISH.—Street Cleaning Com- 
missionm- Woodbury and the New York 
Health Department are after the East Side 
lish peddiers who for years have been 
hawking their goods about the streets, ex- 
Iiosed to tiie dust and dirt of this thickly 
settled section. Regular market places 
liave been provided near the approach to 
the new East River Bridge and those hav¬ 
ing fish or such products for sale will not 
he allowed to carry on their business in 
ihe open streets. The new ruling has 
raised a howl of protests from peddlers 
and buyers, and the reason for this can 
hardly be understood by any except those 
who liave visited this section and know 
the conditions. The problem of distrib¬ 
uting enough food in sections where there 
arc 1,500 or 2,000 people in a single block 
is not an easy one. Left to themselves the 
sellers have offercil their wares on the 
streets, right by the liouscs of the con¬ 
sumers, or williin a block of them. This 
suits the buyers better than going to a 
market s(jme distance away. Cleanliness 
is not in special favor with any of these 
pcoide. 'I'hoy see no harm in a little dirt 
and do not believe it has anything to do 
with tlie high death rate in these sections, 
particularly among the young. In fact 
they deny, and doubtless honestly, that 
the death rale is luglier there Ilian clse- 
wl'.cre. Half a dozen funerals a day in a 
block do not make much showing where 
di'ors, windows and streets are swarming 
with tiie living. Doing away with the out- 
dtoi' push cart markets in Hester Street 
and others in that vicinity will work real 
hardship to buyers, but these are condi¬ 
tions that ought to have been attended to 
long ago. Ward politicians, to keep them¬ 
selves solid in their own districts, have 
seen to it that these people have largely 
had their own way no matter how un¬ 
sanitary the results. It is to be hoped 
that this movement will not prove a mere 
sjiasm, but rather work a jicrmanent re- 
foim, removing food from street contami¬ 
nation, at least to some extent, and pro¬ 
viding the additional markets needed, so 
that New York may not be behind other 
cities in this resiiect. w. w. h. 
Feeding Pigs.— My experience in wean¬ 
ing pigs has been not to wean earlier than 
eight weeks of age. I prefer milk for pigs 
a I weaning lime. How'ever. if we do not 
have the milk for all shorts make a good 
substitute, stirred up with hot water into 
a thick slop. Feed when cool, with some 
shelled corn on a clean floor. Do not allow 
pigs to have more feed than they clean 
up nicely, and squeal for the next feed. 
Pigs should be fed at regular intervals: 
for instance, at 6 A. M., 12 M. and 6 P. M., 
with dry clean sleeping quarters and access 
to charcoal and salt in box on ground 
floor. Our pigs thrive well with the above 
trea,tment. w. a, mothers.

Each of the chief 
organs of the body is a 
link in the chain of life. 
A chain is no stronger 
than its weakest link, 
the body no stronger 
than its weakest organ. 
If there is weakness of 
heart or lungs, liver or 
kidneys, there is a weak 
link in the chain of life 
which may snap at any 
time. Often this so- 
called ”weakness” is 
caused by lack of nutri¬ 
tion, the result of disease 
of the stomach and other 
organs of digestion and 
nutrition. Diseases o f 
the stomach and its allied 
organs are cured by the 
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden 
Medical Discovery^. 
When the diseased stom¬ 
ach is cured, diseases of 
other organs which seem 
remote from the stomach 
but which have their _ 
origin in a diseased condition of the 
stomach and other organs of digestion 
and nutrition, are cured also. 
"I was in, poor health when I commenced 
taking Doctor Pierce’s medicines,” writes Mr. 
Elmer Lawler, of VoIm, Jefferson Co., Ind. ”1 
had stomach, kidney, n«art, and lung troubles. 
Was not able to do any work. 1 had a severe 
cough and hemorrhage of the lungs, but after 
using your medicine a while I commenced to 
gain in strength and flesh, and stopped cough¬ 
ing right away. Took about six bottles of 
•Golden Medical Discovery.’ I feel like a differ¬ 
ent person. I gladly recommend your medicine 
to all sufferers, for I know it cured me.” 
The use of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets 
will cure that foul breath.

which has been the standard for Eleven Years, 
and not one of its poor imitations. Ruberoid

./OU will thereby escape the annoyances and expense which your old rake caused. Cham- 
X pion teeth-hoUIers are malleable and will not break; the rake head Is heavy angle steel securely 
trussed and will not sag; and the wheels have each 16 strong, oval staggered spokes with heavy flanged 
tire. But more than this, you secure greater convenience of operation and adjustment. The teeth 
may hcloeked down or not for gathering as desired. When locked, no effort Is rcgnlred to hold them 
while gathering, and a boy may rake the heavlesthay and bunch It with the rake as well as a man. This 
Is why It is called a lock-lever rake. Another convenience Is the hand latch.by which the driver 
may change the position of the teeth on the ground without taking out bolts or plus, and as easily as he 
can change the tile of the cutters on hla mowing machine. Besides, the Champion has reversible 
ratchets and axles, providing dooble life at a single cost, and removable axle bushings In the iiiibs 
which may he easily replaced when worn. Write for catalog describing Champion binders, mowers 
and rakes, and for handsome colored calendar, sent free on request.

Dear Sirs; I have used a bottle o£“ Save-The-Horse,” 
and I consider it the best thing that as yet I have been 
able to obtain for what it was intended, it having en¬ 
tirely cured a very valuable mare which has been lame 
since last September with a sprained ankle. We had 
her blistered twice and laid up for two months, but it 
did no good. I was just about ready to breed her when 
1 gave It a trial; she is now entirely sound. 
Yours respectfully, ALBERT E. BAKER.
