MARKETS 
Prices current at New York during week ending 
January 29, 1909, wholesale except where other¬ 
wise indicated. The retail prices given do not, as 
a rule, cover either the highest or lowest sales, but 
show what the bulk of consumers of moderate 
means pay for small quantities of produce bought 
in Fulton, Washington.. Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and up-town grocery stores. “Retail” is rather 
an indefinite word, but in this column It means 
less than barrel or other original package lots of 
fruits and vegetables, less than tubs of butter, 
cases of eggs, etc. The trade of commission mer¬ 
chants is strictly wholesale. The retail prices 
given are those secured by grocers and small deal¬ 
ers who receive no direct shipments.

Orange Judd Go. The apple is the king 
of fruits, but until now there lias been no

of tiie methods used by practical apple men 
in various parts of the country. All who

growing should have this book. Price,

Feeding School Children.—I'. S. Con¬ 
sul Goldschmidt, of Nantes, France, tells 
how the French children are fed. At five 
minutes before 11 the children wash their 
hands and march into the refectory or din¬ 
ing room. Each child, before entering' this 
rot m, gives a check to the master. This 
check is given to the poorer children in an 
unobserved manner and without charge, and 
is sold at 15 centimes (three cents) to the 
scholars whose parents are more able to 
pay. Thus the children's pride is not hurt, 
there being no difference between the one 
who pays and the one who does not. The 
meal lasts three-fourtlis of an hour. Two 
of the older children arc appointed to 
watch over the younger and see that they 
all secure their food. One of the masters 
also superintends the meals. The weekly 
bill of fare has been arranged as follows': 
Monday, cabbage, sottp, sausage and beans; 
Tuesday, bean soup, stew, jam; Wednesday, 
meat soup, rice, pie ; Thursday, no school 
takes place; Friday, vegetable soup, cod¬ 
fish, rice; Saturday, meat soup, sausages or 
blood pudding, beans. In addition each 
child receives half a pint of wine mixed 
with water.
