NEW YORK, JANUARY lOlS 
Business in perishable goods has been 
stagnant during the entire week, owing 
to the extreme cold, which made move¬ 
ment from the cars and trucking unsafe. 
Much of the stuff arriving is of uncertain 
value, being frozen or chilled on the way.

Outdoor selling is out of the question 
and the demand for green stuff is very 
light. The report “very little ti-ade’’ is 
heard everywhere along the markets. 
I’rices naturally remain high, except that 
apples, on account of the big Western re¬ 
ceipts. are not above .$6.75 per bbl.. being 
usually .$7. The low mark is $4.25 for 
Ben Davis. The .Jonathan apple has out¬ 
run all others, having a flavor and ap¬ 
pearance not reached by any other. They 
wholesale at .$1.50 to $2 per bushel box. 
Potatoes are quiet, but prices run up 
to ji!1..30 to $1.50 per bn., with sweets 
$2..50 to .$2.75 per hamper for Jersey No. 
1. Onions, firm for No. 1, at .$1..50 to 
.$1.80 for Western and .$1.65 to $1.7.5 per 
crate, Spanish. Beans are reported dull, 
but prices remain at $9 to $9.50 per bu.; 
cabbage. .$2..50 to $.3 per bbl. 
Other vegetables are: beets. $1 to 
$1.25; carrots, 7,5c to .$1; parsnips. $1 to 
$1.25: white turnips. 75c to $1.25. all per 
bu.: cauliflower. .$1.2.5 to ,$1.7.5 per crate; 
celery. 35 to 60c per bunch ; lettuce, 40(‘ 
to $1 per 2-doz. box; parsley. 20 to 40c; 
vegetable oysters, 60 to 70c: radishes, 2.5 
to .30c. all per dozen bunches; .squash, 
$.5.2.5 per 100 lbs.; tomatoes, hothouse'. 
22 to 2.5c per lb.; yellow turnips. $1.60 
to .$1.7.5 per bbl. cucumbers still out of 
market. 
Butter still advances, being 51c for ex¬ 
tra creamery prints, 45 to 46(' for dairy. 
4.3 to 47c for crocks, 41c for poor and 
27c for oleomargarine. Cheese is tpiiet and 
stiitionary at 27 to 28c for fancy domestic. 
23 to 25c for new. 28 to 30c for limburger. 
Eggs are strong on account of cold 
weather at 6.3 to 6.5c for fancy white hen¬ 
nery. 58c for State candled and .’>9 to 42c 
for storage. 
_ Di'inand for poultry is light, with (*on- 
siderable Christmas stuff arriving late and 
not in good condition. Turkeys, dressed, 
.34 to .37c: fowl. 2.3 to 27c; chickens, 25 
to .30c; old roosters. 20 to 21c; ducks, 28 
to 29c; geese. 2.3 to 27c. I.ive poultry is 
about_ .3c lower than dressed. Southern 
frui^is (piiet but firm, oranges being .$4.,50 
to .$,5.50 jier box for Floridas and navels; 
lemons. $7 to $7.50 per box; grape fruit. 
$4 to $4.50 per box; bananas, .$2.25 to $4 
per bunch. Hay goes up steadily, being 
.$20 to .$2.5 for grades of 33mothy. with the 
farmer often getting only about $14. With 
AVinter continuing heavy two months 
longer the crop will be used up, though it 
was good in this locality. j. w. c. 
Edema 
I have an Angora goat that swells up 
along the .sides of the abdomen from one- 
half to three-quarters inch high and stion 
after the swelling extends to the fore 
legs and up under the chin. I have made 
a cut along the swelling and it looks like 
pure water that runs out. As I have a 
number of Angoras, some of them may 
have been affected by it and got Avel'l, 
but several have died in the past 10 years. 
Both old goats and four or five-month.s- 
old kinds have it. I now have an old doe 
and a kid. not her kid, that has the swell¬ 
ing, and the old goat has had it for 10 
days or more. This morning I cut a 
gash one-half inch long in the swelling 
and water ran out. Can you tell me 
the cause of it, and what to do for it? 
Some of my neighbors’ goats have had 
it, and one told me he cut quite a chunk 
out of the skin and the goat got well.

The drop.sical or edematous swellings 
de.scribed^ do not constitute a disease, but 
are the indication of bloodlessness (ane¬ 
mia). They are commonly seen in sheep 
that are infested with stomach or tape 
worms or flukes of the liver and in goats 
may have a like cause or symptom of an 
incurable contagious disease known as 
“tako.ses.” regarding which you can ob- 
^in a free bulletin by applving to the 
Department of agriculture at M’Aishing- 
H. C. You should have opened one 
of the goats that died to determine the 
cause of death and such a post mortem 
examination should be made if an op¬ 
portunity offers. Meanwhile we should 
advi.se giving each affected adult goat a 
tablespoonful of gasoline shaken up with 
one ounce of raw linseed oil and three 
or four ounces of new milk slowly and 
carefully as a drench from a long-necked 
bottle. The dose may he repeated two 
or three times at intervals of 24 hours. 
Feed generously and give an entire 
change of pasture. There is no cure for 
for liver fluke disease. Scarify the swell¬ 
ings to allow escaiie of serum. a. s. a.

Fertilizers; they enrich the earth and

Caloric Epele$5 Hcoim^ 
The CALORIC is not a pipe 
furnace with the pipes left off. 
Neither is it an experiment, 
hastily put together to meet a v 
demand. It is specially de- ^ 
signed to heat homes, halls, churches, 
stores, factories, etc., more uniformly, 
economically and satisfactorily than 
they have ever been heated by other 
systems. 
HERE’S THE SECRET 
The CALORIC works thru Nature’s 
own laws of circulation by air cur¬ 
rents. Warm air rises. Cold air falls. 
Warm air and cold air cannot occupy 
the same space at the same time. 
In the same volume that the warm 
air is pumped up into the house, an 
equal amount of cold air is drawn 
into the furnace, where it is heated, 
moistened by the vapor from the 
two-gallon water pan, and then re¬ 
circulated through the register. This 
continues as long as the fire burns. 
Thus there is_ a constant circulation 
of properly moistened warm air. Just 
as running water purifies itself, so 
this circulating warm air, passing thru 
heat of from three hundred to eight 
hundred degrees, in which no germ . 
can live, is kept pure and healthful. X 
**'^eOriginal Patented Pipeless Furnace ^ 
Is guaranteed by the oldest and 
largest manufacturers of warm 
air heating systems in the Unit¬ 
ed States. You take no chances 
when you buy a CALORIC. 
Whether your house is old or new, 
the Caloric is easily installed in one 
clay, without^ interruption of your 
present heating arrangement. No 
holes knocked in your walls, no cellar 
full of heat-wasting pipes. The Ca¬ 
loric requires but one register and oc¬ 
cupies little space. It burns any fuel, 
and needs hardly any attention. 
Makes^ housework one-third easier, as 
there is no muss from carrying in coal 
and carrying out ashes—no smoke, 
gas or soot. Eliminates fire danger and 
increases the value of your property.
