New York, Nov. 30. An inquiry
made in New York and in several
other large centers of population
from New York, west ard south,
seems to indicate that in the major
lty of places where the inquiries
were made the retail butchers have
been made to feel the influence Of
the general cut in the wholesale price
of meat, and that consumers are now
getting some of their meat, at least,
at a considerable reduction from the
price Of month ago.
In New York, in certain sections
of the northern end of Manhattan
island and the Bronx, the price of
lamb, either in chops or in the leg,
has fallen 25 per cent or more. In
some shops lamb was purchasable
at from 16 20 rs cents a pound, while
a month ago 1t was selling for 20
cents. Rib roast is selling for %
cents a pound and month ago 1t
was selling for from 25 to q cents.
Chickens are selling for from % to
% cents a pound, and porterhouse
and sirloin steaks at from 23 TO %
cents a pound, as against ~ to 30
cents pound a month ago. The re-
turns from Newark, Baltimore, Buf
falo. Philadelphia, Boston, Indianapo
lis and Columbus follow;

Simple and Convenient Method of Do

Simple and Convenient Method of Do
ing Il at Home.
Milk is most conveniently paSteur-
lied in the bottles in which il is de-
livered To do this use a small pail
with n perforated false bottom. An
inverted pie tin with a few holes
punched in it will answer the purpose
This VIII raise the bottles from the
bottom of the pail. thus allowing &
free circulation of water and prevent
ing humping of the bottles. Punch a
hole through the cap of one Of the
bottles and insert thermometer. The
ordinary floating type Of thermometer
is likely to be inaccurate, so II possible
good thermometer with the scale
etched on the glass should be used.
Set the bottles Of milk in the pail
and fill the pail with water nearly to
the level Of the milk. Put the pail on
the stove or over a gas fame and heat
II until the Thermometer in the milk
shows not less than $50 degrees or
more than 1855 degrees F. The bottles
should then be removed from the wa
ter and allowed to stand from twenty
10 thirty minutes. The temperature
will fall slowly, but may be held more
uniformly by covering the bottles with
a towel. The puncmred cap should be
replaced with new one or the bottle
should be covered with an inverted
cap. After the milk has been held
as directed II should be cooled. To
avoid danger of breaking the bottle
the water should be warm at first. Re
place the warm water slowly with cold
water. After cooling milk should in
all cases be held at the lowest avail
