HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, April 23.-Despite
the hailstorm OF last week, which did
considerable damage to the straw,
berry crop, every indication yet points
to the 1912 crop being the largest in
the history Of tho industry in Texas.
The berries are now moving in car
lots. Alvin, Dickinson and Pasadena
reported some damage to the crop by
the rain. but escaped the hail. The
fruit is now in fine shape to be
shipped long distances and cars are
nov being loaded at the above men,
toned stations. Present prices range
around $2.25@275 per crate I. o. b.
shipping point. The acreage is about
onethird larger than last year and the
stand much better.
Fresh vegetables from the coast
country are coming into the Houston
produce market rapidly. A big move
ment is on from that section, not only
to Houston but to far Northern mar
kets as well. New potatoes are espe-
cially noted for their excellence. Other
lines include fancy Cuban tomatoes
worth $3.50 per crate, Mexican squash,
eggplant. beans, radishes, green
onions. asparagus, mustard greens and
spinach. New coast onions, packed In
crates. are arriving daily and moving
as fast as they can reach the market.
Arrival OF new potatoes is checking
the demand for old potatoes, the lat
ter now bringing $1.65 to the trade
The Houston market for chickens Is
better. Fryers and broilers are espe-
cially In strong demand. Eggs are
steady, unchanged. Clearing weather
is likely to increase the receipts.
Reports have been received from
Corpus Christi to the effect that near
ly thousand cars of cabbage, onions
and cucumbers will be shipped from
that section this season. Everything
this year has been favorable TO truck
growers In that section and many re-
port they will make as high as 5000
to the acre from their paintings.

he succumbed before the physician

Afterward the doctor said death
came from heart failure, superinduced
by acute indigestion.

for his tour of the country, which was
interrupted by the fatal attack.
Dickens had reached this country.

years. His first comments In Boston.

Relatives of Mr.. Dickens who re-

CHEESE AND CHEESE DISHES.

There are many different kinds of
cheeses, and all palatable, according
to ones taste.
Cheese should never be kept tightly
covered.
When It is dry and hard, CRATE and
keep covered until ready to use. 1t
may be sprinkled into soups or added
to starchy foods.
Soda added to cheese dishes makes
them more digestible by softening the
casein.
A soft, rich cheese is best for cook
ing.
Cheese is sufficiently cooked when
1t is melted; IL cooked longer it be-
comes tough and leathery. "'
Cheese is very valuable food, be-
ing rich in proteid and may be used
as substitute for meat. in
Various brands OF cheese take their
name from the places where they are
made. Skim-milk cheeses are Edam,
Parmesan and Gruyere. Parmesan Is
so hard that 1t Is mostly used for
grating, or may be bought in bottles
htready grated.
Gruyere has its large holes made by
aeratlon.
The favorite milk cheeses are Ched-
dar, Gorgonzola and Cheshire.
Cream cheeses are Camembert, Brie
and Neufchatel.
The study of cheese is a most inter
esting one. Our American cheeses are
ranking well with those Of foreign
make.
Cheese OF which tho Germans are
very fond is Limberger. which is very
rich and delicious. and when one can
get it past the nose is greatly en-
ioyed.
Roquefort is a French cheese. orig
lnally made of goats milk. This
cheese is a great favorite as an after
dinner ending.
