Hints About Meat.

The leg of mutton j. the most profit
able joint, containing most solid meat.
The neck j. an eNtravagant joint, hall
the weight consisting Of bone and fat.
The shoulder has also much waste in
bone. The breast does well for kitchen
dinner. nicely stuffed il j. much
cheaper than the other joints. Sirioins
and ribs Of meat are very eNtravagant
joints, from the weight OF the bone.
The roasting side Of the round part IT
the bullock, and the part called the
"topside," are the most profitable
family eating. The mouse bullock is
used for stewing; shin Is Nsed for soup
or stewing The quantity OF butchers
meat consumed in a family is, on an
average, three-quarters Of a pound 4
day for each person; but when the
family consists Of woman and chill
dren, half a pound a day j. about the
quantity consumed one with another,
independent Of hams, bacon, poultry,
fish and game. Meat should be wiped
with a dry, clean cloth as soon a. it
comes from the butchers. Hv-hlOws, If
found il, cut out, and in loins the long
pipe that runs by the bone should be
taken out, as it soon taints; the kern
els, also, should be removed from beef.
Never receive bruised joints. Meat will
keep good for long time in cold
weather, and, il frozen through, may
keep for months. Frozen meat must
be thawed before ii j. cooked by plung-
ing into cold water, or placing il before
the fire before setting il down to roast.
Ii never will be dressed through if this
precaution is not taken, not even when
twice cooked. Pepper is \ preventive
