TO Find PRIME REEE.

The prime steer used for beef pur-
poses weighs about 900 pounds. OF
this amount there is in the carcass two
sets of first quality ribs, consisting OF
seven ribs in each set and weighing
about forty pounds per set. There
are also two loins weighing about forty
pounds each. There is, on nj average,
l75 pounds of choice beef in each we'll
regulated steer, but some butchers
have been known to sell porterhouSe
from q carcass after everything was
gone but the horns. The remainder
ofthe beef, after the choicest has been
cut away, is called the "misnomer,
from the fact that it sells at lower
price. A large percentage OF the
most nutritious meat is found IN the
coarsest cuts, but nearly every one
demands part OF the l75 pounds
which is false idea of domestic
economy as we'll as Judgment.
Practical experience has shown thaS
the utilization OF the chucks, the best

peate and brisket gives the best re-
suits and is conducive of better health

parts need, attention while COOK
