A stew is the most economical and
most nutritious dish that can be pre-
pared from meat. It is prepared with
a less quantity of water than in max
ing soups and cooked at moderate
heat for a longer time. AS part Of
the nutriment is to be in the meat, you
do not cut it small. as for soups; cut
into pieces convenient for serving.
Put the bones, gristly bits and the
poorer parts of the lean meat into cold
water. This draws out the richness
and gives added nutritive value to the
broth. When the water boils add the
tender portions, then the juices are
kept in them. By slow, tender sim
meiing rather than by fierce boiling
the iibres are soitened and the coarsest
and cheapest kinds Of meat are made
tender and nutritious. Pieces of meat
from the shin, the aitchbone, the flank.
the neck ard the shoulder are suitable
for stews; but the shin is the richest, it
has so much marrow IN the bone.
Fowls, the tougher parts of mutton,
lamb and veal may all be used in stews.

Orchard Manuring.

A covering of manure around trees
serves as a mulch, and the Jumps in the
manure are broken fine by frost, while
the soluble portions leach out and go
to the roots Of the trees. Such work
as applying manure to trees in winter
saves them in spring, for If the orchard
IS then cultivated the hurried work of
spreading manure will have been done,
and there is more complete incorpora-
ton of the manure with the soil.
