WHAT A ROAST SHOULD BE.

(and by this we mean muscle or lean
meat, is so lacking in fat that it would
shriyel and dry up when roasted, thus
becoming dry and tough.
prime meats require from three to
four weeks aging in refrigerators to
arrive at their best. The cut shows a
very choice rib roast well ripened by
refrigeration. 1t illustrates the proper
proportion of fat and lean and shows
beautiful distribution of fat veins
through the lean meat, giving the APP
pearance known as 'marbling, which
is found only in meat from we'll bred
and properly finished animals
