In the study Of meat marketing good
diagrams, such as are to be found IN
many cookbooks, are Of great assist
ance, for in different sections beef is
not cut alike and different names are
given the same portion. 1t is, therefore,
necessary that the housekeePer should
acquaint herself with the anatomy OF
the meat as we'll as it's appearance that
she may recognize on sight from what
portion of the animal cut has been
taken.
The first attention should be given
to the grain and color Of the meat. If
steer or heifer beef, where the animal
is under 4 years Of age, the grain
should be fine, of firm texture and the
rib and loin cuts well >marbled with
fat; the suet should be dry and crumbly;
and all the fat should have a creamy
white color. That the outside of the
meat should present a blackened 9ap-
pearance does not indicate that it is
not good; when cut it will be rather
dark, changing after a few minutes
exposure to the air to bright, clear
red. This coloring, however, is fire.
quently modified by the weather, as
on clear day it will appear brighter
than in damp, stormy weather. : The
meat from older animals is coarser in
grain and the fat is quite yellow, while
bull beef may be known by its bright
yellow or orange-colored' fat and strong
odor. Good meat should have little
odor and that not unpleasant, while
tainted meat quickly betrays itself.

head to tail into two portions called
sides; these are again divided just back
Of the ribs, each piece being called a
quarter. :: 49,. =.

What the Market Affords

. Round steak, 10 cents pound.
Green tomatoes, rs cents peck.
Horseradish, 10 cents pound
Yellow tomatoes, 40 cents peck.

Yellow tomatoes may be canned just
as the red ones are put up, that is,
simply stew and put in alright jars
Then, when opened in the winter, they
can be used according to the family
taste, for sauces, sour or sweet. But
the imperfection of the yellow tomato
is lack Of acid and, indeed, of flavor.
For this reason they are most salts

sweet pickle.
For preserves, scald the tomatoes,
then pour off the hot water, cover with
cold and peel them. Then press out the
seeds into dish, and when you have
done this with all your tomatoes, strain
the juice into a kettle with the pulp,
rejecting the seeds. Next weigh the
fruit, and to every pound Of the toma-
toes add three-fourths Of, a pound of
sugar, the juice of half a lemon, and
a little mace. Boil slowly until the
strip is thick and clear, then put in
small Jars and seal. -
For sweet pickle, use the small yell
low tomatoes, and pick when they
have turned their color, before they
become at all soft. Prick each one two
or three times with needle, and soak
fifteen minutes in salt and water. Then
take out and put in Jars, after which
make strip in the following manner:
To one pint Of vinegar add. three
fourths Of pound Of yellow G sugar

half dozen cloves, as many whole
allspice, one peppercorn, piece Of Gin

known as the tip of the sirloin, sir

term "porterhouse is peculiar to
New York and originated in an eating
house for sailors called the Porter

when all the tenderloin steaks in the

they that the diners called for them
