ECONOMY IN BUYING MEATS.
Cheaper Cuts. Nell Cooked. Equal 20
Most Expensive in Flavor and
Nutritive Quality.
BY Ida Finney.

"Roasts are bought, good ones, and
after one meal the bone and the rest
of the meat is thrown away. / don't
know whether women are too lazy, or
whether they actually don't know how
to make the soups which they could
make out of so little. See the Ger
man women. They can make you a
meal that is good out of a scrap of
meat, and two or three cents worth
of vegetables. But American women,
the most of them, don't know how,
and they don't seem to learn. For in
stance, take a chuck piece of beef or
cut of the lower round, and if a
young housekeeper only thought so she
could make some good dishes out of
it that her husband would enjoy eating,
and praise, too. A good stew cooked
slowly in the oven; a pot roast; beef
a la mode, or meat pie; and especial
ly good, nourishing soups. But they
think they must have steaks and roasts
the best cuts-and if not those they
resort to canned meats. We're
here to sell meat, only do hate to see
people throwing their money away"
the butcher was G. thrifty German,
and knew what economy meant. The
truth of his statement is proven every
day in the big markets. Steaks and
roasts, roasts and steaks-these are
the standbys. And if, by chance, the
cheaper cuts of meat are suggested,
oftentimes the reply will me: "Oh, but
my family likes only the best cuts"
| always feel sorry for the house
keeper who speaks thus, feeling sure
she is ignorant of the nutritive value
and delicate flavor of the cheap cuts"
when properly cooked. And the I'M
fortunate fact is that many house
keepers leave this important matter to
the ignorant and unskillful servant.
Happening into the kitchen of a
friend at four o'clock one afternoon
saw the negro cook drop a piece of
meat, evidently intended for a stew,

Here was a good piece of beef, a
ather expensive cut, too, utterly
uined by the cooking. The cold water
rev out the juices and the rapid boil
ng hardened the fibers, with the result
hat the finished product was not fit

losses from depredations Of this insect
on wheat in single States have ranged
between $10,000,000 and $20,000,00O in
one year. A very reasonable average
annual estimate of loss, taking the
country as a whole, would indicate
about $20,000000 a year chargeable to
this insect. While in some years the
damage caused by Hessian fly is enor-
nous, taking the average IF ten years,
the loss to the wheat crop caused by
this bug has a value of 100000 900, and

Hay and forage crops are damaged

Shortage may so increase values as to
occasion the shutting down of mills.
A shortage of finished product such
as flour, cotton or fabrics, may mean
a corresponding loss to transportation
companies and to shippers. In other
words shortage in an important pro-
duct starts a train of losses to the
end of the chapter, the total amount
of which is quite beyond calculation or
estimate.
Cereals Damaged Most.
The cereals suffer most from insect
damage, the yearly amount of loss ag-
gregating 100000, 900. The leading
cereal crop of the United States, of
course. is king corn, with a value last
year of $1,216, 100000. While corn is
less subject to insect damage and
wheat next, the most important cereal,
which is the corn product, would be
considerably greater were 1t not for
important insect pests. The corn root
worm causes an annual average loss
OF at least 2 per cent. of the crop or
some $20,000,0 900. The next most i'm

the bollworm or earworm. This in
