The Color Of Good Meat.

The color of good meat, as every
body knows, is red and not dark col
ored. The layers of fat between the
nbers, of which the flesh is composed
give it a marbled aspect Veal and
pork are Of lighter color than beef
or mutton.
The odor Of good fresh meat Is
pleasant enough, and a chemical test
can be applied to the meat juice, which
is Of an acid character, so that II blue
litmus paper is soaked in it the paper
is turned a red hue. This test applied
TO meat which is too old or of bad
quality win result in the blue litmus
