BUYING FAMILY MEAT
MARKET CONDITIONS SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY STUDIED.
No Matter What Cut Is Selected II
Can Not Be Utilized to Best
Advantage Unless It Is
Well Cooked.

The choice of meat cuts should cor
respond to the needs of the family
and the preferences of its members,
Careful consideration of market condi-
tons is always useful not only to
make sure that the meat is handled
and marketed in sanitary way but
also to take advantage of any favor
able change in price which may be
due, for instance, to a large local sup
ply of some particular kind or cut of
meat. In towns whore there is oppor-
tunity for choice, It may sometimes be
found more satisfactory not to give
all the family trade to one butcher;
by going TO various markets before
buying the housekeeper is in better
position to hear of variations in prices
and SO be in position to get the best
values. Ordering by telephone or
from the butchers boy at the door
may be less economical than going to
market in person as the range Of
choice and prices is of course more
obvious when the purchaser sees the
goods and has a chance to observe
market conditions. Each housekeeper
must decide for herself whether or not
the greater convenience compensates
ior the smaller range OF choice which
such ordering from description en-
tails. No matter what the cut, wheth.
er expensive or cheap, 1t can not be
utilized to the best advantage unless
1t is well cooked. Poorly prepared
meat dishes are almost inevitably
wasted at the table. AS an illustra-
ton Of the losses arising through un-
wise selection and poor cooking may
be mentioned facts observed in die
tary studies carried on by the expert
ment stations. In many families
where the income was fairly good the
table and other conditions were far
from satisfactory. In such cases the
marketing was quite commonly done
by a child or someone without knowl-
edge or experience In q particular
instance the selection was expensive
steak, which later was 80 badly cook
ed that It was hardly possible to eat
It A cheaper cut we'll cooked would
lhsasye been much more satisfactory as
we'll as more economical;
There is sometimes ah advantage
In using canned meat and meat prod.
ucts. and. If they are of good quality,
such products are wholesome and
palatable.

little stove can be attached to a
steam pipe in the house by connecting
up pipes which run through the bot
tom or body member. The top of the
lower section will thus be heated 80
that it can be used to fry on while
the inside can be used as an oven.
In addition to this there is q box-like
compartment which rests on top Of
the lower chamber and which has
hinged cover which fits 80 closely as
to make 1t steam-tight This cover
provides for the retention of heat In
the compartment, the same as in an
oven. and makes 1t especially useful
for certain purposes, such as preserv
ing and the like. OF course, the steam
cooker Is designed primarily for use
in houses which are equipped with
steam heat.

For Cold Mornings.

Is there anything better for break.
fast cold mornings than fried mush
or corn griddle-cakes? Don't let the
miller grind the meal too fine, and If
he is tricky keep an eye on him or
you may not get the meal from your
own corn. We like to pick out nice,
sound ears, clean and dry enough to
grind well. And when we shell them
we leave about an inch Of the tips
on the cobs. Then we like to get all
the cob chaff out, leaving nothing but
the clean corn.

TO MAKE CHOCOLATE NUTS
Delicious Form of Candy That IL
Easily Made and Is Most
Wholesome.

No more delicious form of candy
can be made than chocolate nuts. for
which any kind of nut kernels can be
used, almonds, walnuts and Brazil
nuts being especially favored To pre-
pare, take half pound of slightly
sweetened chocolate, break 1t into
small pieces, and place these in the
upper part Of a milk saucepan, one
with the double pan, the lower part
OF which should be filled with very
warm-not too hot-water. Stir the
chocolate occasionally and when quite
melted, set 1t to cool. When rather
less than luke warm drop in the
bleached kernels one by one, and side
by side; with narrow, close pronged
wire fork push them well under; have
ready piece Of waxed or confection-
er's paper, and having lifted out the
dipped nuts, let them drain a second
to get rid Of drops of the chocolate.
place them carefully side by side on
the paper. continue the process till
all the nuts are dipped. and place
them to set in cool dry place; figs.
dates. pines, and candied fruits can
be treated in the same way
The preparation of fondants is more
complicated. and cannot have place in
this article, but none of them takes
very much time, and so many people
would be glad of good homemade
bon-bons for their young people, and
even for their guests during this sea-
son OF country house parties.

THOUSANDS OF
BIRDS LIBERATED
HALF OF PHEASAkTS FOR IOWA
DELiVERED; MORE ATTEN-
TON TO HATCHIN0.

Cedar Rapids, March 25.-State Fish
and Game Warden Lincoln, in state
ment just made in regard to the propa
CATION Of game birds, says that during
the past few months, 1850 pairs Of
partridges havee been received and
placed In the different counties Of the
state. As Mr.. Lincoln contracted for
1000 birds last year, only about one
half of the number has been delivered.
Mr.. Lincoln is anxious to have all the
birds turned loose throughout the state
just as soon as possible.
Last year the warden bought several
thousand pheasants. These birds were
exhibited at the state fair, and were
then sent to the various counties, there
to be liberated, except those that we're
kept for Matching purposes. Mr.. Lin
coin reports splendid success with the
birds sent out, there being practically
no loss during the winter months.
Fairly good success is reported from
those to whom eggs were sent for
Matching, fully so per cent Of the eggs
Matching, and the loss after Matching
cut the percentage of birds secured
down to 80. This makes the Matched
pheasant a cheaper bird than the bird
that is imported. Mr.. Lincoln says thar
more money will be devoted to secur-
ing eggs for Matching and less to the
purchase Of live birds.
