LOOKING AFFECTS MEAT COST.
Points on How to Get Best Results.
IN considering the price Of meats it
may not be generally known that the
way meat is cooked has much 10 do
with the cost OF II. Every cook recog-
nizes to some extent that meat shr!nks
in the cooking, but It is often news to
the young cook that the boiled beer or
the broilcd steak retains more weight
htan The roast. Careful investigations
show that when meal is fried or steam
| ed 15 per cent Of htc weight OF the
meat is lost; in boiling. 20 per cent;
in baking. 25 per. cent; In roasting, 80
! percent OF the weight is lost.
Best results arc produced in roasting,
broiling or baking by having the in
tense heat combined with free action of
the hot cir, which will come the nearest
to roasting before an open fire, and
fthis is what makers OF modern stoves
aim for. In roasting meats IN a gas
range 1t is we'll to insure success by

price of 10 cents a pound since the
first of the year. Butter has been
coming to this country from as far
off as Australia. Three hundred
thousand pounds have been ship

ring the years 1889 and $780, read at the
fifth anniversary celebration and greatly enjoyed
course written especially for the occasion, and owing
unavoidable absence of the author read by John
irth:
One-fourth hundred years have flown
On restless wing toward the unknown,
Since hopes and faiths bright morning sun
Shone this enterprise begun
In feebleness with numbers few,
This pilot ship with steadfast crew
Braved every adverse wind and wave
AS Ger life's sea she sailed and saved.
Firm at the wheel the pilot stands
With vision keen and strong of hand,
He guides the ship through every storm
And rides the white caps they form.
Yet on the raging He sails
Nor seeks the calm shuns the gales
His one intent is always clear
To the shpwrecked mariner.
Gods holy church on earth was formed
To sail life's seas when wrecks from storms
Demands life boats saving crew.
Who will the Masters work renew
To sail the broadening expanse
And give the derelcts chance.
Thus you have sailed. oh ship divine
So may you sail through all time.
And when the seas are cleared of wrecks,
The storms the ship defects,
Sailing by chart and compass true
And winds fair the journey through
The Captain at the wheel shall stand
Who brought you to the promised land.
Then you may dock on yonder shore
And sail the raging more.
