CHOOSING MUTTON.
RuIss 20 Guide Those Who Want to Dc
Careful Buyers.

CAroruI 0uyOTSs
Mutton is generally considered the
most healthful meat and Is eaten py
many to the exclusion of any variety,
consequently great care should be ex-
ercised in the selection, and a little
time should be given to the study OF
quality.
In buying mutton or lamb care
should be taken to see that the rat is
clear. hard and white, as mutton Win
soft or yellow fat indicates too long
STAY In cold storage. 1t might appear
that great quantity Of fat on mutton
signifies waste, but the lean part Is
much juicier and more tender when
this is the case, so the wise housewife
makes purchases with this in view.
The leg has the least fat In proper
ton to weight. Next comes the snoui-
der. The color Of lean mutton IS
deep red.
Lamb is good to eat when year
old and is much more digestible than
other immature meat. such as veal OF
Young pork. The wise housewife
knows the value of nutrition. 80 sh'
WIN hesitate about buying lamb mere

generally expensive.
