THE hind quarters of beef contains
the sirloin, the rump, the round
and the shin. Laying against the
side Of the s%irloin, imbedded in a
casing Of fat, are the kidneys.
The flank or top Of the sirloin is
used for pot roasting, braising, ham,
burg steaks, goulashes and corning.
The sirloin contains the loin and
the flet or the tenderloin, which is
frequently removed and sold sepa-
rately as a filet Of beef. The loin is
then cut into back or delmonico
steaks.
The face cut of the rump is called
the pin bone, which usually weighs
from 6h to IL pounds, depending
upon the size and grade of the cat
tie. Rump is used for steaks; back
or short rump for roasts and corn
ing.
The round is the thigh or upper
part of the leg and takes its name
from the ANN in which it is
placed upon the block. The top Of
the round is the tender inside part
of the thigh, while the lower or bot
tom round is the tough outside por-
ton.
From the round, as it faces you
on the butchers block, the butcher
cuts from the left-hand side a three
cornered piece of meat called the
why piece. This piece of meat is
entirely lean, and if a portion of fat
is added to it, it makes a deliciously
tender roast, pot roast, braise or
beef a la mode. 1t is without one
particle of waste.
The heel or back end Of the round
is used for stews, pot roasts and
corning. The uses for the shin are
similar to those used in the fore
quarter of the beef.
To secure the best results when
cooking meats, it is necessary for
the housewife to know that the
tender cuts Of meat require en-
tirely different methods of treat
ment from that used for preparing
the forequarter cuts.
Frying makes this meat tough and
indigestible. 1t should be broiled
over u clear fire or in the gas
broiler.
To prepare: Have the meat cut
at least n inch thick; thin meat
Is wasteful, owing to the fact that
there is an unusual loss of the meat

Have the butcher trim the flet

then place on a rack in the roasting
pan and place in a hot oven, basting
every ten minutes. Cook, allowing
the meat one-half hour to become
thoroughly heated and to start
cooking; then allow twelve minutes

choicest of the entire cattle and is
without a single ounce of waste. 1t
is delicious either hot or cold.
The beef cattle are divided into
three classes:
First. Fancy prime steers.
Second. Cows.
Third. Bulls.
Fancy prime steers have meat
which is a bright red color and is
well marbled with fat. The cows

democracy safe for themselves.
Most of the worrying over the little

from false pride. Now let's be frank.
How many of us are willing to go to

by the big lobby alive with lights and
well.dressed people and go around to
the shabby little entrance where one
may buy tickets for ffty-ive cents

$4,000 Heart Balm Asked

A heart balm case in which Miss
Anna c. Dyer, of Rutland, aged 80
years, piano teacher seeks to recover
$4,000 from Charles H. Labor, former
proprietor of Hotel Bardwell there,
aged so years, for alleged breach of
promise to marry, was placed on trial
in Rutland county court. Miss Dyer
testified that she met Mr.. Lalor in
1900 at his place of business and he
wrote her note the next day, asking
permission to call. He did call and
for about Is years he continued to
see her twice week OF oftener. He
gave her expensive presents such as
$50 furs and bought her fine hats. In
1901 he declared his love for her, say
ing that he could not live without her
but that he did not wish to marry I'M
til he had made a success of business.
She promised to marry him when he
was ready.
Four years ago Mr.. Lalor told her
he was worth $4,000, she testified.
He expressed the intention of buying
a house for them to live in and did
buy a house, she said. She told of
Labor causing her to give up teaching
music as he was to support her.
MI. Lalor married Miss Margaret
Sullivan, of Rutland, on October 9Th,
1918, and they now live in the house
he bought.
