Choicer Cuts Contain Only
20 Per Cent of Animal.
Facts About Other n
Per Cent That Remains
The Eighth or Ninth Rib,
for Which the House
uife Seldom Calls, and
the FOrequTterS
By MRS. NJ. A. WILSON

THE beef carcass is divided into
= two sides and then this is sub
divided into fore and hind quarters.
The forequarters contain the ribs,
chuck, brisket, plate, bolar or Shout
der cut, neck and shin. The fancy,
prime or choice roast are as follows:
Fancy, first and second ribs; prime,
third and fourth ribs; choice, fifth
and sixth ribs and sometimes the
seventh rib.
Few persons ever think of call
ing for the eighth or ninth rib or
chuck end for roasting, yet the meat
is fully as good as the other cuts,
only it will require longer cooking.
The forequarters contain the
choice meat suitable for stews, gou-
lashes, pot roasts, braises and
hashes.
The part of the animal that is
constantly exercised and the part in
which the muscles are most con-
stantly in use, becomes tough; but
this part also contains larger
amount Of nutriment.
One factor in helping to keep up
the high prices of food is that the
average woman, whe she goes to
market, has in mind fancy, p e
and choice cuts for roast, steaks and
chops. These choice cuts represent
about 26 per cent CT the whole car
cass, leaving about "a per cent to be
disposed of. Now, if this becomes
difficult, the fancy cuts must bear
the additional cost an so become
proportionately high in price.

and cook slowly, allowing one-half
hour for the meat to start cooking
and then twenty-five minutes to the
pound, and basting frequently. If
baked in the range, it should give
delicious, well l-favored roast. that
will supply the most finicky family
with a good substantial food.
The bolar cut from the shoulder
may be prepared the same way.
Meat from the neck and shin may
be used for stews, goulashes and
meat loaves.

Pot Roast of Shin Beef, English

beef from the upper part of the
shin, with the bone in. Wipe with

Cover closely and cook slowly un-
til the meat is tender, allowing one
half hour for meat to start cooking
and twenty-five minutes to the
pound, counting the time when it
is put into the kettle.
The plate and brisket may be used
for soups, stews and goulashes and
for corning. The brisket makes a
splendid pot roast when boned and
rolled. Also the plate or brisket
may be used for la mode.
The flank steak is choice piece Of
lean, boneless meat, that lies close
to the ribs and weighs from one and
three quarters to two and one-half
pounds. 1t may be used for steaks,
if cut in slanting slices, or for mock
filet, or rolled, or for hamburg steak.

eoagulating the albumen in the
meat; and then it should be cooked
just below the boiling point until
tender, allowing one-half hour for
the meat to heat and start cooking
and then twenty-five minutes to the
pound. Add salt just before re-
moving from the fire.
Keep this fact in mind, that salt
will, if added when the meat is just
starting to cook, extract the juice.
For pot roast and braises, etc, it
is necessary to quickly scar over the
surface Of the meat for the same
reason that the meat was plunged
into boiling water and then cook
slowly, allowing the same proper
tion of time as for boiling or stew
ing.
The real object in cooking meat is
to retain its juices and make it
sufficiently tender to eat and to in
crease its flavor.
Soups and Broths
In making soups and broths, just
the opposite method is used. The
meat is put to cook in cold water
adding a small proportion of salt tc

is placed in the water, brought slow
