| Meat | Loin of Mutton |
In a loin, as cut in Boston, there are seven make a good roast for a This cut is particularly nice in hot weather. It is not as large as a leg, and the is, besides, of a lighter and more The cost when the flank is taken off will be about seven cents more a pound than if the loin be sold with; but, unless you wish to use the flank for a soup, stew or haricot, it is the better economy to buy a trimmed piece and pay the higher price. When the two loins are joined they are called a saddle. Plate No. 20 shows a saddle and two French chops. From Miss Parloa's New Cook Book and Marketing Guide, 1880, page 36.

| Meat | Trimmed Chops |
“ Untrimmed Chops, “ When one has a large family it brings all kinds of meat considerably cheaper to buy large pieces untrimmed, as the trimmings can be used for soups, stews, etc.; but for a small it is much better to purchase only the part you want for immediate use. Although mutton costs less per pound than beef, it is no cheaper in the end, because to be good it must be fat, and fat, unlike beef fat, cannot be employed for cooking purposes, as it gives a strong flavor to any article with which it is cut and sold like mutton. Being much smaller, however, a hind or fore quarter is not too large for a goodsized family. not keep as long as mutton, for, juicy, it taints readily. It is of a nearly a year old, when it begins to taste mutton and is not so tender. The bones of a young lamb red, and the fat hard and This meat is in season from May to September. The calf being so much the sheep, the fore and hind quarters are not cooked together, and for an ordinary family both are not purchased. The animal is, however, cut into the same as mutton. The breast and shoulder are used for roasting. Chops are cut from the and neck, those the neck rib chops or cotelettes. The neck itself is used for stews, pies, fricassees, etc. The leg is for fricandeaux, stews and roasts, and for braising. The of veal is a solid piece cut from the leg—not like the tenderloin in beef, but used in much the same way. The lower leg is called a knuckle, and is particularly nice for soups and sauces.

Pork, although not so much used in the fresh state as beef, mutton, lamb, etc., is extensively employed in the preparation of food. It is cut somewhat like mutton, but into more Fresh young pork should be firm; the fat white, the lean a pale reddish color and the white and When the fat is yellow and soft the pork is not of the Alter pork has been salted, if it is corn-fed, the fat will be of a delicate pinkish shade.

The amount of salt pork purchased at a tim.e depends upon the mode of in If bought in it should be kept in a small jar or tub, half filled with brine, and a plate, smaller round than the tub, should be placed on top of the meat to press it under the brine. The parts into which the hog is cut are leg, rib piece, shoulder, neck, flank, brisket, head and feet. The legs and shoulders are usually salted and smoked. The loin of a large hog has about two or three inches fat cut with the rind. This is used for salting, and the loin fresh for When, however, the hog is small, the loin is simply scored and roasted. The ribs are treated as the loin, and when the rind and fat are cut off are spareThis piece makes a sweet roast. Flaving much more From Miss Parloa's New Cook Book and Marketing Guide, 1880, page 38.

| Breads, biscuits and muffins | Care of Food |
A great saving is made by the proper care and use oi cooked and uncooked food. The first and great consideration is perfect cleanliness. The ice chest and cellar should be thoroughly cleaned once a week; the jars in which bread is kept must be washed, scalded and dried thoroughly at least twice a week. When cooked food is placed in either the ice chest or cellar it should be perfectly cool; it will absorb an unpleasant flavor from the close atmosphere of either place. Meat should not be put directly on the ice, as the water draws out the juices. Always place it in a pan, and this may be set on the ice. When you have a refrigerator where the meat can be hung, a pan is not needed. In winter, too, when one has a cold room, it is best to hang meats there. These remarks apply, of course, only to joints and fowl. The habit which many people of putting steaks, chops, etc., in the wrapping paper on ice, is a very bad one. When purchasing meat always the trimmings sent home, as they help to make soups and sauces. Every scrap of meat and bone left from roasts and broils should be saved for the soup-pot. Trimmings from ham, tongue, corned beef, etc., should all be saved for the many relishes they will make. Cold fish can be used in salads and warmed up in many palatable ways. In fact, nothing that comes on the table is enjoyed more than the little dishes which an artistic cook will make from the odds and ends left from a former meal. By artistic cook is meant not a professional, but a woman who believes in cleanliness and hot dishes, and is something in the appearance as well as in the taste of the food, and who does not believe that a quantity of butter, or of some kind of fat, is essential to the success of nearly every The amount of food spoiled by butter, good butter too, is surprising. One should have a number of plates for cold food, that each kind may be kept by itself. The fat trimmings from and fowl should be tried out and The and fat ought to be in a pot by itself, for shortening and delicate frying. Have a stone pot for it, holding about a quart, and another, holding three or quarts, for the other kinds. The fat that has been skimmed from boiled beef and fowl, should be cooked slowly until the sediment falls to the bottom and there is not the shadow of a bubble. It can then be strained into the jar with the other fat; but if strained while bubbles remain, there is water in it spoil The fat from sausages can also be larger pot. Another pot, holding about three quarts, should be kept for the fat in which articles of food When you have finished frying, set the kettle in a for about pour the fat into the pot through a fine strainer, ful to keep back the sediment, which scrape into the soap, grease. In this way you can fry in the same fat a dozen times, while if you are not to strain it each time, the crumbs left will burn and blacken all the fat. Occasionally, when you have finished frying, cut up two or three uncooked potatoes and put the fat. Set on the back of the for ten or; set in a place for fifteen minutes longer, and The potatoes clarify the fat. Many people use ham fat for cooking purposes; and when there is no objection to the flavor, it is nice From Miss Parloa's New Cook Book and Marketing Guide, 1880, page 65.

The quicker food of all kinds cools the it keeps. be particularly remembered with soups and bread. Bread and cake must be thoroughly cooled before being put into box or jar. the steam will cause them to mold quickly. Crusts and pieces of stale bread dried in a slow oven, rolled fine crumbs on a board, and put away for or anything is breaded. of stale bread can be for griddle-cakes and puddings and for dressing for poultry and other kinds of meat. Stale cake can be made into puddings. The tub butter without a brine if kept in a sweet room. It is more healthful and satisfactory to buy the choicest tub butter and use it for table and cooking purposes to provide a fancy article for the table and use an inferior one in the preparation of the food. If, from any cause, butter becomes rancid, to each pint of it add one table-spoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of soda, and mix well; then add one pint of cold water, and set on the fire until it comes to the boiling point. Now set away to cool, and when cool and hard, take off the butter in a cake. Wipe dry and put away for cooking purposes. It will be perfectly sweet. Milk, cream and all quickly absorb strong odors; therefore, care must be taken to keep them in a cool, sweet room or in an ice chest. should be wrapped in a of clean linen and kept in a box.

It will not become discolored by any kind of cooking, and is so perfectly smooth that articles of food will not stick and burn in it as quickly as in the porcelain-lined pans. Nearly every utensil used in the kitchen is now made in granite ware. The mixing spoons are, however, not desirable, as the coating of granite peels off when the is bent.

| Puddings and desserts | Whip Churn |
In the preparation of desserts the whip churn is essential. It is a tin cylinder, perforated on the bottom and sides, in which a dasher of tin, also perforated, can be easily moved up and down. this churn is placed in a bowl of cream and the dasher is worked, air is forced through the cream, causing it to froth. The double boiler is invaluable in the It is a good plan to have two of tliem where a great deal of cooking is done. The lower part of the boiler is half filled with boiling water, and the inside is placed in By means food is cooked without danger of burning, and more rapidly than if the kettle were placed directly on the exposed to the cold air, because the boiling water in the outside kettle reaches not only the bottom, but also the sides of that in which the food is. When broiling is done the it is necessary to have a back for the double broiler, for the tin reflects the heat, and the food is cooked much sooner. The for draining straining soups, etc., and with the squash and gravy strainers, it is all is required in the way of strainers. From Miss Parloa's New Cook Book and Marketing Guide, 1880, page 77.

The third way leaves a mixed stock, which will not be clear unless whites of eggs are In following the first methods we buy clear beef specially for the stock, and know from the beginning just how much there will be when the work is completed. By the second method we are not sure, because more or less than we estimate may boil away. The third stock, being made from bones and pieces of meat left roasts, and the trimmings of raw always be changeable in quantity and is, however, a very important stock, and it be on hand. No household, even where only a moderate amount of meat is used, should be without a stock-pot. It can be kept on the back of the range or w'hile cooking is going on.

When you put the bread on the board, pat it lightly. Do not press down, but let all motions be as elastic as possible. Knead with the palm until the dough is a flat cake, and then fold. Keep doing this until the dough is light and smooth and will not stick to the board or hands. Use as little flour as possible in kneading. Do not stop until you have fully finished, for bread that has “rested” is not good. Milk can be in mixing. It be scalded, and allowed to to blood heat. One table-spoonful of lard or butter makes the bread tenderer when water is used. In cold weather some kitchens grow cold very after the fire is out. In this case the bread should be made earlier in the evening, and set in a warmer place eighty or ninety degrees); because if it begins to rise within the first two it will continue to rise, unless the temperature falls to the freezing The reason for letting the rolls rise longer than the loaves is, that the former, being smaller, are penetrated by heat much more quickly than the loaves are, and, of course, fermentation is stopped sooner; therefore, the rolls do not as much in the oven as the loaves. Rolls should be made into smooth little balls, and should be placed in even rows in a shallow pan. Breakfast rolls are first made and then rolled between the hands They are placed close toin even rows in the pan. Dinner and French rolls, after being made balls, are put on a well-floured board, and a well-floured rolling-pin, two and a in diameter, is pressed their The rolls are so placed in pans as not to touch each Being so small, and baking so quickly, they have a sweet taste of the wheat.

The “new process ” flour has so much more starch, and packs so much more closely than the “ old process,” that one-eighth is required, or one-eighth more of liquid; but if the flour is weighed, the same amount of water is taken for a pound of flour made by either process. The best is always the cheapest for bread. As there is no one article of food of so importance for the health and happiness family as bread, make it as nearly perfect as possible.

| Other recipes | To Stew |
The meat and vegetables for stews should, when it is possible, be browned in a little fat, and hot water should then be added. As as the stew comes to the it will ju;t simmer, not boil, the The pieces of meat in a stew should come to the table whole and tender and juicy, and they will be in this condition only with slow cooking.

| Other recipes | To Braise |
Braising is one of the best modes of preparing meat. are pans expressly for braising; but any deep tin, sheetiron, or granite-ware pan, with a cover, will answer quite well. The meat to be cooked must always be browned in some kind of fat, the vegetables in the same fat, and enough stock (if possible) or water be added to half cover the meat. The pan should then be covered and placed in the oven. The meat must cook slowly and thoroughly, and be basted frequently. No matter how tough, if properly braised become tender and juicy. If, however, the cooking is hurried the dish will be spoiled. From Miss Parloa's New Cook Book and Marketing Guide, 1880, page 402.

are two modes of One is to fat to prevent the article from burning or sticking; and the other is to have enough not only to cover the food, but to float it. The latter is by far the better way, as all the surface of the article is instantly hardened, and, therefore, will not absorb fat. It is also the cheaper way, because the fat can be used so many times. If tlie drippings saved meats, soups and gravies not be enough for frying purposes, buy pure lard to use with it. Many recommend buying beef suet for this same purj^ose; but food fried in suet is more liable to ab.sorl) fat than that fried in lard. The reason of is lard can be heated to a higher temperature without burning than can beef or any of the otlier fats. Butter is also often recommended for frying. If used, it should be free of salt. But aside from being so expensive, it is not so for frying purposes as fats, for it burns at a much lower temperature than either beef fat or lard. The Scotch kettle is the best utensil for It rests on a rim, lifts the bottom from the and the inside surface is polished very smooth; therefore, the fat is less liable to burn than if the surface were rough and the bottom rested on the hot The fat should heat gradually; and when tlie food is plunged it a slight smoke should rise from the It will smoke at the sides some time it has become hot enough for frying. After the food put in, let the kettle stand on the hottest part of the stove until it regains its former temperature, and then set it back where it is not so hot. In frying fish-balls, doughnuts, etc., put only a few at a time in the boiling fat; then wait a few moments for the fat to regain its former temperature, and put in a few more. Fish-balls are often spoiled by the putting of a great many in the kettle at once. The temperature of the fat is instantly reduced, and the balls absorb the fat. When an article of food is fried, drain the fat from it, and lay it on a sheet of brown paper in a warm pan. The paper will absorb any fat that may remain on the food. As as you are through frying, take the fat from the cooled a it. (See the chapter on the of Food.) directions given are followed, will be no difficulty in food fried without its being saturated with grease. To Serve. The dishes on which jellies and creams are placed should be large enough to leave a margin of mi inch It is well to pour the sauce for cold puddings around the pudding, especially if there will be a contrast in color. It is a great improvement to have the sauce poured around the article instead of over it, and to the border of the garnished with bits o’f parsley, tops or carrot When sauce is poured around meat or fish the dish must be quite hot, or the sauce will cool quickly.
