ECONOMICAL USE OF MEAT IN
THE HOME.
In these days of the l;i?h cost of
provisions, when the price of meat
especially Is soaring, it behooves the
housewife to consider well all possi
ble methods of economizing in her use
of this costly foodstuff. Perhaps she
will approve of the advice of the
vegetarian, and banish meat entirely
from her table. Whether this is a
wise course to pursue, however, is to
be questioned, for the concensus of
opinion among the majority of those
who have given special attention to
the subject is that flesh foods are a
wholesome and normal part of the
diet.
The value of a meat as a food de
pends chiefly on the presence of two
classes of nutrients, protein, which Is
essential for the construction and re
pair of the body, and fat, which, to
gether with the protein, yields energy
for muscular power and for keeping
up the temperature of the body. The
mineral matter which St contains is
also of much Importance, though small
In quantity. It is possible to obtain
all of the necessary protein and en
ergy from other materials, but for
many reasons it Is doubtful if such a
proceeding would bo either desirable
or wise for the average person. Ex
actly how much meat should be eaten
is a difficult matter to determine;
probably if the housekeeper serves
one meat dish a day, supplemented by
other materials supplying protein,
such as milk, egps, and beans, there
will be little danger of petting too
much meat or too little protein. If
the diet has a normal amount of fruit,
vegetables, and other foods, as it
should, mineral matter and other im
portant constituents will no supplied
also. It is but natural that the vigor
ous out-of-door man should require a
larger amount of meat than the ona
who lead3 a sedentary life, just as he
would also require more bread, butter
and other foods.
The first opportunity to economize
cocur3 in the marketing. To secure
the best results each housekeeper
should familiarize herself with the va
rious kinds and cut? of meats, and do
her buying in person. Different kinds
and cuts of meat vary greatly In price.
Sometimes the cheaper cuts contain
a larger proportion of refuse than the
actual cost of the edible portion.
Aside from this the advantage of the
more expensive cuts lies in tender
ness and flavor rather than in nutri
tive value. Recent experiments have
shown that there is very little differ
ence between the various cuts and
kinds of meat, so far as either the
amount of protein, or the thorough
ness and ease of digestion is con
cerned. Therefore, those who wish
to use the cheaper cuts need not feel
that in so doing their families will be
less well nourished than by the more
expensive meats.
Carefully following the market and
taking advantage cf any opportunity
that may offer also helps to reduce
the outlay for meat. A consideration
of the taste of the members of the
family will go a long way toward sav
ing waste. Economy is also furthered
by a careful serving at the table,
where each person should be given
no more than he wishes or ordinarily
eats. There can be no doubt that too
much meat is consumed in many
homes. A more healthful and eco
nomical diet may be secured by serv
ing fish, milk, eggs, cheese, etc., In
place of an excess of meat.
In rural communities co-operative
slaughter houses and storage houses
are often useful not only in reducing
the cost of meat, but in making fresh
meat available in summer. If the
size of her family or her storage fa
cilities warrant, the housekeeper may
find It advantageous to buy the whole
carcass of a small animal, such as a
pig or a lamb, or a large section of
beef, thus securing better prices.
It is In the actual preparation of
the meat that the housewife accom
plishes her greatest saving. If noth
ing better can be done with the bones
and trimmings, she can always use
them to good advantage In the soup
kettle, and she may employ the fat
for cooking, In place of the more ex
pensive butter and lard. A doublo
boiler is the best utensil to uso In try
ing out small portions of fat. There
Is no danger of burning tho fat and
the odor Is much less noticeable than
If it is heated in a dish set directly
over the fire. A good method to fol
low Is to pour boiling water over the
fat, to boil thoroughly, and then to set
It away to cool. The cold fat may be
removed In a solid cake and any Im
purities clinging to It may be scraped
off, as they will be found at the bot
tom of the layer. By repeating this
process two or three times a cake of
clean, white fat may be obtained. A
slight burned taste or similar objec
tionable flavors often can be removed
from fat by means of potatoes. After
melting the fat, put into It thick slices
of raw potato; heat gradually. When
the fat ceases to bubble and the po
tatoes are brown, strain through a
cloth placed In a wire strainer. When
rendering the drippings of fat meat,
add a small onion (do not cut It), a
few leaves of summer savory and
thyme, a teaspoonful of salt, and a lit
tle pepper. This is enough for a pint
of fat. Keep the drippings covered
and in a cool place.
By consulting Farmers' Bulletins
291 and 526, which 6he may obtain by
writing to the United States depart
ment of agriculture, Washington, D.
C, the housewife will learn many new
methods of using "leftover" meats and
smaller amounts of meat than are nec
essary when the meat alone is served.
Dumplings and meat pies are useful
In extending the flavor of meat, and
borders of rice, hominy, or mashed
potatoes are examples of the same
principles. By serving some prepara
tion of flour, rice, hominy, or other
food rich in starch, a dish in which
the meat flavor is extended through
a large amount of material is
secured. A good dish for eking out
a small quantity of meat Is a ragout
of mutton made with farina balls, ac
cording to the following recipe: The
measurements given in all the recipes
call for a level spoonful or a level
cupful, as the case may be.)
Ragout of Mutton. Ono and a half
pounds neck of mutton cut into small
pieces, one tablespoonful butter, one
tablespoonful flour, ono onion, one car
rot, one-half can peas, two cups hot
water, one teaspoonful salt, one-quarter
teaspoonful pepper, one bay leaf,
sprig parsley, one clove.
Farina Balls. One-quarter cup farl-
na, one cup milk, one-quarter tea
spoonful salt, one-eighth teaspoonful
pepper, onion juice, yolk of one egg.
Put butter in frying pan. When melt
ed add Hour and brown. Add carrot
and onion, cut in dice. Remove veg
etables and add meat, searing well.
To meat and vegetables add hot water
and seasonings. Put in a suitable ket
tle, cover and simmer two hours. Add
peas ten minutes before serving in a
dish with farina balls made as fol
lows: Cook farina and milk In double boil
er one hour. Add reasoning and well
beaten yolk. Stir well and cool.
When cold roll into balls. Dip in egg
and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Rice
may bo used in a similar way.
PEONY IS POPULAR FAVORITE
It Is Hardy, Easy of Culture and
Lends Itself Well to Beautify
ing of Home.
Among all our herbaceous plants
there perhaps not one that stands
hither in popular favor than the
peony. And it richly deserves it3
popularity because of its great hardi
ness, its ease of culture, its magnifi
cent range of rich and delicate col
ors, its wonderful profusion of bloom
and its tenacity of life.
The writer knows many specimens
of the old variety cultivated exten
sively by our grandmothers, officinalis
rubra plena, that have been growing
in the same place in the old gardens
for more than half a century and
without exception those that have re
ceived good care are as vigorous and
healthy today as any young plants,
and year after year they give a crop
of glorious fine flowers. Many of
these old plants have grown to be
clumps five and six feet across and
one can often count hundreds of blos
soms and buds in various stages of
development on each plant.
Such plants as these are what are
needed to make the attractions of a
garden permanent. There is no other
hardy herbaceous plant which can be
used with such fine effect iu the bor
der.
Scattered here and there among
shrubbery it produces a most satisfac
tory show of color at a time when
most shrubs are not in blcom.
Probably, however, it is most strik
ingly effective when planted In large
beds. If it can be given a back
ground of evergreens, its rich colors
show up to great advantage. Shrub
bery of any kind as a background
brings its colors into strong relief and
one should always plant if possible
with that aim in view. If partially
shaded all the better. Tho culturo
of the peony Is simple in the extreme.
It does best in a rather stiff loam, pre
ferring it to a lighter soil, because
it likes to feci the earth firm about
its roots.
While It prefers such a soil, it will
do very well indeed in a sandy loam,
or almost, any soil, provided it is
rich in the elements of plant develop
ment. To grow good peonies one must
make good use of fertilizers, prefer
ably old, well rotted cow manure. Un
less this is done you cannot expect a
vigorous growth of stalks and follago
and generous crops of large richly
colored flowers.
It is hardly possible to uso too much
manure about it, if it is old enough
to be black and crumbles easily un
der the application of the hoe. It
should be dug into the soil about
the roots of the plants, taking care,
however, not to dig close or deep
enough to disturb them.
There is no plant that resents a dis
turbance of its roots more. Dig Into
a dumb to recure a "toe" for a neigh
bor and very often the parent plant
will refuse to bloom the following sea
son. So hardy Is the peony that It
Is not necessary to give it winter
nrotectlon at the extreme north If
its roots are put deep Into the ground
If given shallow planting the frost
will often leave them badly . unless
covered with coarse manure or mulch
of some kind.
The roots ought to be at least six
Inches beneath the surface. While
winter protection Is not necessary, It
is advisable because It prevents tax
ing the vitality of the plant excessive

winter.

810 East Elm St., Streator, 111. "A

looked like a disease of some kind; It
was all red and a heavy white crust
on it. Everybody kept out of my way,
afraid it would spread. I lost rest at
