The great demand for one part of the Wef, It Is declared, la rcuponnl- bta for the high prlco of the so-called fancr cuts, while better meat, from a nutritive standpoint, welaht for weight of the cut. U a, drug on the market. To buy meat intelligently it la neces sary to know the nature of the cuts. peclal!y with reference to the propor tions of lean meat, fat and bona they contain, and tho food value of meat from different parts of tho carcass. VncU 8am Is endeavoring to educate the American people how to purchase the most nutritive cuts of beef and thereby lend his aid In reducing the cost of living. An expert of the Depart ment of Agriculture rooking this ub Jcct an extensive study, says: "A larjra majority of meat consum er have no knowledge whatever' of these matters, but make their selec tions of meat aolely according to hablw or fancy tn fact, but little accurate data along this line have, hitherto been, available to those who wished to buy 9teats on a rational basts. As a result, a few welt known cuts are greatly In demand, and the remainder of tho car cass la ti drug on the market. To such an extreme hao this condition developed that a jwrtton Of the carcass 0olns and TUw), forming only abput one-fourth of its weight. TtPEWnt neftrly onj-half of Its retail cost.

An increased demand for those por tions of tho carcass which arc now difficult for the butcher to dispose of would contributu largely toward ft more atabla condition of trade and thu en able tho producer tq operate with greater confidence and economy.

It' will be observed that the market prices of the cheaper cuts correspond much more closely to their net cost of lean meat than. Is true of the higher priced steaks and roasts. On the whole, the Investigation of the Agricultural department' experts shows that tho cheaper cuts of beef ar by far the most economical sources both of lean and of total edible meat Including fat and lean. No correlation exists between market prices arid the proportion of flavoring substances contained In various portions of the carcass, and cooking tests made by tho government Indicate -that the proportion of waste and shrinkage ig not neee-sarlly greater in the cheaper than In the more expensive cutsl H Is evident, therefore, that retail prices of beef cuts are determined chiefly by considerations other than their food value, such a iimii,u Krain, coior, general appearance and con- enienco oroioKlng.
