Every person In the country la In
terested in the price of meat and w ill
therefore also be Interested Is a move
ment which the western packers are
preparing to undertake to teach the
Amerlcau public that other portions of
a beef are aa nutritious and. when
pro,»erly cooked, aa palatable aa the
eoetller cuts. The ultimate eud will be
tBe lowering of prices on all grades of
meats, especially In those cuts which
•r e now In chief demand.
In abort, the western packers are
preparing a campaign to teach the pub
lic to buy and eet the whole “critter”
and not a few choice cuts alone, from
the sale of which the retailers say they
must obtain tbe coat of the entire csr-
t core because of their Inability to* sell
the cheap cuts. Thia campaign la to
^e carried on through the vetall deal
ers o f the country, who w ill be coached
on tbs subject so fhorooghly that they
* will be competent to teach th rtr cus
tomers.
The peckers say one of the chief res
eons why beef la not cheaper In Amer
ica la that the people demand the best
cuts and leave ao much of the so called
Inferior grades on the hands of the
peckers that they are forced to keep
the price of the best cuts up to counter
act the waste, but If tbe sales of the
cheaper grades were Increased the cost
• f ail would decrease materially.
One of tbe packers* arguments w ill
be taken from the year book of the
United States department of agricul
ture, w ritten by George K . Holmes.
• chief of the bureau of statistics. M r.
Holmes points out the mistake made
by people of limited means In selecting
the most expensive cuts when many of
the unsought portions are equally or
even more nutritious. One of Mr.
Holmes* oomments la as follows;
“Although epicureans admit and
chemists demonstrate that the neck
piece Is toothsome and nutritious. It
bears the lowest price. In fact. It
would hardly bo considered respectable
to ask the butcher for a piece of the
neck. Perhaps a lew order of proficien
cy In the houaewlfe’s cooking in the
past gave to the neck piece Its low
place. The story might have been d if
ferent had the cook known how to
utilise the meat In the making of at
tractive and delicious dishes. The point
o f the argument Is that cheap cuts of
a good carcass are as good as expen
sive pieces When Judiciously selected
and property Cooked.’’
American butchers complain that the
average housewife has little knowledge
of the a rt of cooking. She does not
know bow to make a tasty dish of the
cheap grades of m eat She therefore
buys the beet steaks, slaps them In the
frying pan and places them on the ts
hid when she thinks they are properly
cooked. On the other side of the Atlan
ttc the cuts are placed on a more equal
footing, the demand for the different
cuts bring more general. On this side
the laborer’s wife la more likely to or
der chops or steaks than to ask for
brisket or neck, and in consequence It
pays the big packers to send barrels
and barrels of brisket and tb e cheaper
cuts to Bnglnnd. while In many cases
the American botcher» would prefer
purchasing more of the portions from
which they take the so called “choice*’
outs te stocking up with the entire car-
Casa.
W h ile the tenderioln Is the tendereat
and la considered the most delicate
cot. It Is sot so Juicy or so well flavor
ed as other portions loss tender, and It
1s not nearly ao nutritious aa parts
Which require more cooking.
And
both tenderloin and sirloin contain leas
nutritive value than Is found In the
cheeper meats.
Another government expert says that
a ebuck steak after careful cooking
e o m p e 's favorably with a round or
alrtoia from the same carcass.
