Herald. “All trades have their tricks,” is a proverb of whieh many people are willing to argue the trath, but few are ready to admit that the wands that are placed on their tables have undergone before reaching the kitchen a contaminating and perhaps infectious contact, the mere men- tion of which is disgusting. Yet the truth, al- though disagreeable, is at times salutary, even when it may usurp the functions of a medicine and act as an emetic. Hence this article. we on bag tthe ot owe ee jarket, said to a d ay: ty rp ata possible the sale of ‘blown’. mutton. It is an outrage upon cleanliness and.health.” The word “blown” ipimediately suggested a significance familiar to butchers—the condition of meat in which maggots haye been deposited. But this, pong as it..ie to even a strong ap- ite, is not nearly so ing as the mean- ing of the term as then by the marketman. “The practice of ‘blowing’ meat,” continued he, “4g one that the public knawe very little about, and lucky for it that it doesn't. But it isa very old one, probably quite as-old as the trade of slaughtering animals.) It ig forbidden by stat- ute, but in this city this part of the statute has never been enforced.” ; z TO BE READ ‘AFTER DINNER. “How is meat ‘blowh 7"? “In the same manner that,a bladder or a bub- ble is blown—with the human lips and breath. In elanghter-houses where ‘t is practised the ‘dresser’ who begins thé process of skinning the animal pricks the ‘fell’ on the leg as soon as he lays it bare with the point of his knife, and then applying his mouth to the aperture forces his breath into it.

Asa matter of fact, three-fourths of them are chéwers of tobacco, asmaller but considerable proportion of them are large imbibers of that cheap sort of liquor which goes by the generic name of ‘rum,’ and the Lord only knows how many have infected constitutions. Who could eat a chop or a cut of Toast mutton with the consciousness of this pos- sibility in his mind?” “What meats are blown?” “Veal, mutton and lamb, but chiefly the two last. A gread deal of blown mutton and lamb is sold in the market. It can hardly be detected by an ordinary housekeeper; and there are, in- deed, many dealers In meat who cannot recog- nize it. A man like me, however, who has served his apprenticeship in a slaughter-house cannot be deceived. Beware of the leg of mut- ton, lamb or veal that looks unnaturally plump. If you thrust a sharp instrament into it sud- denly you will probably hear a slight hissing sound. It isthe foul breath of some butcher escaping, such of it at least as has not already been absorbed by the surrounding tissnes.” The dealer Illustrated his words with a quar- ter oflamb that had been hanging on his own stall. “Take a hind saddle in that condition and work the legs,” said he with a laugh, “and it would make a first-rate pair of bellows.” “PLAITING.” “There is another practice of butchers,” con- tinued he, ‘which is to be condemned, although it is not s0 revolting. It is that of ‘plaiting’ lamb. It is done by all butchers, and consists in wrapping about the legs and loin of the hind quarter of the carcass firata mutton caul andthen the caul of the lamb itself, both being pinned tightly down with wooden skewers. The prin- clpal object of this is to'givé additional weight to the lle or quartér, making the consumer pay the of lamb for‘mutton fat. The caul, you understand, is the envelope of fat which surrounds the organs contaitied im the abdomen. In winter the quality of the meat does not de- sequence of this practice, but in summer it doek greatly. The caul con- fines the air within the cavity of the loin and pelvis, where it quickly becomes vitiated and ens putrefaction. -A few butchers in warm. weather pin the caul'about the legs in such a manner as to admit of's fre circulation of air between them, and this method is much supe- rior to the other. ‘Blowing’ and ‘plaiting’ both cause the meat to spoil a. great deal more quick], than it otherwise would . a if A protest against the le of “blown” or “plaited” meat in this éity: es signed by about sixty Washington market ‘dealers about ten ve ago and poeple 0 the mayor.

Mutton requires long keeping after killing, even more imperatively than beef, not less than & week in a cool place being necessary, while in the winter at the north three or four are quite practicable. This protracted hanging, if not too Jong, does away with the ‘‘woolly” taste so often complained of as characteristic of mutton and makes even tough meat tender. Perfect mutton will be firm and juicy, a rather dark red in color, and with a good deal of hard, clear, white fat, much more in proportion than beef. The animal is divided into sides and quar- ters like beef, the hind quarter, consisting of leg and loin, being the most desirable cut. As such a quarter in a fine animal will weigh from twenty to thirty pounds, a small family will find the leg alone sufficient. This, though higher in price than any other cut, has much less propor- tion of bone and is therefore most economical. The loin includes six ribs, the meat being rather lighter and more delicate than that of the leg. The flank should be removed, as it dries up in Toasting, and a trimmed piece, though higher in price, is more really economical, A saddle of mutton, a favorite Virginia roast, is simply the two loins joined. Chops are cut from the loin, called “long” when the flank is left on an ‘short” when it is removed. Occasionally the bone is taken from the'long chops and they are sold rolled up, but let no one be persuaded by the attractive appearance to buy them, as they are tough and stringy and dear at any price. The forequarter includes both shoulder and breast. The shoulder blade, dreaded by all carvers, can be taken out bya small French boning knife, and the shoulder stuffed and sewed or trussed in shape makes a good roast. The breast can also be roasted, but is better used in stews or cut into rib chops. Mutton costs less than beef, but is really dearer, as it good it must be very fat, and the fat is practi- cally useless in cooking, save that a very small sa wine can be, if carefully prepared, mixed with dripping or lard for frying croquettes or anything that has been rolled in egg and crumbs. For potatoes or ordinary frying it gives a rank and unpleasant flavor, and unless the cook is exceptionally careful may better be used as soap grease. Lamb is in season from May to September, and is cut and sold like mutton, but cannot be kept, as it taints much more readily. The bones ves reddish lgok. and the fat is firm and white. Whether veal should be eaten at all is a dis- pared point among dieticians, and it requires long and very thorough cooking. being even then much less digestible than beef or mutton. It is cat in precisely the same manner. The lower part of the leg, called the knuckle, is es- pecially good for white soup; the itself can be roasted whole for a large family, but affords several pieces, the fillet being the nicest. This fillet is simply a piece of solid meat from the upper part of the leg, and can be larded or stuffed or simply roasted. The neck and breast are used chiefly for stewing. The fat of veal should be firm and white and the lean have a pinkish tinge. If the calf was too young the meat will be bluizh and soft and flabby. “Bob veal,” as it is then called, is ac- tual poison, no m Save diseased pork, seem- ing to have more power for harm. From April to September is the season, and the price isthen at Its lowest. The fillet ranges from twenty to thirty cents a pound; cutlets from the leg usu- VEGETABLE COMPOUND, CHAUNCEY J.
