MARKETING
The term marketing means to the ordinary housekeeper
the buying of meats and vegetables only, but the buying
of all articles necessary for housekeeping should be in-
cluded under this head.
In order to market well the housekeeper must know
what articles to buy in quantity and when to buy to the
best advantage.
It is much more economical proportionately to buy for
a large family than for a small one.
Staple articles such as bread flour, rice, spices, and so
forth, should be bought in large quantities. Vegetables

which keep well, such as potatoes, squashes, turnips, and
so forth, should be bought in the early fall to last until
spring, provided there is a cool, dark place in which to
keep them. Meats must necessarily be purchased as
needed, unless one has a large refrigerator in which to
hang them.
Fish, with the exception of salt or smoked kinds, should
be bought only when absolutely fresh. Fruits such as
apples and pears may be bought in large quantities, but
perishable fruits in small amounts only.

A side of beef weighs on the average about 450 pounds.
Beef when first cut is dark purple, but turns red on ex-
posure to the air. Good beef has a heavy layer of fat on the
outside, which is yellowish white and crumbly ; the inside
fat is white. Best quality beef has a large percentage of
fat and a small proportion of water.
Lamb and Mutton
Lamb and mutton are divided into halves, or " sides," by
cutting the entire length of the backbone the same as beef.
The fore quarter is divided into the —

The best lamb is from a creature eight to twelve weeks
old. Lamb may always be distinguished from mutton by
the inner redness of the bone. Mutton should have a
large amount of white hard fat, and the flesh should be
fine-grained and pink to red in color.
The strong mutton flavor may be lessened by removing
the pink outer skin, and also by taking off the caul before
cooking the leg.
