Refrigeration, canning and increased facilities for transportation have been important factors In the development.

Connective tissue, fascia and nerves are tough to chew, and the thinner the animal, fascia and nerves are tough to chew, and the thinner the animal, the larger pro- portion of these structures, there will be in the roast. Blood vessels, lym- phatic vessels and adipose tissue also ' make up part of the roast, but do not add to its toughness. - Sources of Meat. In Ontario the principal source of meat is from our farm animals— a cattle, sheep, swine, rabbits and poultry. In many places, the flesh of horses, dogs and cats 15 used.

On opening the envelope it was found to contain one hundred dollars in money and the following ,address:— To Mrs. Parker and Miss McNaughton We have gathered here as repre- sentatives of your many friends in Brussels to express to you both our love and esteem for the enriching in- fluence of your lives apon the com- munity during your long residence here.

LONDON, ONTARIO Also at Toronto, Wlndeor and Detroit Meat, immediately after slaughter has an alkaline reaction, and has a sweetish unpleasant flavor. It is also quite tough. The hardening of mus- cles or rigor mortis that follows slaughter, Is accompanied by a num- ber of changes that fortunately im- prove the meat. The principal of these changes are as follows: the de- velopment of sarcolactic acid, the softening of the muscle fibers, and connective tissue as the result of bacterial and antolytio enzymes, the development of more pleasant flavors. It is not advisable to use meat im- mediately after slaughter, if ice re- frigeration, or other proper storage Is at band. Two or ;three weeks in cold storage at a temperature of 88-98 degrees Farenheit is well worth while in improving the edible quality of meats. Nutritive Value. The nutritive value of meat de- pends upon the presence of proteins and fats. The meat bases, or nitro- genous extracts have little food value. These meat bases are the principal substances In beef extracts. Beef ex- tracts, while of no great nutritive importance, are valued because their Ingredients, are in a state of solution and therefore easily absorbed by peo- ple whose digestion is at fault.. Meat Inspection. So long as animals are permitted to be slaughtered in any barn or cellar, it is impossible to exercise a proper control over meat as sold by butcher shops In the smaller cities and towns. Ln iho large city abat- toirs in Toronto and Montreal, the Government inspectors send to tho tank carcasses that are not fit for human food, approximately one per cent, of all slaughtered. No one is inspecting the cut In the country, or small town kill, and apparently everything goes to market. It is un- pleasant to °lose one's teeth on a restated, tubercular lesion, or on the cystic Corm of a tape worm, while eating dinner. But we are doing It, and in our Ignorance do not seem to mind. If all meats were Govern- ment impeded, the per capita con- sumption of meat would Increase.
