Avoid having large joints that would leave much cold meat on hand in cold weather. Not many families care much about cold meat when the thermometer is near freezing point, and twice-cooked meat is not nearly so nourishing as fresh, however savoury it may be made.
[OUR PUZZLE POEM REPORT: A PUZZLE-SOLVER.]
SOLUTION.
A Puzzle-Solver.
1. There once was a maiden who tried
To find a new fall for her pride,
By attempting to solve,
Without earnest resolve,
The puzzle we monthly provide.
2. Ignoring the fanciful guile
With which we these efforts compile,
Her attempt was slap-dash,
And was fated to clash
With all proper notions of style.
3. So, finding her failure complete,
She fell at the Editor's feet—
Metaphorically—
And acknowledged that she
Was cured of her latest conceit.
