To twelve pigeons take one-half pound of salt pork, cut into thin slices, and fry it in the kettle in which you are to pot the birds. When this is cooked take out the slices and lay in the birds, with an onion chopped fine and three gills of water, cover up very close, and add fre- quently flour from the dredging-box, and salt and pepper to your taste. Let them boil for three-quarters of an hour, then add a thickening of browned flour and butter, and lay several halves of crackers in on the birds, to steam and be served witli the pork around the dish. It is nice to roll each bird in the brown thickening before putting it into the gravy. A Mood Purifier.
