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.

cramp and colic, with which we have

A Good No vie at Home.
It was from the people of Lowell and
vicinity that Hood's Sarsaparilla received
its first words of praise and recommen-
dation. Their good words led many
others to use it, with uniform excellent
results, and thus the knowledge of its
curative power has become very widely
extended. We are pleased to state that
the popularity of Hood's Sarsaparilla lias
continued undiminished in our own
home, and is now, as it has been for
years, the leading and most successful
medicine for purifying the blood ami
toning and strengthening the system. It
would require a volume to contain all the
praise Lowell people have given Hood's
Sarsaparilla.
