To Roast a Goose. — Make a stuffing of bread, butter, salt, pepper, sage, thyme and onions : it will require but little but- ter, as geese are generally fat ; wash it well in salt and water, wipe it, and rub the inside with salt and pepper. A common sized goose will roast in an hour, and a small one in less time ; pour off nearly all the fat that drips from the goose, as it will make the gravy too rich. Make hash gravy of the giblets the same as for turkey. Ducks. — Wild ducks are generally cooked without stuffing; and for those that like them rare, fifteen or twenty minutes will be long enough; for common ducks, a stuffing should be made the same as for a goose, they will roast in half an hour. Cur- rant jelly and apple sauce should be eaten with ducks and geese. 50 HOW WE COOK IN TENNESSEE. W. M. Luter & Co. Ttoe Points Druggists. Have everything to be found in a first- class Drug Store.
