Codfish Balls — No. 1. — Soak the cod in cold water in the morning, or over night. Change the water, and let it scald for an hour. Then boil five or six minutes. Chop very fine, and mix well with potatoes, using equal quantities of fish and po- tatoes, and adding butter, pepper, and milk, to soften. Make in small cakes and fry in lard. Shredded Codfish Balls. — A delightful breakfast dish. Use shredded codfish, which is already cooked and can be ready at a half hour's notice, an equal bulk of mashed potatoes, work into a stiff batter by adding a lump of butter, and sweet milk, and if you want them very nice, a beaten egg. Flour your hands and make the mixture into balls. Drop into boiling lard or good dripping and fry a light brown. Plainer fish cakes may be made of the codfish and potatoes alone. — Marion Har- land. Codfish Balls. — One-quarter pound fish to three-quarter pounds potatoes, one egg to moisten
