Boil until tender, season with pepper and salt, then, pouring off the water, fry brown in butter. This is a splendid dish; the parboiling takes out all the wild taste which ducks usually have. Old prairie chickens may be treated in the same way. Roast CrOOSe — Prepare the goose the same as a chicken. Fill with potato or onion stuffing, being careful not to fill it too full, as this dress- ing will always swell in cooking. Place it in a baking-pan with 1 cupful of water and 2 tea- spoonfuls of salt. Bake in a quick oven, allow- ing 25 minutes for each pound, basting it fre- quently.
