PRAIRIE CHICKENS—STEAMED AND BAKED: Stuff them, after cleaning, with a dressing of bread crumbs and seasoning of pepper and salt, and mixed with melted butter. Sage, onion or summer savory may be added, if liked. Secure the fowl firmly with a needle and twine. Steam in a steamer until tender. Then remove to a dripping pan, dredge with flour, pepper and salt, and brown delicately in the oven. Baste with melted butter. Garnish with parsley and lumps of currant jelly
