Skin rabbit, and if dark and blood- shot soak in strong salt water several hours to draw out blood. Cut in pieces, roll each piece in flour, fry a good brown on all sides, sprinkle over pepper and spice, all the flour that was left from the dredging, and the onion. Cover with hot water and

simmer two hours. This should be plenty for six people. In buying the wild rabbits the smaller and lighter colored fleshed ones are the younger and better; also choose one with fat adhering to the inside, as it will be more tender than a poor one. Wild pheasants, quail or grouse that are old are good prepared in the same manner. Gray squirrels are fine pre- pared in the same manner. — Mrs. Crow.
