Six quarts of water in an iron pot, 2 medium size chickens, 2 slices bacon. Boil until meat is falling to pieces. Take out and chop fine, putting meat and bones back in pot. Add 6 large tomatoes, 1 pint butter beans, 6 medium size onions, season with salt, red and black pepper to taste. After this has cooked for 1 hour, add 6 Irish potatoes cut in slices. One-half hour before serving add 6 ears corn with grain split, and ¼ lb. of butter. Best to cook in thick iron pot and constantly stir to prevent burning.

Six pounds of lean beef cut fine, 6 quarts of water and boil from four to five hours, then add 1 carrot, 1 turnip and 1 very small onion, and boil until carrot and turnip are thoroughly done. Take off fire and set aside until next morning, remove the grease and add white of 1 egg. Put on fire until heated, adding salt to taste, strain it, and put enough burnt sugar and water to color it like brandy.
