DoN'T WASTE IT.-It not unfrequent-
ly happens in family that quantities
of cooked meats remain on hand. Such
should be potted. Out the meat from
the bone, chop fine, and season high
with salt, pepper, cloves and cinnamon.
Moisten with vinegar, wine, brandy,
cider, and sauce, or melted butter, ac-
cording to the kind of meat, or to suit
your own taste. Then pack it tight
into stone jar, and cover over the top
with about quarter of an inch of melt
ed butter. It will keep months, and
always afford ready and excellent
dish for the breakfast or tea table.

signed and down he came.
