The New Basin.

THE WORK or LAYING WATER MAINE TO BE Pho
CEEDED WITH.
Now that the City Council has definitely dec-
ded what kind of a basin is to be built, there
will be no more delays in getting ready and lay
ing mains from the site of the new basin to all
parts of the city.
Owing to the adverse weather of winter, no
work can be done upon the basin proper until
spring, but in the meantime preparations will be
made for vigorous prosecution of the work az
soon as spring opens
The Water Committee will not meet until
| Monday evening, at which time the main water
| pipes will be ordered, and the streets selected
| upon which they are to be laid.
| bill will also be prepared to send TO the Leg
slature authorizing the City Council to issue
| bonds for the laying OF the water mains.
| The change OF programme by the City Coun-
| ell in building smaller basin, while great saw
ing in money to the city, renders useless much

| bly, between "A 900 or $1,000.

Making Sausages.

John H. King gives in the German
town Telegraph" the following recipes
for making sausages:
First procure q good machine (Which
will cost but few dollars) for cutting
sausages, instead Of doing it by the
very tiresome old mode of chopping by
hand with cleaver, collect your meat,
containing about one-fourth fat, as taken
from the hog, see that it is free from
bone, sinew, gristle, &c, wash in tepid
water, but do not soak it; then to every
90 pounds of chopped meat, add
4 ounces of sage,
10 ounces of salt,
ga ounces black pepper,
l heaping tablespoonful red pepper,
l ordinary tablespoonful of saltpctre.
As there is no standard of tastes,
some may think the seasoning too high,
and others the ingredients too few -
Every one should, therefore, to secure
his own taste, try it before using the
recipe upon too large a scale This
sausage is improved by age; put in
castings and smoke moderately.
To those desiring more flavor of sage
and less of pepper, can take to every
90 pounds of meat,
10 ounces of salt,
ounces of sage.
tablespoonful black pepper.
Stir we'll with the hand, and pack in
tin pans; when full dip a cloth the size
of the top of the pan in melted lard
and spread over the pans then turn
them together and remove to q cool
place.
1t is a common way among house
keepers to "cut and try" that is, add
a little more salt and little more pep
per and sage, tasting and retasting, and
calling in the aid of the palates Of
others, till the thing has too much pep
per and salt. and is probably spoiled.
The above proportions are simple, easy
and good But should you desire to
change to suit ones taste, be cautious
in using the seasoning, as it is easy to
add, but impossible to take out again ;
and remember sausages become more
salty as they dry.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1875-11-06

without sign of grease. Raw pota-
toes are treated in the same way if
you wish Saratoga potatoes" slice
raw potatoes very thin, cut the slices
into strips, and put them in ice-water;
then, when the fat is HOT, dry the potato
slivers in towel quickly, put them into
the wire basket and into the fat while
still cold and crisp We of course do
not do this as general thing, but many
ask about Saratoga potatoes, which
may be eaten in white kid gloves"
and we give it in passing. These two
examples will, we think, justify US in
the statement that frying properly IN
derstood is not only quick and con-
venient mode of cooking, but its results,
while acceptable to the palate, are not
of necessity more deleterious in the
stomach than other forms of cooking
But understand that by frying we do
not mean simmcring and sizzling in fat,
but the sudden immersion into PLENTY
OF FAT that is SUFFICIENTLY HOT. If
these two ends can not be accomplished
then don't fry. "Ah, but plenty of
fat, it is all very well for rich people,
but WE cannot afford it." This is a
mistake; it simply requires more to
start with, but the actual consumption
of fat is less. An ordinary family will
probaly do four kinds of frying, and
should have as many stone jars; one
for fat to fry meats one for fish; one
for potatoes, and a fourth for fritters,
doughnuts, and such like On farm,
where lard is home product, it makes
no difference whether the lard is used
in this way or in small dabs at time.
Always have plenty of fat, so that the
article to be fried need never rest on the
bottom of the pan. Have the fat al
ways so hot that the surface of what
ever is put into it is cooked, or scared
at once there will then be no soaking
of fat. The French cooks call it sIEZ-
ING, the moment the thing goes into
the fat, that should be hot enough to
sieze it at once The wire basket is
great aid in frying properly, as it al
lows the articles to be all put in and all
| taken out at the same instant, and
nothing can ever come in contact with
the bottom of the kettle or pan. We
find it of frequent use; living ne ar the
sea, where scolops, clans, oysters,
smelts, Ga very small delicious fish),
and many such things, not common
inland. are readily obtained, we find it
of frequent use for these; and for balls
made of mashed potatoes; those made
of meat and potatoes. or whatever is to
be fried, that ordinarily may come in
contact with the bottom of the pan, this
is in frequent used.
