Trustworthy Recipe for the Famous
Philadelphia Croquettes.

trustworthy Recipe for the Famous
Philadelphia CrOquettes.
The formula for their preparation is
for a large pair of fowls, weighing
twelve pounds, or two pairs weighing
seven pounds the pair. Select those
having the largest amount of breast
meat. Boil sweetbread for three min
utes, put 1t into cold water, and after
an hour take it out and drain. Boil
Calls brain for five minutes and set
aside to cool. Boil half pint of cream
with the same measure of bread crumbs,
sifted clean of crusts and Jumps. Boil
the chickens till tender in just enough
water to cover them; when the broth is
cold skim off all the grease, then boil it
down to half pint. Remove from the
chickens the skin, fat and tendOns; cut
off all the brown meat and reserve it for
family use the following day, either to
fricasee, stew with giblets or to mix with
an equal amount of roast veal and make
into breakfast croquettes, to be eaten
hot Chop the white meat with the
sweetbread and brain, quite fine, first
adding a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, the lightly grated outer
yellow rind and the juice of large
lemon, one heaped teaspoonful Of
salt and a half teaspoonful each of
powdered mustard, mace and white
pepper. Cut fine to shallots or one
small onion, fry with four ounces of but
ter, add tablespoonful of flour and
stir till smooth; put it quickly into a
saucepan, add the chopped meat, the
broth jelly and the soaked bread
crumbs; stir briskly, and as soon as hot
add the yelks of four eggs, stir a little
and take off the fire. When cool enough
to handle mix and chop it lightly,
spread on a platter and set in the ice
box to stiifen. After an hour or two
mix and mold as follows: Sprinkle a
moulding board with sifted cracker
dust; take a heaping tablespoonful of
the meat paste and form the croquettes
in the shape either of roll or a small
sugar loaf, the latter being generally
preferred. For this use deep, pointed
wine-glass lightly battered There are,
also, tin molds made expressly for this
use. When all are done dip them, one
by one, into well-beaten eggs, and roll
in fnely-sifted bread crumbs; after an
hour dip and roll again and set into the
ice-box till wanted. Lastly, in enough
very hot lard to float them, fry to a
rich, golden-brown color, turning them,
with great care, while cooking, to keep
them shapely. A convenient thing for
this purpose is the fiat frying basket
of timed wire. Serve on napkin and
garnish with sprays of parsley and
water-cress. The above will make
about one and half dozen croquettes.

COmmon-Sense Remedies for Their Various
Affections.
Milk fever in ewes is not very COM
mon. The first symptoms are weakness,
dizziness, unsteady gait, loss of appetite
and twitching of the ears and hind
legs. This is more common in highly
fed and plethoric animals of all kinds.
The time of attack is usually a few days
before weaving time. Give the follow
ing, after separating the eve from the
flock: Nitrate of potash, one dram;
sulphate of magnesa, three ounces;
molasses, three ounces. This may be
given in warm linseed Cruel. This will
open the bowels, or if it should not, in
about ten hours repeat the dose. When
the bowels have been evacuated give
twice day the above dose, with the ex-
ception OF the sulphate of magnesia, as
long as the fever continues. After the
fever has subsidized give nourishing foods
of the bone and muscle-formmg variety
and tonics, such as the charcoal pow
ders.
Garget in ewes may be known by the
swelling and heat of the udder. 1t is
usually more or less sensitive and some-
times exceedingly so. Sometimes black
spots appear on the udder, which break
and make very stubborn sores. SILVER
ing and lameness are sometimes pres
emit Foment the udder, and give in-
ternally the following: Oil of turpen-
tine, half ounce; sulphate of magnesia,
four ounces; powdered ginger, one
ounce. Put the lamb to the teat as
soon as possible.
Rheumatism sometimes attacks
lambs. The limbs of some of them be-
come stiff, causing a difficulty and
awkwardness in motion. There are
cramps in the neck, and the animal
manifests an inclination to remain
quiet and listless. The bowels soon
become constipated. Give the follow
ing at the commencement of the dis
ease: Powdered sulphuretted anti
mony, five parts, and fresh butter one
part Mix, and then administer guam
tity the size of hazel nut three times a
day.
If lambs are troubled with constipa-
ton give spoonful of castor oil, as we
have recommended for sheep. After
this give tonic every day such as this
