Thanksgiyin. Roast Pig.

Take choice fat pig six weeks old,
not younger, though it may be a little
older. Have it carefully killed and
dressed, aud thoroughly washed. Trim
out carefully with sharp, narrow-bladci
knife tho inside of the mouth aud ears,
CIT ous the tongue anatehop off tue end
of the suout. Rub the pig well with a
mixture of salt, pepper and pounded
sage, and sprinkle it rather literally with
red pepper, and dash outside, too.
Make rich stuffing of bread crumbs
corn bread stuffing is de rigeur for
pig, though you can put half of one and
half of the other inside of Mr.. Piggy if
somebody insists on loaf bread stuffing.
II you use corn bread, have thick, rich
pone of bread baked, and crumble it as
soon as 1t is cool enough to handle, sea-
son it highly with black and red pepper,
sage, thyme, savory marjoram,' minced
onion-just enough to flavor it, and
plenty of fresh butter; molsten it we'll
with stock, cream, or even hot water.
Stuff the pig well and sew it up closely.
If you have tin fsaster and open fire,
the pig will be roasted by that much
better. If you have not, put the pig in
u long pan and set it in the oven, and
leave the stove door open until the pig
begins to cook, gradually closing the
poor, so that the cooking will not be
done too fast. The pig must be we'll
dredged with -four when put in the pan.
Mix some -four and butter together in
plate, and pour about a quart of hot
water in the pan with the pig when it is
put on the fire. Have lardingmop in
the plate of -four and butter, and mop
the pig frequently with the mixture
while it is roasting.
If roaster is used, set it about two
feet from the fire at first, but continue
to move it nearer and nearer as the pig
cooks. Basic it frequently with the
water in the pan betweenwhiles of mop
ping with -four and butter.
To be sure the pig is done, thrust a
skewer through the thickest part OF him !;
If no pink or reddish Juice oozes out it
is done, and ought to be rich brown
all over. When the pig is done pour
the gravy in saucepan and cook it
sufficiently. This will not be necessary
il the pig was cooked in the stove oven.
The pigs liver may be boiled in we'll
salted water, pounded up, and added to
the gravy, which should be very savory
and plentiful.
The pig should be invariably served
with baked sweet potatoes and plenty of
good pickle and sauce, either mushroom
or green pepper catsup, for despite his
toothsomeness, roast pig is not very safe
eating without plenty OF red pepper
