Cooling the /. Turkey.

To prepare the turkey for the oven,
split the skin at the back Of the neck,
take out the neck bone, cut 1t close
to the body. Draw the crop and the
intestines; clean and wash thorough
ly; I'LL both crop and stomach cavities
with stutiing. Turn the neck skin down
under the back; tie string round and
bring the two ends of the string over
the wings and tie on the breast. When
ready to bake put the bird In the roast
ing pan; add little water, small
quantities of chopped celery. carrots
and onions. two cloves and small
bunch of parsley Basic with the
gravy every fifteen minutes. Cook in
a moderately hot oven for about two
and a half or three hours. The pres
sure Of the thumb behind the second
Joint OF the wing will readily break
the flesh when 1t is sufficiently cooked.
Take off strings used in dressing be-
