How to Cook Turtle.

There are two members of the turtle
family which are brought to Northern
markets for food, one the green turtle
Of the sea, which is made into soup,
the other the salt marsh or salt water
terrapin, both the diamond back and
the Southern terrapin.
1t is said that the negroes of the
South cook the swapping turtle, which
is fresh water turtle found in ponds
and rivers all over the United States,
but it has never appeared in the North
ern markets.
Marion Harland gives the following
rule for cooking it: Plunge the turtle
into boiling water in the same way you
do lobster. AS it is a coldbloOded
creature, your sympathies need not be
aroused. In five minutes you can pull
OF the horny parts of the feet and skin
the under parts easily Now lay the
turtle for ten minutes more in cold
sailed water. AT the end of ten min
utes add hot water and let the turtle
simmer slowly until it is tender.
An old swapping turtle makes very
poor. musky article of food but a
young one is said by Marion Harland
TO be .'relishable' dish. The size and
age Of the turtle decide the length of
time it should be cooked. When it is
tender take it out, drain and wipe it
dry. Loosen the shell carefully and cut
open with care lest you lnJure the gall
bag. Remove this with the entrails and
sand bag. Cut all the rest of the crea-
ture into bits, adding salt, pepper, a
chopped onion, some favoring herbs. a
leaspoonful Of catsup, either walnut or
mushroom catSup. Simmer the stew in
its own juice for fifteen minutes. Add
a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoon
ful OF Drowned flour, q glass of brown
sherry, and finally the beaten yolk of
an egg mixed with a little of the hot
Hquor. Let the stew boil up once, and
serve it in a covered dish
1t would not be wise to cook the
various land and swapping turtle which
are found. especially in the spring dur
ing apple blossom time" as G.. F. P.
suggests. These creatures have come
out probably for the purpose of LAYING
their eggs, and after their long condi-
ton Of partial Information they would
not be fit for food even if they were fit
10 eat under ordinary conditions. Ac-
cording to the New York market. the
diamond back and Southern terrapin
are not considered in fit condition for
1000 except during the months from
october to March, although they NAV
De round during any month in the year.
The common box or land turtle of Con-
nectlcut and elsewhere at the North Is
never lit for food. It is a harmless
picturesque creature, while the snap-
ping turtle is a savage inhabitant of
fresh water ponds and rivers in Amer
lea during the greater part of its time.
1t lives on fishes and frogs. and its
food sometimes includes duck and 9TH
er fowl. 1t occasionally weighs from
twenty to thirty pounds.
