Fish ChoWcier.

A delicious fish chowder may be
made of any of our fresh water fish
Clean and boil them, removing the
bones and skin. then shed the fish and
add to the other ingredients prepared
as follows: Fry out piece of fat salt
pork (half pound. cut in dice), add
half dozen potatoes. sliced three
onions and sufficient water to cover
cook until the vegetables are tender
add quart of milk, half dozen large
crackers. butter and salt to taste
Serve hot.
1t seems too bad that people living
inland should not enjoy the fish
chowders of the seashore; the fresh
fish may take the place of the salt
water fish and make dish very little
inferior to the coast chowders.
