Boiled Beef and Turnips

The brisket or breast of beef is nicest for boiling. Keep sufficiently covered in water, boiling three hours, or until tender. Peel and slice half a dozen turnips and put with beef, boiling until soft enough to mash with a spoon, which will require about thirty minutes. Dress with one teacup of milk, pepper and salt to the taste.

Stew together a short time and put in bottom of dish with beef on the top.--Mrs. P. W.
