3 1/2 pounds leg of veal. 1/4 pound salt pork. 6 soda crackers rolled and sifted. 1 tablespoonful salt. 1 tablespoonful black pepper. 1 nutmeg. 2 eggs well beaten. Butter the size of an egg.

Hash veal and pork together, cutting very fine Then mix seasoning very thoroughly and form into oval shapes. Put a small piece of butter and bread crumbs over the top, while in the baking dish; half a teacup water, and baste frequently while baking. In moulding it and when mixing it keep wetting the hands in cold water, also wet the dish when you begin moulding it in shape.--Mrs. J. P. H.
