If the fowl has been drawn as soon as killed, and the gall has not been broken, it will not need wash ing; biit if there is the least suspicion of taint, wash it well in cold water, to which a teaspoonfu! of soda, and two of salt, have been added. There is an infinite variety o# receipts for starting a turkey. basis of all, A plain made dressing, with which breadcrumbs is the is mixed with butter, pepper, salt, and thyme or sweet marjoram.

Use as much of the oyster liquor as may be pece-sary to moisten the bre id, diluting it with half the quantity of water or milk, and about two dozen small oysters to a ten-pound turkey. In this case an oyster sauce must be served with it. For this, bring to a boil the juice of half a pint of oysters and one-half pint of milk, also boiling; thicken with two teaspoonfuls of flour wet with cold water, *dd the oysters, give one boil, and serve. For a celery stuffing the celery must be stewed and mixed with ihe bread crumbs, which should have been mqistened w ith hot milk.

Make the brown gravy by atlding a little hot water to the gravy in the pan, from which you have skimmed the fat.
