It is cut in pieces, after being boiled, dipped in batter,
and fried in the same way. It is excellent mixed with minced salt
fish.
PARTRIDGES should be roasted ten or fifteen minutes longer than
chickens, that is, provided they are thick-breasted and plump. Being

EXTRACTS FROM THE _ENGLISH_ FRUGAL HOUSEWIFE.
[It was the intention of the author of the _American_ Frugal
Housewife, to have given an Appendix from the _English_ Frugal
Housewife; but upon examination, she found the book so little
fitted to the wants of this country, that she has been able to
extract but little.]
CHEESE is to be chosen by its moist, smooth coat; if old cheese
be rough-coated, ragged, or dry at top, beware of worms. If it be
over-full of holes, moist and spongy, it is subject to maggots. If
soft or perished places appear, try how deep they go, for the worst
part may be hidden.
EGGS.--To prove whether they are good or bad, hold the large end of
the egg to your tongue; if it feels warm, it is new; but if cold, it
is bad.
