As a half teaspoonful of soda to each quart of water will prevent coagulation, and secure more perfect extraction of the juices of the meat, we recommend its use invari- ably. Commence by immersing the meats, after careful washing in a kettle of cold water, and bring the whole slowly to a boil, keeping the pot well covered. When the strength of the meat is extracted, season with salt, strain and set in a refrigerator or cool place for twenty- four hours before using, as age, so long as it is kept sweet, improves it.

Serve very hot, as therein lies the effi- ciency of soup as am appetizer.
