Beefsteak, cold roast beef, veal, lamb, prairie hens, and other wild game, may be treated in the same way, with like success; but prairie hens should have the skin removed before cooking. Any meats not tender must be stewed tender, or done, before putting into the pie dish, as you cannot depend on the baking to cook the meats, it would/spoil the crust. —Mrs. catherine Baldwin, Toledo, Ohio.
Remarks. —Having had my office in this lady's house for about two years, and boarded in the family most of the time, I am able to say, if you follow these instructions, you will have no reason to complain. A closing, word, only, milk, for wetting up pastry, as bread, makes them richer than water, hence use is when you have it plenty, but do not make pastry too soft, but rather stiff.
