Ginger Drops—Take three eggs, one cup of lard, one of baking molasses, one of broken sugar, one large tablespoon of ginger, one tablespoon of soda in a cup of boiling water, five cups of unsifted flour. Drop tablespoons of this mixture into a slightly greased dripping pan about three Inches apart. Recipe for Cooking Rabbit —Cut up the rabbit into desirable pieces, wash In three waters, then let it stand for at least an hour in salted water to which some red pepper has been added. When ready to cook put on in cold water, and as-the water steams drain off as one would for chicken. Fill or cover over again with cold water, adding a little ginger, which takes away the wild flavor. One should cook it thoroughly. The meat is more delicious with the thickened gravy made into a pie.
