Lynx Meat as Food.

As an article of diet the Canada lynx cannot be beaten when properly prepared, although this may be a surprise to the vast majority of people even in the regions where this big cat is best known. This statement Is made in the belief that the common lynx found in Alaska is the same animal scheduled by the natural histories as lynx Canadensis. If any curious person will take the hindquarters of a lynx in good condition, leave it over night in a bucket of water to which a handful of salt and a teaspobnful of soda are added, and then roast it with potatoes he will have a dish very similar to mountain sheep? admittedly the finest meat tn the world. An onion or two placed in the roasting pan will help. In entertaining hypercritlcaliy fastidious friends it’s just as well to give the dish some o,ther name, in which event its delicious flavor will receive extravagant praise.
