The vegetable marrow should be tied up with two separate loops of tape about a quarter of the way from each end, and these two rings of tape tied together with two or three separate pieces of tape to prevent them slipping off at the ends.
The forcemeat or stuffing should be made hot before it is placed in the marrow.

The vegetable marrow should now be thrown into boiling water and boiled till it is tender, about twenty minutes to half an hour.

Take off the tape carefully, and be careful to place the marrow so that one half rests on the other half, or else it will slip.
N.B .-- If you place the stuffing inside cold, the vegetable marrow will break before the inside gets hot through.
TURNIPS, BOILED .-- When turnips are young they are best boiled whole.

Peel them first very thinly, and throw them into cold water till they are ready for the saucepan.

Throw them into boiling water slightly salted.
