Make in little balls or rolls; egg and crumb, and fry in boiling lard.

Drain on brown paper, and serve like chicken croquettes.
SWEET POTATOES.
Wash carefully, and boil without peeling from three-quarters of an hour to an hour.

Peel, and dry in the oven ten minutes.

They are better baked, requiring about an hour for medium-sized ones.
BEETS.
Winter beets should be soaked over-night.

Wash them carefully; but never peel or even prick them, as color and sweetness would be lost.
