bage, and place it neatly in the dish, with the moor fowl on it. Pour
the sauce over them, and garnish with small slices of fried bacon.

MORELLA CHERRIES. When the fruit is quite ripe, take off the stalks,
prick them with a pin, and allow a pound and a half of lump sugar to
every pound of cherries. Reduce part of the sugar to powder, and strew
it over them. Next day dissolve the remainder in half a pint of currant
juice, set it over a slow fire, put in the cherries with the sugar, and
give them a gentle boil. Take out the cherries carefully, boil the syrup
till it is thick, pour it upon the cherries, and tie them down.--Any
other kind of fruit may be treated in the same way, only using such kind
of juice to boil in the syrup as is most suitable to the fruit to be
preserved. It is proper to put apple jelly over jam or preserved fruit,
or to sift sugar over the tops of the jars; and when cold, cover them
with brandy paper. If the air be admitted, they will not keep.

MORELLA WINE. Cleanse from the stalks sixty pounds of morella cherries,
and bruise them as to break the stones. Press out the juice, mix it with
six gallons of sherry wine, and four gallons of warm water. Powder
separately an ounce of nutmeg, cinnamon, and mace, and hang them
separately in small bags, in the cask containing the liquor. Bung it
down; and in a few weeks it will become a deliciously flavoured wine.

MORELS. In their green state they have a very rich, high flavour, and
are delicious additions to some dishes, or sent up as a stew by
themselves, when they are fresh and fine. When dried they are of very
little use, and serve only to soak up good gravy, from which they take
more flavour than they give.

MOSS. To destroy moss on trees, remove it with a hard brush early in the
spring of the year, and wash the trees afterwards with urine or soap
suds, and plaster them with cow dung. When a sort of white down appears
on apple trees, clear off the red stain underneath it, and anoint the
infected parts with a mixture of train oil and Scotch snuff, which will
effectually cure the disease.

MOTHS. One of the most speedy remedies for their complete extirpation,
is the smell of turpentine, whether it be by sprinkling it on woollen
stuffs, or placing sheets of paper moistened with it between pieces of
cloth. It is remarkable that moths are never known to infest wool
unwashed, or in its natural state, but always abandon the place where
such raw ma
