Neats-Tongues to dry: Take Bay-Salt, beat it very fine, so that it may be sifted through a fine Hair-Sieve, and Salt-Peter, of each a like quan∣tity; and having soaked your Tongues in warm Water, rub it on very well in every part, especially at the root, then lay them in a place where they may be covered with the Salt, and as that wasts, put on more; and when they become suffici∣ently hard and stiff, then rowl them in Bran till they are dry, put them into a Mold a while, then dry them in a Kill, with a soft Fire; or for want of that necessary Implement, you may hang them up in a Chim∣ney where the Smoke comes but little at them, and when they are sufficiently dryed, press them out somewhat flat∣tish, and at length, and so put them in dry Boxes, and keep them for use.
