Three pounds pot roast, two medium sized onions, one-half dozen carrots, one-half dozen potatoes, salt and pepper. An iron kettle is preferable. Put butter in kettle and when hot place the roast in and let it brown on both sides. Then add sufficient water from time to time to keep it simmering. When half done put the carrots in that have been prepared by scraping and cutting lengthwise. Put in the onions (sliced or whole) with the carrots. When these are nearly done, add the prepared potatoes cut lengthwise. After the meat and vegetables have been removed add flour to liquid which makes a delicious gravy. - Mrs. E. H. Duffield, Williams, Ariz.

Mix one pint sweet milk, four eggs well beaten, two scant cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful salt. About an hour before the roast is baked, pour off the fat from the baking pan, leaving just enough to keep batter from sticking to the pan. Pour in the batter. Put the oven grate over baking pan, and place roast on it, allowing the drippings to fall on the batter below. Oven should be brisk. Baste roast frequently with fat taken from pan and kept hot on the top of the range. - Contributed, Saginaw, Mich.
Heat the baking pan hot, then put in beef and let it brown well, turn over and sear the sides thoroughly. This method retains the juices in the meat, then put in the pan and bake until done, basting as necessary. The inside will be pink and juicy. - Mrs. George Raney, Williams, Ariz.
