Sausage Cakes.

1 pound of fresh pork.

1/2 pint of stale bread.

1/4 teaspoonful of pepper.

1/2 tablespoonful of salt.

1/2 teaspoonful of powdered sage.

1/2 teaspoonful of powdered thyme.

Have the meat one fourth fat and three fourths lean, and chopped fine. Soak the bread in cold water until it is soft, then press out all the water. Mix the seasonings and the bread with the meat. When all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, shape into small flat cakes, and fry until brown on both sides. It will take twenty minutes to cook the cakes thoroughly.
