Roast Ducks.
Clean, wash, and stuff the ducks; adding sage and onion to the force-meat for one. Fill the other with the ordinary poultry dressing. Lay in the dripping-pan; pour a cup of boiling water over them, and roast, basting often, about twelve minutes to the pound, unless they are very young and tender. Take them up; strain the gravy, and take off the fat. Season; thicken with browned flour, and pour into a boat.
