SPLIT PEAS SOUP.

One gallon of water, one quart peas soaked over night, one-quarter pound salt pork, cut in bits; one pound lean beef, cut the same. Boil slowly two hours, or until the water is reduced one-half. Pour in a colander, and press the peas through. Return to the kettle, and add one small head celery, chopped fine, a little parsley and marjoram. Have three or four slices of bread, fried brown in butter, cut up and put in the soup when served.
