To score pork, cut the pork rind into squares.

BAKED CABBAGE

Trim the cabbage and boil it till tender in plenty of boiling salted water. Press out all the moisture, chop it fine, and press it again.

Now add the butter, milk, bacon, seasonings, and the eggs well beaten.

Mix and turn into a buttered fireproof dish, and bake till well browned on the top.

Small pieces of butter dotted about on the surface are an improvement and hasten the browning operation.
