The advantage of this way of cooking is that the oysters become large and plump.—Mrs. Dr. E. R.

To Cook Oysters.

½ gallon oysters.

1 quart fresh milk.

½ pound butter.

1 tablespoonful flour.

1 teaspoonful salt.

1 teaspoonful pepper.

1 egg.

Rub the egg and flour together and thin with a little of the milk. Mix the oysters, pepper and salt, and let them come to a boil; then add the milk, and when this boils add the egg and flour with the butter. Let the whole boil three minutes.—Miss N. S. L.
