Clean, wash, and lay for 1 hr. in salad oil and lemon juice. Have ready a large cup of bread crumbs soaked in enough cream to moisten them, add a cup of minced mushrooms and pepper, salt and onion juice to your taste. Fill the squirrels with this stuffing, sew up and truss, rub all over with butter, lay in a baking-dish, and nearly cover with weak stock. When done, make a piquant sauce from the gravy in the pan by adding the juice of 1/2 a lemon, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, paprika and salt to taste. Boil up and pour into a boat. - Mrs. May C. May, Mayfair, 111.
