Beef Gravy Soup.

4 lbs. of lean, coarse beef, cut into strips; 2 lbs. mutton or beef bones, broken small; 2 onions, sliced and fried; bunch of sweet herbs; 3 carrots; 2 turnips; 5 quarts of cold water; pepper and salt; dripping.

Fry the meat and onions in the dripping to a light brown. Put on in two quarts of water, and having cooked one hour, add the other vegetables chopped, and the remaining three quarts of water, cold. Boil slowly four hours, skimming often. Strain, pulping the vegetables. Put meat and bones into the stock-pot, season well; divide the broth into two portions; salt one, and pour into the stock-pot. When cold, set on ice for to-morrow. Cool and skim the rest; heat and skim until quite clear. Put dice of fried bread into the tureen.
