Squirrels.
There are many species common to this country, among them the black, red, gray
and fox. Gophers and chipmunks may also be classed as another, but smaller
variety. They should be carefully skinned and laid in salt water a short time
before cooking; if old, should be parboiled. They are fine when broiled, the
hind quarters being the choicest parts, unless when in the fall they are fat and
full breasted. Are excellent cooked in any other way, with thin slices of pork.
They are also delicious when made into a pie, like veal or chicken.
