How 1t Can BE Made At Home With Lit
tie Trouble and Expense.

How 1t Can BE Made At Home With Lit
tie Trouble and Expense.
Every housekeeper who chooses to do
so, can make her own vinegar with very
little trouble and at very little expense.
In truth, the. best of vinegar can be
made from what is commonly thrown
away.
Apple-parings and cores placed in a
vessel and covered with warm water
and kept warm, will make good, sharp
vinegar from four to six weeks. If "a
little molasses or sugar is thrown in, it
will be deeper-colored and stronger, but
it will take Il little longer ''to turn" A
lady once pointed to a two-quart glass
jar that stood upon a shelf near the
stove, and said: "Perhaps you will
hardly believe it, but that gives me all
the vinegar | need for my table" Into
it she slipped apple parings, and when
it was sour enough, strained off the
liquid and refillcd the jar with sweetened
water. This can be done again
and again, as the parings do
not decay. In making vinegar,
be sure to give it warmth and air.
Cover the mouth of the vessel with a
thin cloth to keep out insects. If one
wishes to make it in larger quantities, a
barrel should be used. 1t could be set
in a sunny shed and the vinegar making
for the year be done in summer. Sweet
ened water (using either molasses Or
sugar) with some common field corn
thrown in, will make good vinegar. If
it is kept warm it will be ready for use
in a few weeks. TO ten gallons Of
warm water take three quarts of molas-
ses and n pint of corn; or, if corn is
not handy, use II pint of yeast instead.
Vinegar made either way will keep
pickles just as we'll as cider vinegar.
Sorghum is as good as molasses for this
purpose. Some claim that soft water
must be used; no doubt it is better; but
hard water answers very well. Here in
Colorado our water is strongly tinctured
with alkali and is very hard, and as the
rainfall is not to be depended upon, We
often use it for vinegar making, with
good results. Cor. RuraI Nee0 Yorke7.
