forty gallons of kraut. If too much is
put in, it will not sour. Then pound
until water rises. Now put in more cab
bage and proceed as before. Lastly, get
some large cabbage leaves, wash, and
cover the kraut with them, put on board
and then a stone for weight. Wash
the board and stone about once a week

Be sure to keep enough water on it to

a warm place until sour enough to suit
