Canned Sauerkraut.-Sauerkr is
made by the natural fermentation of
cabbage in casks. The heads are
striped of all outside or green leaves,
leaving only sound white heads:
these are then shredded with
shredder, kraut cutter, or chopped

of liz pounds to the bushel of cab
bage. When cask is filled, place
over cabbage lid of oak that will
just go inside of cask, with some
heavy weight on top. Tie cloth
securely over the top of cask to keep
out flies and dust. Watch carefully

turn the second day. make mild
brine and add to cabbage. Do not
use too much salt, as this will cause
the kraut to become discolored. Dur
