DRINING, dry salt and dry salt fer
mentation are dependable methods
of conserving the abundant harvest for
the cold wintry days. Almost any
container that is watertight will do
for this purpose. Do not use tubs or
pals or barrels that are made FROM
pitch or yellow pine. Large glass
bowls, crooks of various sizes, well
cleansed lard and butter tirkins, and
small kegs are obtained in any desired
number.
The European housewife is well ac
quainted with the Old World method
of storing foods in salt. AS each crop
natures she salts sufficient for her
needs for the winter.
There are three processes which are
very well known, and are used gen
orally. First, dry sailing or noDfer-
menting: second. dry salt fcrmenta-
tion, and third, briuing. Almost every
product of the garden may be stored
this way with little real trouble. Spin
ach, dandeIions, beets, turnips, green
asparagus, yellow and green string
beans. peas. corn. green tomatoes,
brussel sprouts and cHuliflower arc
among the numerous foods to be done
In this way.
The utensils which are required for
successful work are wooden potato
masher to tap the products to pack,
pieces of board cut 10 nit the tops of
the various containers. and sufficient
cheesecloth to cover the tops of the
containers.
Use good grade Of dairy salt. The
table salt in the fancy packages will
not do for this purpose. This salt is
prepared for the table with starch TO
keep 1t free running. Neither can you
use rock salt. as it is not sufficiently
pure and is entirely too coarse.
After packing the vegetables in the
'salt. cover with two thickncsses Of
cllceseclOth. and then place the board
In position and place II weight upou the
board. Clean paving stones will do.
Set in a cool, airy place, and then
watch for twenty four hours to see if
the salt has not extracted from the
vegetables enough brine to cover: then
you must add prepared brine, which
is made by using one cup Of salt to
every five cups Of water. Pour over
