=To Keep Lettuce Crisp=

Put it into a paper bag and place right on the ice. It will keep a week in this way.

=To Keep Celery=

Do not put it into water. Wrap it in a cloth, wet in cold water and place directly on the ice.

=To Keep a Piece of Salt Pork Sweet=

Put it in a strong brine made of one quart of cold water, and two-thirds of a cup of salt.

=Save Potato-Water=

Pare potatoes before boiling, and then save the water, to mix your yeast bread with.

=A Use for the Vinegar Off Pickles=

When your pickles have been used from your glass jars, do not throw away the vinegar. Use it in your salad dressing. It is much better than plain vinegar because of the flavor.
