Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 199, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 August 1910 — To Keep Milk and Butter. [ARTICLE]

To Keep Milk and Butter.

Place butter in a bowl or small jar and cover with a saucer; set this and the bottle of milk in a rather deep pan and pour in enough cold water to half fill the pan, then fold a linen towel or piece of tablecloth twice, dip in cold water, and spread dripping wet over the bottle and bowl, with the edges of cloth in the water. Set the pan where the air can circulate. The milk will keep sweet all day and the butter will be nice when wanted even in the hottest weather.
