Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 247, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 October 1911 — Keeping Butter Sweet. [ARTICLE]

Keeping Butter Sweet.

If you buy butter enough for a week or two, put it in a stone jar. press it down with a potato masher, take # handful of salt and sprinkle over the top of butter, then pour in a cup or two of water. It will keep sweet, no matter how warm the weather is, so long as it is covered with this salt water. It will not make the butter salty. When needed take up enough for the table •at a time.
