USE A LITTLE VINEGAR IN CLEANING GREENS

All greens must be picked over carefully and carefully washed. This Is sometimes a long process, for a large quantity IS required to make a dish of tiie cooked greens. It takes about a half bushel of spinach to make a little more than a pint when cooked. A half cupful of vinegar In the water in which the greens are allowed to stand before washing is of advantage as it kills the small insects that are sometimes hard to distinguish from, the leaves themselves.
