Ofttlmes a recipe of many generations use, takes a turn and fails to come out properly. It may be in the content of the vinegar. One la pretty well at the mercy lof the merchant when it comes to vine far, we Just have to take his word that the vinegar is good, unless we buy it in bottles which displays the acid content on the label. Because some vinegar is strong er than it was in grandmother day, the modern pickle maker may , have to add some water. Taste U about the only test in this case. Grandmother used a copper ket tle to make her pickles greener. but unless the copper is bright and shiny there may be complication because the tarnish reacting with the acid may form poisonous salts. Pure granulated salt sold in acks is better for pickles than those cointaining chemicals, to make them free-running. Tying spices in bags helps keep color in some of the pickling pro cesses. Glass lids with top seal rubber rings or older type lightning jars with glass lids and rubber rings re better than zinc or other metal lids which have self sealing com pounds. Too much salt on dill pickles causes them to shrivel, too little makes them spoil. One pound salt to 10 quarts water and quart vinegar is a standard one brine. The old fashioned way is to use brine made of enough salt added to water to float an egg. When pickling in a crock, be sure that the scum is removed frequently or the pickles wilt spoil. Here is a mixed pickle recipes which, though not our own, comes from a good source in fact the company which manufactures not only many pickles, but also sells vinegars and spices, to make the pickles at home.

In his book, Towne (who writes an introduction under his own name Carl Drepperd) gives sev eral examples of people who found wealth in unsuapected ways. . There was the couple who found in a furnace one letter that had escaped being burned with a bun dle of others the previous winter. It proved to be worth $13,000 to the new owners of the house. Rough estimates by experts-were that the big fire of other letters had lost the previous owners of the house about $100,000. What they burned up were century-old letters from the Sandwich Islands with some of the earliest postage stamps of the Hawaiian Islands. In an attic in Pennsylvania a thick roll 'of paper proved to be 76 copies of Moore's famous poem, "A Visit from St Nicholas." With in three years copies were selling for $50 a piece. A chest of receipted bills dated from 1750 to 1850 brought as much as $10 a piece. A pamhlet folded to block up the leg of an old bureau was one of Edgar Allen Poe's works, of fabul ous value. Dime novels have sold for $5 to $25, and more. Towne's book tells how to iden tify many of these old things, what they are worth and how to go a bout disposing of them. Science hooks including books on chemistry, metallurgy, dy namics, optics, clockmaking or electricity might be worth 25 or 50 tunes their original value Any first edition of any author, Indian material printed before 1701, religious books before 1700, songbooks of the 17th century and almanacs printed before 1800 may be immensely valuable. Books on cookery and domestic economy be fore 1680 and crime pamphlets printed in Utah, San Francisco and other Western points prior to 1860 also bring fancy prices. Among Towne's list of items which might be considered trash, but could have real value are: books on trades and crafts; tea cher's manuals and school books, American History, old magazines (UJS. Military Magazine, Huddy and Duval, Phila., from 1839 to 1842, worth $1,000) newspapers, broadsides, posters, handbills, playing cards, Valentines (some bring $100), programs, mail order catalogues, glassware, prints, china, pottery, silver and plated wares, pewter, stoves, stencils and even buttons.
