Corn Vinegar.
Cut off of the cob 1 pt. of corn, then take 1 pt. of brown sugar or molasses to 1 gal. of rain water; add the corn, put into a jar, cover with a cloth, set in the sun, and in 3 weeks you will have good vinegar. I have made it 5 years, and know it is good. Have cider vinegar, but like the corn vinegar best. "
Cider Vinegar. —Pure cider vinegar is acknowledged to be the best that can be made. To make it quickly, a writer gives us the following plan. He says: "Expose a large surface of the cider to the action of the atmosphere; it will turn rapidly to vinegar; for instance, if the cider is put into buckets or tubs in the sun, and a mosquito netting is laid over the top of it so that the flies will not touch it, and shield it also from rain by boards, in 3 or 4 weeks you will have strong vinegar. The larger the surface exposed to the air, the sooner the fermentation will take place and vinegar be formed. Place a bucket of cider behind a cooking stove constantly in use, and you will soon have vinegar. Warmth and air are all that are needful. "
