To Keep Vegetables Through The Winter Recipe

Succulent vegetables are preserved best in a cool, shady place, that is

damp. Turnips, Irish potatoes, and similar vegetables, should be

protected from the air and frost by being buried up in sand, and in very

severe cold weather covered over with a linen cloth. It is said that the

dust of charcoal, sprinkled over potatoes, will keep them from

sprouting. I have also heard it said, that Carolina potatoes may be kept

a number of months, if treated in the following manner: Take those that

are large, and perfectly free from decay--pack them in boxes of dry

sand, and set the boxes in a place exposed to the influence of smoke,

and inaccessible to frost.
