New kettles.
Fill the kettle with clean potato peelings, boil them for an hour, then wash the
kettle with hot water; wipe it dry, and rub it with a little lard; repeat the
rubbing for half a dozen times after using. In this way you prevent rust,
otherwise so easy to gather in new kettles.
To clean sponges.
Rub a lemon into the sour sponge and then rinse it several times in lukewarm
water. In this way the sponge will be as fresh as a new one.
Frozen windows.
The window panes can be kept free from ice by rubbing them with a sponge dipped
in alcohol.
To clean feathers.
Cover the feathers with a dough of pipe clay and water. When dry, shake off the
powder and curl them with a knife.
To test nutmeg.
Prick the nutmeg with a pin, and if good the oil will immediately spread around
the little hole.
