ODD SCRAPS FOR THE ECONOMICAL.


If you would avoid waste in your family, attend to the following
rules, and do not despise them because they appear so unimportant:
'many a little makes a mickle.'

Look frequently to the pails, to see that nothing is thrown to the
pigs which should have been in the grease-pot.

Look to the grease-pot, and see that nothing is there which might have
served to nourish your own family, or a poorer one.

See that the beef and pork are always _under_ brine; and that the
brine is sweet and clean.

Count towels, sheets, spoons, &c. occasionally; that those who use
them may not become careless.

See that the vegetables are neither sprouting nor decaying: if they
are so, remove them to a drier place, and spread them.
