A Home-Made Butter Cooler
Dear Aunt Daisy, The Daisy Chain may be interested to hear about a butter cooler I have made, for not everybody has a refrigerator. First of all procure a box about 30 inches by 18 inches-any size will do. Bore about a dozen holes in each side and each end-no lid wanted. Then get a smaller -box-about six inches smaller each way, and bore similar holes in that, too, and also in the lidthis small box needs a lid. Now get some charcoal (I made mine by partly burning some hard wood under the boiler and then pouring water on it)and cover the bottom of the big box with this. Then stand the little box upon it, and pack all round the sides with the charcoal. Soak the charcoal every morning with cold water. I keep mine in the fork of a weeping willow tree, and put my butter in it, and find it is always fresh and firm. Anyone can make one-it is a good idea.-Farmer’s Wite (St. Heliers).
