Preserving Lemon Juice

You can preserve the lemon juico as follows:—Squeeze the juice from some lemons, strain it through muslin, put into small bottles, pour over sufficient olive oil to cover the juice completely and cork tho bottles well. This will keep for some time, but when a bottle is opened tho contents should bo used soon. Another method is to put a pint of strained lemon juice into a basin with of castor sugar. Stir with a silver spoon until the sugar is dissolved, then put into small bottles, cork well and tie bladder over the corks. Lemons will keep for nearly a year if put into earthen jars or crocks in layers with lino dry sand. There must be a layer of sand an inch deep at tho bottom of the jar, and on this placo a row of lemons, stalk downwards and not touching one another. Cover with sand to tho depth of three inches, then lay on more lemons. Repeat until the jar is full, the top layer being sand. Store in a cool place.
