Thought I should share this gem of a reference book.

I wouldn't recommend the old way of making ice.

Beekeeping has changed considerably too.

Sometimes though ... especially for permie type folks ... the old ways are the best.

Enjoy.

Old books are one of my primary targets when I go junk stores.   Of course, just because an older book makes a claim doesn't mean it is factual. I have found numerous tonics with mercury as an ingredient.  Maybe they work, but I'm not trying them.

We live on Blue Planet that circles a ball of fire. Our Planet is circled by a Golden Moon that moves its oceans. Now tell me that you don’t believe in miracles....Unknown

The most educational book I've ever possessed.

Excellent file thank you very much!

The problem with these things is English has drifted so far,
What in the name of Jupiter is "corrosive sublimate" and can I get it at Amazon!!

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently patient fool!
I hate people who use big words just to make themselves look perspicacious.

 
You guys wanna see my fabulous new place? Or do you wanna look at this tiny ad?
