Wash first in cold water, then in hot water with baking soda. Cut up raw potato parings very finely, fill the bottle with them, cover with warm water and let stand twenty four hours. Remove a few of the parings, shake the bottle thoroughly, turn all out, and wash the bottle. It should be perfectly clean. Crush egg shells and put in a bottle with clear cold water. Shake thoroughly, empty, and rinse well. Put a piece of soap and a handful of small cinders in a bottle with hot water, shake thoroughly, rinse well, and drain. TO CUT A BOTTLE No. Wind cotton twine two or three times around the bottle just below where it is to be cut. Drop kerosene or alcohol very slowly on the cord until it is saturated, then ignite it with a match. When the flame has nearly died out, pour on a little cold water, and the bottle separates smoothly. TO CUT A BOTTLE No. To file, drill, or saw glass with a hack saw, keep the tool edge wet with camphor dissolved in turpentine.
