DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

MAKING SoFr SoAP.-TO observe tho follow
ing rules, women will not have many failures
in making good soaps
In setting leach, raise a perforated bottom
just above the hole where the I've escapes.-
On that, place straw enough to prevent the
ashes from going through Then throw IN
about one peck Of Stacked lime, leveling off
the same over the straw. Put into the centre
oil your heap Of ashes about one half bushe
OF lime to ten Of ashes. Slack the lime and
mix well with ashes. Fill your leach, pound
ing down the ashes as hard as your strength
will permit, or at least that the lye will not get
through in less than three days. On the top
OF the ashes put some straw and fiat stone on
which to pour water. Thus completed, COM
mence with water but not rapidly, for the
longer it may be soaking through, the better
will be the lye.
Your leach being prepared, turn attention
TO your grease, which is most generally a poor
article. Twenty pounds Of good tallow is
required lor a barrel Of soap and il Is often
the case that fifty pounds Of common house
grease has not the body Of twenty pounds of
tallow. You should, In order to know the
Teai quantity OF good stock you have, always
DOH and clean your grease, aud throw all the
refuse away for Il isvalueless Ia making SOAP
aud Is generally the great cuuss Of preventing
tho perfect amalgamation Of the grease and
lye, containing, as il always does, mo 10 or
less salt, which Is positive bar to making san
soap, while an absolutely necessary ingredient
In the manufacture of hard soup
Having then got a Glenn grease and good
caustic lye, such as you will have from
leach filled as above suggested, you will have
10 difficulty, over gentle FIRE, of having
good soap In a few hours.
Practical soap boilers have no guide for the
quantity or.lye for a certain quantity Of fut ,
as the lye differs much in It's strength; they
rely therefore entirely on their taste. In max
