To MAKE Sort SoAP.-Take 20 pounds
Of patash, and dissolve it in 25 gallons of
cold soft water, (an iron kettle is the best
to put it in) 1t will take five or six days
to dissolve, unless the weather is perfectly
warm. When dissolved, take 20 pounds
of clean grease, or rough grease that will
make that weight, and cleanse it with white
ley; then strain it through seive or colan-
der in a soap barrel and add the potash ley,
being careful not to add the sediment; then
soak the sediment of the potash with few
/ gallons more Of soft water and pour it into
the barrel, so rs to save all the strength Of
the potash. In this way, have never
been over throe days in making a barrel of
soap; and as to its quality, | should be proud
to exhibit it before any lady in tho State.
In regard to the best time for making soap,
the month Of April or May is as good as
any; or Just before hot weather commences;
as all rough grease must then be looked af-
ter, or the flies will take the matter into
their hands.--Am. Farmer.
