A CnEAp HARD SOAP - Many house.
keepers in the country know how diiIi-
cult II is to obtain good article Of bar
soap. The yellow soap sold at the stores
cuts soft as cheese, and cuts away as
easily, and unless the housewife buys n
box of soap at time, and piles it up in
stacks in the attic or some dry place the
yearly record will show u goodly sum
paid out for soap purchased by the bar.
The following recipe will prove desira-
bic item Of economy:
Four large bars Of yellow soap; two
pounds Of sal soda; three ounces Of bor-
ak; one ounce OF liquid ammonia. Shave
the soap in thin slices; put 1t into eight
quarts of soft water (rain water is best J
When the soap is nearly dissolved, add
the borax and sal soda; stir till all is
melted. Pour it into a large tub or q
shallow pan; when nearly cool add the
ammonia slcriy, mixing il well. Let it
stand day or two, then cut it into cakes
or bars, and dry in warm place. No
better soap can be made to wash white
clothes, calicoes, and ilannols; and it is
excellent for all household purposes. 1t
costs but three cents per pound, and is
made in less than half an hour. This
recipe nas been sold for five dollars, and
will be Of service TO every family.
