A LADY writes the ohio Farm Jou,ndl:
"Thefe are various substances and prepar-
ations advertised to soften water, but the
very best l know of, and l have tried
many, is to break With wood ashes, by
the old way of scalding sufficient ashes
and then turning ashes and water into "A
barrel which has been filed from the
well. 1t is better to have it done over
night before using to wash, that it may
thoroughly settle, and then use care in
dipping off. If were obliged to use
hard water, l would have good barrel
with a spigot near the bottom for drawing
the water off, as the last of the sediment
or ashes makes the clothes yellow. The
quantity of ashes needed to cleanse Il bar
rel of water can only be determined by
trial, as in different soils and localities
the quality of the water varies.
