The waste grease and fat from the
kitchen can be disposed of to very good
advantage by making it into soap. It
need not be much trouble if you will
proceed as follows: Fry out bits of beef
suet and other fat and waste grease,
and strain out the oil into stone pot
until you get from four to four and
half pounds. Put the contents of
pound box of concentrated lye into
stone vessel and pour three pints of
cold water into it: stir with a stick I'M
til it dissolves and becomes boiling hot;
then let it cool till lul1ewarm. In the
meantime, melt the fat, and when both
I've and grease are barely lukewarm,
pour tiny stream of I've into the fat,
stirring briskly, otherwise it will not
form soap. In thirty to forty minutes
it becomes thick, like honey. Then
pour into wet vessel and next day cut
into bars.-N. Y. World.
