Many speak of the emulsion rs
Troublesome to make. ! find ii very
easy by the following method: A bar
of common washing soap is dissolved in
quart of water and allowed to boil,
then two quarts of kerosene are added
TO the boiling soap. This is churned,
while hot, with revolving egg beater:
force pump would be better, but do
not own one, and n beater answers very
well. When the emulsion is properly
made il will come like butter. so thick
that the beaten will not work. A pint
Of the thick emulsion is diluted with
eight quarts of water. making liquid
resembling skim milk in color but
closely related TO kerosene in odor.-
