GOOD HARD SOAP.

Five pounds of grease, one quart and one cup of
cold water, one can of potash, one heaping table-
spoonful of borax, two tablespoonfuls of ammonia.
Dissolve the potash in the water, then add the borax
and ammonia and stir in the lukewarm grease slowly
and continue to stir until it becomes as thick as thick
honey ; then pour into a pan to harden. When firm
cut into cakes. Grease that is no longer fit to fry in
is used for this soap. Strain it carefully that no par-
ticles of food are left in it. It makes no difference
how brown the grease is, the soap will become white
and float in water. It should be kept a month before
using.
