VERY FINE SOAP-QUICKLY AND CHEAPLY MADE

Fourteen pounds of bar soap in a half a boiler of hot water: cut up fine: add three pounds of sal-soda made fine:
one pound of pulverized rosin: stir it often until all is dissolved: just as you take it off the fire, put in two 
tablespoons of spirits of turpentine and one of ammonia: pour it in a barrel, and fill up with cold soft water:
let it stand three or four days before using. It is an excellent soap for washing clothes, extracting the dirt
readily, and not fading colored articles.
