Two ounces finest oil of lavender, one ounce essence of musk, one-half
ounce essence of ambergris, one-half ounce oil of bergamot and one-half
gallon of rectified spirits. Mix the ingredients, keep in a demijohn for
several days, shaking occasionally. Then filter and bottle.
GOOD HARD SOAP.
Five pounds of grease, one quart and one cup of cold water, one can of
potash, one heaping tablespoonful 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 particles 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.
POLISH FOR HARD OR STAINED WOOD FLOORS.
Eight ounces of yellow beeswax, two quarts of spirits of turpentine, one
quart of Venetian turpentine. Cut the wax in small pieces and pour the
spirits over it--it will soon dissolve; then bottle. Apply with a
flannel or soft cloth. It keeps the floors in excellent order.
