WASHING COLORED COTTONS
Boil 2 qts. Of bran in water for ½ hour, let it cool, then strain it and mix the liquid with the water in which the things are to be washed. They will only require rinsing, as the bran will stiffen them sufficiently. For colored muslins, rice water is very good, as it helps to preserve the color; but, although it makes white muslin clear, it sometimes gives a yellow tinge. When used, it should previously be boiled in the proportion of 1 lb. of rice to one gallon of water. No soap is required.
BEST HARNESS POLISH IN THE WORLD Alcohol, 1 gallon; white turpentine, 1 ½ lbs; gum shelac, 1 ½ lbs; venice turpentine, 1 gill. Mix and let them stand by the stove till gums are all dissolved; then add sweet oil, 1 gill and color if you wish, with lamp black, 2 ounces, it will not crack.
