HOME-MADE WASHING MACHINE.

By Mrs. May Compton

MRS. MAY COMPTON.
(Eagle Point, Ore.)
I have found the following device to answer the same purpose as the more costly manufactured machines: For a handle shape a light stick like an old-fashioned potato masher, only on an enlarged scale; take a tomato can, small lard pail, or any similar tin vessel, and fasten through the bottom to this handle.
Use this washing machine in a deep tub, as you would a churn dash. Rub plenty of soap on soiled spots. You will find that the air forced through the clothes in this way will extract the dirt, with little or no labor, and a minimum of wear to the cloth.
