CLEANSING MIXTURE.

A good cleansing mixture may be made with two ounces liquid ammonia, two ounces bar soap finely shaved, and two teaspoonfuls powdered saltpeter. Put these ingredients into a large open-mouthed bottle, and add one and one-half pints warm water. It will be ready for use in two or three days. It is well adapted for washing delicate-colored articles, also to add to the water for shampooing the head. Mixed with water and sprayed upon plants, it will kill any insects infesting them, and also act as a fertilizer.
