Set it in a cool place. This yeast will be found extremely good for raising home-made bread. Yeast when it becomes sour may be made fit to use by stirring into it a little sal-aratus, or pearl-ash, allowing a small tea-spoonful to a pint of yeast. This will remove the acidity, and improve the bread in lightness. The pearl-ash must be previously melted in a little lukewarm water.
Volatile Soap, And Directions for Washing Clothes. Cut up three pounds of country bard soap into three pints of strong ley; simmer it over the fire until the soap is dissolved, and add to it three ounces of pearl-ash, pour it into a stone jar, and stir in half a pint of spirits of turpentine, and a gill of spirits of hartshorn, cover the jar tight, and tie a cloth over it.
Bake it two hours or more, in a moderate oven. If not thick, an hour or an hour and a half will be sufficient. Wrap it in a thick cloth, and keep it from the air, and it will continue moist and fresh for two weeks. The pearl-ash will give it a dark colour. It will be much improved by a pound of raisins, stoned and cut in half, and a pound of currants, well washed and dried.
