Stable manure should not be used as a fertilier un less it is thoroughly decayed and carefuly mixed with the soil.

After using once or twice, you can easily estimate how much soap is needed (it’s really very little) for rich lasting suds in hard or soft water. White clothes should be soaked an hour or two or overnight. If you soak your white clothes even ten minutes ip Rinso suds, the results will ho amazing! If there are badly soiled spots, sprinkle a little dry Rinso on them, roll the garment and push it well under water. ! - The wash water for white cottons and linens should be as hot as is available, preferably around 140 de grees. Several loads of clothes may often be washed without changing the water in the machine. When the suds die down, the cleansing power of the soap is spent. Either add more Rinso—or if the suds have become very dirty, make a fresh solution. The more completely the dirty suds are wrung or spun out of the clothes, the easier the rinsing is, and the less hot water is required. Have water for the first rinse as hot as the wash water. In the second and third rinses, use as hot water as convenient. Ip washing machine or tub, Rinso and lukewarm water washes colored .cottons and linens so they keep bright as new. To avoid fading and streak jpg, never use hot water, harsh bar, (gripped or powdered soaps.
