Alkali Washing Powder 



Washing soda or some of the alkali washing 

 powders can be bought in packages from i pound 

 to a barrel. They are far superior to soap in 



removing curds and butter fat from tinware 

 and from the meshes of a strainer. An 8o-pound 

 keg is a good size for small dairymen to buy, as 

 the powder is much cheaper than in I -pound 

 packages.
