6 lb. (melted) fat
1 can lye
2 1/2 pt. hot water

Dissolve the lye in the hot water (do not use metal pan). Let cool, then pour lye solution in a slow easy stream into melted fat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until cool. Pour into boxes that have been dipped in cold water (milk cartons would be good to use). Cut in desired size of squares when cold and set. This is good to put in tree fork and when it rains, soap runs down tree trunk and keeps bugs, bores out of trees.
