BLACK DYE FOR HARNESS.

The colour of harness that has become rusty or brown by wear, may be

restored to a fine black after the dirt has been sponged and brushed

off, by using the following mixture: viz.

Boil logwood chips in three quarts of soft water, to which add three

oz. of nut-galls, finely powdered, and one oz. of alum; simmer the

whole together for half an hour, and it will be fit for use.
