Ink not Injured by Freezing

Take about one handful of maple bark-the inside bark, the outside bark having been scraped off. Put it in three pints of water and boil until the strength is all out of the bark; then strain the bark out of the ooze. Put in the ooze half a tablespoonful of copperas, and boil five or ten minutes until the copperas is all dissolved. Keep stirring. This will make near one gill of good ink that will not be injured by freezing.-J. E. L., Cambridge, Ind.
