- (continued from previous page)Long ago the people made soap themselves also. It was made out of raw potatoes when peeled. They were then rubbed of the cloth to make them clean.
The people had no leather long ago like we have now. They made it themselves out of old horses and cows skins. First they used to hang up the skins until they get tanned. Then they used to make "borans"[?] for oats and fongs for flails out of it.
