For what it's worth, I think castor oil should be safe--it's routinely sold in health food stores, and in this case it's not being taken internally. I agree that castor beans are very poisonous. I have heard from knowledgeable folks that pennyroyal oil is not only poisonous, but an abortifacient, and therefore pregnant women shouldn't even touch it. Pennyroyal oil is also supposed to be excellent for gently cleaning antique textiles.

Saturday my uncle (the same guy who is building my custom Tennessee Mountain Rifle) came down and brought me a few books to look at. One of the books, The Kentucky Rifle Hunting Pouch by Madison Grant, has a section on nothing but patch knives. It has specimens dating back from the 18th century to 1840. Most of them do look like regular belt knives that were used exclusively for cutting patches. I just thought everyone would like to know since I thought I saw someone write that patch knives are a modern device.

I have a small collection of her receipts for medicines and doses in a ledger book she kept. She got most of them from her mother, who taught her the craft. All of the receipts pre-date 1825, when Annie was born. Annie's bug repellent for people and animals: 1/8 oz. oil of sassafras 1/8 oz. oil of eucalyptus 1/8 oz. oil of bay 1/8 oz. oil of pennyroyal 5 oz. pyrethrum tea 5 oz. alcohol 75% mix together all ingredients and apply sparingly to skin of person or hair of animal. Do not use on animals who may lick the oil off, or use on pregnant women. Pennyroyal is an abortifacient and deadly to take internally. As little as 1 oz. of pure oil of pennyroyal can be lethal. I make this mixture leaving out the pennyroyal and it seems to work just fine for me and mine. Pyrethrum (C. cinerariaefolium) also known as insect flower or feverfew has aromatic flowers that can be dried and powdered. It is used an an insecticide in many commercial products. It's a contact poison for bugs. Grow it in your garden and bees will avoid your yard. Pyrethrum is harmless to people. I have several other receipts for moth proofing sachets and ridding a house of fleas, bedbugs, mice and such from her ledger, if anyone is interested.

But in the old days Lanney (the 60's) you must have been a pup not liking such a fine drink as you mentioned, only thing missing was a touch of honey. Split that between us in a 2 gallon keg and we could have had a time, all night. A few cups of this mixture and the fun would begin, right Walt. Those where the days, but I don't miss them, have rolled in the fire a few times with such beverages, as many others have RIGHT CONCHO. Back to the subject at hand, keeping the darn bugs off; have mentioned before that using garlic works, the Corps of Discovery boys did and have tried it and it works, even keeps others at bay (strangers). Someone mentioned soap and water, not the eating type Dennis (you animal), but if you wash the days grim and sweat off, that helps. Many of you folks live near big rivers like the Missouri or Mississippi and know how bad the bugs can be. We have done both these rivers on 10-12 day trips as well as 25-30 day experiences, using garlic in most meals for a few weeks before the adventure and during the same, whatever the length of time. We have always washed body and hair before retiring for the evening and have only been biten a few times. And that was at "Tavern Cave" that was where the Corps with L&C stayed, it's black with flying insects. Those that used the different sprays or Avon got their nice clean shirt's covered with little blood spots marking each bite mark. The old ways proved to still work over the modern stuff available.

I don't even bother to dilute it, the pyrethrum tea does that. I figure, I'm not gonna drink the stuff... As for the pyrethrum, I get feverfew at the local health food/organic co-op. 2 large handfuls of dried crumbled up flowers are equal to 1 oz. I put the flowers in 5oz. of boiling water and let it steep until room temp. Strain out the plant material and mix in the rest of the stuff. I bottle it up in a dark glass bottle with a good tight lid or cork. It won't keep forever, but a batch will last Brian and I (and visitors to our camp) for a couple of events. I dip a small sea sponge into it and put it on with that. I get most of my oils at the health food/organic co-op, I'm lucky to live in a town where I have easy access. To Rid An Area Of Fleas: At night, lay fresh leaves of the white alder on the floor of the place troubled with fleas. The fleas will gather on the leaves and in the morning they can be quickly thrown out. Eucalyptus or vetiver leaves will work as well. I put the leaves on newspaper on the floor and carefully gather up the whole mess in the morning and take it far from the house. To Prevent Insects From Entering Your home: 1/2 pint 25% alcohol 1/2 pint turpentine spirits 1/2 oz, camphor in small pieces Mix all in a well stoppered bottle. Paint mixture all along door jams, window sills and any place on the outside of your home where insects can get inside. To Drive Ants Out Of An Area: For large black ants, crush catnip and scatter around infested area. For red ants, use peppermint or spearmint leaves. For tiny black ants, use camphor, crushed small. Cockroach Repellent: 1 tsp. oil of eucalyptus 3 oz. oil of peppermint 3 oz. oil of rosemary Mix together and bottle. Use as paint wherever bugs appear, baseboards, between cabinets, etc. This works on beetles and slugs too. Moth Repellent Sachet: 1 cup dried crushed rosemary 1 cup dried crushed vetiver 1 cup dried crushed pennyroyal 10 crushed bay leaves Mix all ingredients together and blend well. Divide into small bags and tie securely shut. Place among stored clothes in drawers or place in pockets of hanging clothes. You can replace the pennyroyal with cedar shavings, but don't mix the two. The combined scents are horrible. I hope these receipts are of interest , if not useful to you all. I suspect Annie would be pleased. My Grandma who gave me the ledger did it on the promise that I would use it, not just lock it away as a heirloom. I'm thinking of putting some of the receipts on the web page that I'm working on.

I know there is stuff you all know but I'm sure it can't hurt. THE PATCH KNIFE "The invention of the patch was probably the greatest improvement in the operation of the muzzle loading gun except for the introduction of spiral rifling. The patch itself, is a piece of greased cloth which surrounds the ball when loaded into the gun. It serves two purposes. First, it holds the ball firmly in the breech or chamber of the barrel; and then, by tightly filling the grooves in the rifling, it performs the function of a gasket. This gasket prevents the escape of gas past the bullet when the gun is fired, thus all the energy within the barrel and behind the bullet until it emerges from the muzzle of the gun. Proper patching of the bullet is critical to good results and, if not done correctly invalidates the other factors of loading, such as proper loading charge, seating the bullet on the powder with the ramrod, and finally, the priming. After pouring the powder down the barrel, the greased patching material is placed over the upright muzzle of the gun and a bullet pressed into the bore until it is slightly below the surface of the muzzle. Then the excess material is cut off flush with the muzzle with the patch knife. This method insures that the bullet is in the exact center of the patch. The bullet is then rammed home. This is important because if the bullet is not centered its flight will be erratic. Pre-cut patches may be employed if desired. The patch knife is a standard part of any rifleman's equipment. But what is a patch knife? A patch knife can be said to be any kind of knife that will cut a patch and there are a multiplicity of blades which can do the job. They may be loosely placed into three main classifications: 1. knives which were carried in a scabbard attached to the front shoulder strap of the hunting pouch; 2. belt knives of every kind and description; pocket or folding knives which could be carried in the pouch, coat pocket or pants pocket. Early knives of any of the above styles, of course, were handmade and varied in detail according to the ideas of their makers. They are scarce and quite distinct from the mass produced knives of later date. The plates which show belt knives, patch knives and pocket knives illustrate the variation in patch cutting knives which were used during the last half of the 18th century and the entire 19th century." If I could show you all the pictures they have; I would also include the description of each knife. I hope this helps a little.

Castor oil and pine tar are pretty available, and so must be Pennyroyal, but I can't think of a source offhand.
