Supplies Needed:
Epsom Salt
Water
1 Quart Ball Jar with Lid & Band

Procedure:

1. Fill the ball jar 2/3 full with water.
2. Add Epsom Salt.
3. Fasten lid and band on jar and shake well.
4. Over a 24 hour period, keep adding epsom salt and shaking well until a permanent layer of salt resides on the bottom of the jar.  This means that the solution is completely saturated and no more salt can dissolve in the water.
5. Pour off the liquid into another container, leaving the layer of salt that will not dissolve. Your solution is now ready to use!

Thank you for your question Brandi. You would use the solution to process feces for examination under a microscope to check for parasites. You can read more about it here http://www.twinwillowsfarm.net/home--blog/how-to-run-a-fecal-exam
