2. The lower the amount of magnesium oxide in the lime used the 

 higher will be the per cent of sulfur in solution, other things being 

 equal. 



3. An approximate analysis of the lime should be secured and such 

 an amount used so that there shall be one half as much calcium oxide 

 as sulfur. 



4. When the solutions are made according to the formulae recom- 

 mended above, there is no advantage to be gained in filtering the solution 

 before storing. 



5. The re-heating of the lime-sulfur solutions before using is not 

 necessary. The increase in soluble sulfur is not sufiScient to pay the 

 cost of such an operation.
