The Method of Mixing the Ingredients for the suldued 

 Green. 



First, pour six gallons of lime water into a large tub, 

 then throw in 112 pounds of whiting; stir it "round well 

 with a stirrer, let it settle for about an hour, and stir it 

 again. Now you may put in the 1 12 pounds of road dirt, 

 mix it well, then add the blue black, after which the vellow 

 ochre, and, when all is tolerably blended, take it out of the 

 tub and put it on a large board or platform, and with a la- 

 bourer's shovel mix and work it about as thuy do mortar. 

 Now add the wet blue, which must be previously ground in 

 the incorporated oil (as it will not grind or mix with any 

 other oil). When this is added to the mass, you may begin 

 to thin it with the incorporated oil in the proportion of one 

 quart to every eight pounds, and then the linseed oil in the 

 same proportion, and it is ready to be put into casks for 

 use.
