 solution should be good, fresh stone lime. Under no conditions 

 should air-slaked lime be used, as the heat generated by the 

 slaking is all that is used in cooking the sulphur. The lime 

 should be placed in the bottom of a barrel and enough water 

 added to start slaking. The sulphur should then be rubbed 

 through a sieve onto the lime and the whole stirred to prevent 

 it from burning. Water should be added from time to time to 

 continue the slaking process, care being taken not to add 

 enough water to "drown" the lime. After slaking has ceased, 

 the barrel should be covered to conserve the heat for about 15
