8. Lime-Sulfur Wash {for Summer Use). 



Fresh stone lime, 8 pounds. 

 Flowers of sulphur, 8 pounds. 

 Water, 50 gallons. 



Place the lime in a barrel and add enough water to almost 

 cover it. When it begins to slake sprinkle in the sulfur through 

 a sieve, to break up any lumps present. Stir constantly and 

 add water as needed to form a thick paste, and then gradually 

 thin to a thin paste. The mixture should boil for several 

 minutes. When well slaked add enough water to cool it; strain 

 into the pump, add the rest of the water and spray. Do not 

 let the mixture remain hot for more than five minutes after the 

 boiling stops. The best action of the lime is obtained when 

 larger amounts than those above are used, hence make up 

 three or four times this formula at one time, if that much will 

 be needed. In straining, take out the coarse particles of lime, 

 but work the sulfur through the strainer. 



9. Miscible (Soluble) Oils. 



These oils can be made by the user, but require so much 

 time and trouble to prepare that it is in most cases better to 

 buy them. Several good brands are on the market, but they 

 should generally be used stronger than the directions call for. 

 One part of the oil thoroughly mixed with from 12 to 14 parts 

 of water is about the best strength to use. 



10. Carbolic Acid Emulsion. 



Hard soap, shaved fine, 1 pound. 



Water, 1 gallon. 



Crude carbolic acid, 1 pint. 



Dissolve the soap in boiling water; add the carbolic acid 

 and churn with a spray pump, as described for kerosene emul- 

 sion, until the materials are thoroughly mixed and do not 

 separate on standing. Dilute 1 part of this with 30 parts of 

 water for use.
