briskly 7 turns, then a turn every 5 minutes; commence boiling and continue boiling 90 

 minutes, take out, rinse the yarn in cold water; bring up a kettle of hot water to 1 10 de- 

 grees of heat, and put in 5 or 6 pails of urine; handle until blue enough. Pearlash will also 

 blue the colour.

50 pounds weight. 



Boil up 6^4 lbs. of the best lac dye, 3 lbs. of cream of tartar, and 3 lbs. of red tartar; 

 boil 20 minutes; cool the liquor; boil up 8 oz. of quer-citron bark with the other drugs; 

 then put in 6 pints of No. 1 Lac Spirit ; enter the yarn ; turn as usual ; bring the kettle 

 to a boil, and continue boiling one hour. Rinse very well in cold water.

Bring the kettle to 1 10 degrees of heat, and put in 8 ozs. of sulphuric acid; use about 

 a pint of sulphate of indigo; rake up the kettle; enter the yarn; do not allow the heat to

50 pounds weight. 



Boil 20 lbs. of camwood for 20 minutes; cool the kettle, and put in 1 lb. of oil of vitriol; 

 enter the goods; turn in the usual way; bring the kettle to a boil, and continue boiling 

 and turning the yarn one hour ; take it out, and rinse well in cold water. Bring in another 

 kettle of hot water; put in 9 lbs. of copperas; enter the goods; bring on the kettle to a

Pattern 41. Scarlet. 



50 pounds weight of yarn. 



Boil up 3 lbs. of cochineal, well ground and sifted; 6 lbs. of cream of tartar; and 1 lb. of

 goods ; turn briskly 7 turns, then a turn every 5 minutes. Bring the kettle to a boil, and
