SPLENDID WHITEWASH FOR ALL INDOOR PURPOSES 



To Yi bushel of unslacked lime add sufficient 

 boiling water to slack it, and cover it to keep in 

 the steam. Mix together one peck of salt pre-' 

 viously dissolved in warm water, 2 pounds of glue 

 dissolved in 3 quarts of water, 6 ounces of bichro- 

 mate of potash, and y^ pound of whiting. Add 

 these to the lime, stir well, strain, and apply hot, 

 either with a brush or a spray pump. Add water 

 to thin the mixture so as not to clog the nozzle. 

 A bushel of lime makes 30 gallons of whitewash. 

 Light coats frequently applied are better than 

 heavy ones. While still wet, a light coat may seem 

 to have failed in its object, but when dry it becomes 

 beautifully white.
