 the blue, to mix chalk with the alum mortUnt, lu order to 

 ncutraUie the adhering acid, before the yeUow *s g'vcn. 



Or the fubjeft may be dyed green at one operation, by 

 boiling it for a little time in a mixture of the blue and y-e.low 

 liduors. I'or this p'^rpofe the cloth is iir'.l alumed arid well 

 riiifed ; and the cloth is then dyed in a ftroug decoaion or 

 fuilic, to which, when cooled to a blood heat, is added lul- 

 phat of indigo. Dr. Bancroft recommends for dyeing a 

 beautiful Sa.Kon green, the following expeditious proce -•, 

 by ufuvrtlie compound alum and tin mordant ; put into tlie 

 boiler ifx or-eight pounds of quercitron bark to every one 

 hiy.drcd pounds of cloth ; boll witli a fufficient quantity ot 

 water ; then add fix pounds of the murio-fulphat of tin, (m 

 preference to the nitro-muriat,) and four pounds of alum : 

 when thefe have boiled five or (\:i minutes, lower the heat 

 with cold water to blood-warm, after which, add as much 

 fulphat of indigo as may be thought necedary tor the intend- 

 ed depth of colour, and then dye the cloth in thisbatii with 

 proper care. Aikin's Diift. 



Bv combining any blue and yellow dyes, in different pro- 

 portions, all the fliades of green may be produced, Irom

Greek Crop, in JlgrldilluTc, th.it fert wlilch is formed 

 of iome kind of green vegetable ; fuch as that of fome fort 

 of artificial grafs, the turnip, cabbage, tare, rape, &c. wluch; 

 are fo termed in contradillinftion to thofe of the grain de- 

 fcription. The introduction of crops of this nature between 

 thole of the grain kind, has conllitutcd one of the moil im- 

 portant improvements in mjjdern agriculture. By tin's 

 means, land has not only been prevented fi-om being exhaufled 

 and worn out, but brought into the moll proper condition 

 for the growth of grain, without undergoing the injurious 

 procefs of naked or fuinmer fdlowing. It has likewife had 

 the effect of greatly increafing the number, and improving 

 the quantity of all forts of live flock, in confequence of their 

 having more abundant fupplics of food, and thefe at the 

 fame time of better qualities. There can therefore be no 

 doubt of the great advantage of thefe crops, which ftould of 

 courfebe grown as extcnfively as poffible by the farmer, as 

 by them he may be enabled to fupport jnuch larger (locks of 

 cattle and fheep than could otherwife be the cafe, and at the 

 fame time raife much larger quantities of good maiiurr.
