This was prepared in the usual method by first slaking the 
lime to a thin whitewash, and then adding the sulphur and the 
salt. These ingredients were distributed thoroughly in the white- 
wash and the mixture boiled from one to two hours.

This wash was cooked without the direct use of external heat. 
First, the sulphur was made into a paste with hot water and was 
then emptied into a barrel containing forty pounds of lime, which 
was started to slake with twelve gallons of boiling water. During 
the slaking process, the barrel was covered to prevent the loss of 
heat. Occasionally the wash was stirred to secure a more uniform 
distribution of the sulphur in the whitewash. In twenty minutes 
after the time that the lime first commenced to slake, enough boil- 
ing water was added to make the required sixty gallons of mix- 
ture; after which the salt was added and stirred until dissolved. 
The wash was then strained and applied hot.

gallons of water; and, as soon as the slaking commenced the 
sulphur, which had just previously been made into a thin paste 
with hot water, was added and thoroughly mixed in with the 
slaking lime, To prolong the boiling of the wash, the caustic
