three parts,
air-flacked lime, two of wood alnCTnd
one of fine farid ; fift them through a
fine sieve,: and add as much linseed oil
as will bring the mixture to the consis
tence of paint, so as to be laid on with
a brush. Great care must be taken to
mix the ingredients perfectly. I be
lieve grinding them as paint in oil,would
be an improvement. Two coats are ne
cessary ; the firft rather thin, the se
cond as thick as can be worked. It will
improve in hardness by time. It is
impenetrable by water. It is much
cheaper than paint and more dura

Cheap method of preventing the difogreeable smell of
Privies
In some houses, privies, when badly placed
and ill taken car- of, diffufe an odour as incon
venient as unhealthiul ; but the means of reme
dying this evil is exceedingly easy, if a certain
quantity of milk of lime (water in which lime bas
been diffolvel and whitened by e the fine particles of
that substance) be mixed with the ley of afes, or
soapy water that has been used for wafting, be thrown
into tbejink of the privy, it will deftrov the offinfvg
smell. By these means, for the value of a few pence,
any collection of filth whatever may be neutralized.
By the fame proccfs, conveniences for sick per
sons may be kept in their apartments. No
thing is necessary but to have a tub covered a a
feat . five or fix pounds of quick lime, a small
quantity of ashes, and two buckets of water
thrown into the tub, will prevent any disagreea
ble odour.
It may readily, be conceived that the fame
process may be employed in regard to a night
chair. The fecal matter, after being thus neu
tralized is an excellent manure for land.
