bushel OF lime. Slack it by pouring water
over it boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity
to cover it five inches deep, and stir it brisk.

OF a lump of iron black. For fawn color add
four pounds lumber, one pound of Indian red,
and ono pound common lampblack. For
stone color add two pounds lampblsck.
