WHITEWAsH FOR HEN-HOUSEs
Formula Given BY Poultry Manager Of
Central Experiment Station At "a
Ottawa, Canada.

5ge z N.a s = I
i A. G. Gilbert, poultry manager Of the
Central Experiment Station at Ottawa,
Canada, says durable and lasting
whitewash may be made as follows:
Put into water-tight, clean barrel
half bushel Of unslaked lime. Shake
the lime to a depth OF five inches.
Stir briskly until slaked. Add two
pounds Of sulphate OF zinc and two
pounds Of salt dissolved in hot wa.
ter. s55
II These ingredients will prevent the
wash from cracking or peeling on. It
is better to apply the whitewash
while hot. II to be used for inside Of
poultry-house, colony houses or coops,
add half an ounce Of carbolic acid.
To color the whitewash, add yellow
ochre. venetian red or any other de-
sired color.
