CHLORIDE OF LIME
FOR THE ASH PIT

The ash pit is a wei known Colo
rado institution. While very useful,
it may, when carelessly used. become
decided nuisance. Not all ash pits
are so constructed as to be fly proof.
Too often they become most excellent
breeding places for flies on account
of refuse thrown in which is not
buried in ashes or properly burned.
When neglected in this way an ash
pit becomes most unsanitary. An ex-
cellent practice is to scatter a hand
ful of dry chloride of lime over the
garbage each time any is put in If
the walls of the ash pit are regularly
flushed or sprinkled with ''hypochlor-
lite" solution, in addition to the use
of the dry chloride of lime. one has
as nearly a sanitary ash pit as one
could wish. This solution, like the
dry powder, is a most satisfactory
disinfectant for many things in town
and on the farm. 1t is prepared as
follows: Mix one-half pound of chlor-
ide of lime with one pint of water.
stir with a stick for fifteen minutes.
then add enough water to make one
gallon. Next dissolve thirteen ounces
of sa lsoda crystals or five ounces of
soda ash in two quarts of lukewarm
water, then add enough water to make
one gallon. Mix these two solutions
and allow the milky mixture to set
tie over night; pour off the clear Ii
quid into jugs or bottles and keep in
cool. dark place. Use one-half pint
of this clear solution to five gallons
of water for general disinfecting
purposes. Chloride of lime is not
the same as the calcium chloride of
commerce. Other names for chloride
Of lime are bleaching powder, bleach.
and hypochlorite OF lime. 1t costs
