PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Wash for Cleaning the Plumage of Prize Poultry and
the like.
I, ALBERT VICTOR RUSHTON, of Boldmere House, Wylde Green, in the County
of Stafford, Brewer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has for its object an improved wash for cleaning the plumage of
prize poultry and the like which enables the feathers and plumage of poultry
and birds to be readily and quickly cleansed and brought to their natural state
of perfection.
In making my wash I dissolve carbonate of potash and oleate of lead com-
monly known as lead plaster in methylated spirits in the proportions of say 1 lb.
of carbonate of potash and 2 lbs. of lead plaster to 6 pints of methylated spirits
after which I filter the liquid through a blotting paper or other such filter to
remove the sediment.
For washing purposes the liquid is then mixed with water in the proportion
of say half a pint of liquid to 2 gallons of water and is then ready for washing
purposes.
Although I have so far found the above best suited to my purpose I do not
confine myself to the exact proportions and I may substitute carbonate of soda
for the carbonate of potash in which case I should increase the proportion of
carbonate of soda used.
