Whitewash
Slake the lime in boiling water, and to 3 gallons of whitewash add 1 pint of molasses and 1 pint of salt, well stirred when adding the ingredients. Good for fences and out-door buildings. An excellent fire-proof whitewash is made by adding to every 5 parts of whitewash 1 part of potash. Soak glue, 1/4 pound, over night in tepid water; on the next day place it in a tin vessel with water 1 quart; boil, and stir till the glue dissolves. Next put 7 pounds Paris white (sulphate of baryta) into another vessel, add hot water, and stir until it becomes milky. Add the sizing, stir well, and apply with a kalsominer's fine brush. This is nearly equal to kalsomine made from zinc-white. See LIME; ZINC-WHITE.
