Directions
Put in a barrel one bushel of best unslacked lime ; pour on it two buckets of boiling water ; and when it is mixed, put in six pounds of fine whiting ; fill up the barrel with water : stir it well and keep it covered from the rain ; let it stand several days before you use it ; then stir it up ; thin it with milk as you use it, and put one-half a pint of salt to each bucketful. This makes a durable wash for a rcingh cast or frame house, or for fences ; the salt prevents it from peeling off. 146
