To Mix White-wash.

Pour a kettle of boiling water on a peck of unslaked lime, put in two
pounds of whiting, and half a pint of salt, when all are mixed together,
put in half an ounce of _Prussian blue,_ finely powdered, add water to
make it a proper thickness to put on a wall.


White-wash for Buildings or Fences.

Put in a barrel, one bushel of best unslaked 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, when
stir it up; thin it with milk as you use it, and put half a pint of salt
to each bucket full. This makes a durable wash for a rough-cast or frame
house, or for fences; the salt prevents it from peeling off.
