Lime and Sulphur Dip
Ingredients
Directions
Slake the lime with enough water to make a thin paste.
Stir in the sulphur.
Boil the mixture with 25 to 30 gallons of water for two hours.
Pour the liquid into a vessel and allow the sediment to settle.
Draw off the liquid into the dipping vat without disturbing the sediment.
Add water to make a total of 100 gallons.
Use the preparation while warm.
