A GOOD WHITE WASH FOR COW SHEDS.
Those who have to frequently white wash their cow sheds should try the use of a sprayer. One pound of lime, a little blue, and one pound of whiting' to the gallon of water makes an excellent white wash. Roughly strained and sprayed upon the walls it is a great saving of labour. A nozzle which is easily cleaned must be used, but there is one on the market by which a jet of liquid is cut by a sharp edge, causing it to spread in the form of a rough spray. This cut off is turned easily by a thumb screw, and any obstruction can be forced through and the spray replaced by another turn. The addition to the mixture of some disinfectant fluid would ensure the destruction of deleterious germs.
