odors,
or
they
will,
to
a
considerable
extent,
in-
jure
their
proposed
contents.
Take,
owing
to
a
greater
or
less
extent
of
the
fetor,
from
a
half
to
one
glass
of
sulphuric
acid,
and
pour
into
the
barrel
and
bung
down
tightly,
and
roll
the
barrel
in
such a
manner
that
the acid
will
reach
all
parts
of
the
in-
side
of the
barrel.
The
acid
can be decanted
and
kept
for
future
use.
Recollect
to
rinse
out
the
bar-
rel
first
with
pure
water
before
the
acid
is
used.
Another
mode
is
to
smear
or
saturate
strips
of
cot-
ton
fabric
with
sulphur,
rendered
fluid
by
heat.
Ai-
tach
the
end
of
one
of
these
pieces
to
the
under
part
of
the
bung,
ignite
the
opposite
end,
put
it
in
the
barrel,
and
bung
tightly.
The
manufacturer
should
pay
the
strictest
atten-
tion
to
the
manner
in
which
all
of
his
brands
and
stencil
patterns
are
executed.
Neatness,
correct
proportion,
and
delicacy
of
touch
should
characterize
the
mechanical
portion
of
them
;
and
where
instances
may
arise
that
the
heads
should
be
painted,
nothing
but
the
prettiest
colors
should
be
used.
A
few
ex-
amples
are
offered.
They
can
be
adapted
to
suit
convenience.
A
beautiful
rose
pink
or
peach
blos-
som
can
be
made
by
adding
equal
proportions
of
vermilion
and
drop
lake,
well
ground
together,
to
white
lead,
until
the
shade
sought
is
produced.
Paris
green,
mixed
with
turpentine
and
oil,
is
the
