Seite 130 - This elegant cement is made by mixing rice flour intimately with cold water, and then gently boiling it. It is beautifully white, and dries almost transparent. Papers pasted together by means of this cement will sooner separate in their own substance than at the joining, which makes it extremely useful in the preparation of curious paper articles, as tea-trays, ladies' dressing-boxes, and other articles which require layers of paper to be cemented together.
Seite 318 - Put into a glazed earthen vessel four ounces and a half of gum-arabic, and eight ounces, or half a pint (wine measure) of cold spring water ; when the gum is dissolved, stir in seven ounces of gum-mastic, which has been washed, dried, picked, and beaten fine.
Seite 131 - ... or ammoniacum, which must be rubbed or ground till they are dissolved. Then mix the whole with a sufficient heat. Keep the glue in a phial closely stopped, and when it is to be used set the phial in boiling water.
Seite 260 - To increase the Growth in Trees. It may be depended upon as a fact, that by occasionally washing the stems of trees, their growth will be greatly increased : for several recent experiments have proved that all the ingredients of vegetation united, which are received from the roots, stem, branches, and leaves, of a mossy and dirty tree, do not produce half the increase either in wood or fruit, that another gains whose stem is clean. It is clearly obvious that proper nourishment cannot be received...
Seite 270 - If the autumn should prove very dry, they will require frequent watering. When peas are sown before winter, or early in spring, they are very apt to be eaten by mice. To prevent this, soak the peas for a day or two in train oil before you sow them, which will encourage their vegetation, and render them so obnoxious to the mice, that they will not eat them.

Seite 82 - ... of carbonate of soda, are then to be mixed together, and filtered, and the liquid in this thin state, is to be laid on with a soft brush. This process is repeated, and, in a short interval afterwards, the wood possesses the external appearance we have described.
Seite 167 - The quantity proposed to be made use of, either for toasts or melting, must be put into a bowl filled with boiling water, and when the butter is melted, skim it quite off; by this method it is so separated from any gross particles, that it may require a small addition of salt, which may be put into the cold water that is made use of in melting butter for sauce ; and though the butter is oiled by hot water, it becomes a fine cream in the boiling for sauce.
Seite 194 - ... but nowise blackened or burned in any way. Put this into a common deep stone or china jug, and pour over it, from the tea-kettle, as much clean boiling water as you wish to make into drink. Much depends on the water being actually in a boiling state. Cover the jug with a saucer or plate, and let the drink cool until it be quite cold ; it is then fit to be used. The fresher it is made the better, and of course the more agreeable.
Seite 89 - ... yards the line is to be pegged down to the ground, and so left ready to take them. The time to use this is when the ground is covered with snow, and the larks are to be allured to it by some white oats scattered all the way among the nooses.
