In commercial lime-sulphur it sinks to about specific gravity or 34 Baume. What- ever point it sinks to is spoken of as the reading or strength of the wash, and the greater llie number the mure tlie wash will stand to be diluted before using it on the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Caesar, Lawson, 1870-1952; Ontario.
