When the lime begins to crack and crumble and the water to disappear, add another quart or more, exer- cising care that the lime at no time gets too dry. Toward the last, considerable water will be required, but if added carefully and slowly, a perfectly smootii paste will be obtained, pro^vided, of course, the lime is of good quality. When the lime is slacked, add sufficient water to the paste to bring the whole up to twenty-five gallons. When the copper sulphate is entirely. Fig. 3.âMaking Bordeaux mixture. Pouring together the lime milk and copper sulphate solution. â¢dissolved and the lime is cool, pour the lime milk and copper sulphate solution slowly together into a barrel holding fifty gal- lons, as shown in Fig. 3. The milk of lime should be thoroughly stirred before pouring. The method described ensures good mixing, but to complete this work the barrel of liquid should receive a final stirring, for at least three minutes, with a broad â wooden paddle. "It is now necessary to determine whether the mixture is perfectâthat is, if it will be safe to apply it to tender foliage. To accomplish this, two simple tests may be used. First insert the blade of a penknife in the mixture, allowing it to.
