To make paint without white lead & oil Take two quarts of skimmed milk, two ounces of fresh slacked lime and five pounds of whiting - put the lime into a stone ware vessel, pour upon it a sufficient quantity of milk to make a mixture resembling cream; the remainder of the milk is then to be added & lastly the whiting is to be crumbled & spread o the surface of the fluid in which it gradually sinks. At this period it must be well stirred in, or ground as you would other paint, & it is fit for use. You may add any colouring matter that suits your fancy. It is to be applied in the same manner as other paint & in a few hours it will become perfectly dry another coat may then be added & so on until the work is completed to your liking. This paint is of great tenacity & will admit of being rubbed hard even with a coarse woolen cloth.
