LIME WATER. Mrs. E. B. Lynde, Milwaukee. One of the most useful agents of household economy, if rightly understood, is lime water. Its mode of prepa- ration is as follows : Put a stone of fresh unslacked lime about the size of a half-peck measure into a large stone jar or unpainted pail, and pour over it slowly and care- fully, (so as not to slacken too rapidly,) a teakettle full (four gallons,) of hot water

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
