take a fufEcient quantity of fair water, half a pound of log-
wood, a quarter of a pound of brafil ground ; then let them
boil well, adding fome urine; then enter the cloth, and han-
dle it, and let it boil a quarter of an hour; cool it and wafli it
well.

To dye woollen a clove Brown. Boil three pounds of alum,
and two pounds of tartar in a copper ; then put in the fluff,
boil it two hours ; then take it out, and put in, together, five
pounds of madder, and a pint of wheat bran, ftirring the liquor
three quarters of an hour, till it is boiling hot; then draw off
the water, putting in frefti water, and put in a pound of galls
and the cloth, which boil for an hour ; then take it out again,
and put three pounds of copperas into the kettle, and then put
in the fluff again, and Air it about till it is fufRciently dyed;
then rinfe it.

To dye a la/ling and neat purple Brown. Firfl dye cloth (for
flight fluffs will not bear the price of this dye) a blue, either
light or dark, according as you would have the colour; then
boil it, firfl, either with galls and madder, or with galls only j
and after that with copperas.

When it has been well boiled with madder, or with copperas
and madder, or with galls alone, if it be perfectly finifhed, it
will not take any {tain from wine, vinegar, or urine.

On the contrary, all colours dyed with wood ; as, for exam-
ple, the red or the blue, in which brafil has been ufed, will take
ftains from the weakeft acids, which will caufe in them a very
vifible change. Indeed, yellow wood is a fort of exception to
this general rule, for its dye does'not change fo foon.

To dye barleyJlraiv, He. Brown. Take a fufficient quan-
tity of lixivium, Indian wood ground, green fhells of walnuts,
of each half a pound ; let the ffraw fteep four or five days in a
gentle heat, and then take them out.

green fhells of walnuts, dry them in the fun, and boil them in
nut oil ; and rub the wood with this oil.
