nutes; then dip the goods three-fourths of an hour;
take them out and add to the dye two and one-half pounds fustic; boil
ten minutes, and dip the goods three-fourths of an hour; then add blue
vitriol one ounce, copperas four ounces; dip again one-half hour. If
not dark enough add more copperas.

_Another Method--Any Shade:_--Boil the goods in a mordant of alum two
parts, copperas three parts; then rinse them through a bath of madder.
The tint depends on the relative proportions of the copperas and alum;
the more copperas, the darker the dye; joint weight of both should not
be more than one-eighth of weight of goods. Mixtures of reds and
yellows with blues and blacks, or simple dyes, will make any shade.

_Orange:_--For five pounds of goods, muriate of tin six
tablespoonfuls, argol four ounces; boil and dip one hour and add again
to the dye one teacupful of madder; dip again one-half hour.
Cochineal, about two ounces, in place of madder, makes a much brighter
color.

_Purple:_--For each pound of goods, two ounces of cudbear; rinse the
goods well in soap-suds, then dissolve cudbear in hot suds--not quite
boiling, and soak the goods until of required color. The color is
brightened by rinsing in alum water.

_Yellow--Rich:_--Work five pounds of goods one-half hour in a boiling
bath with three ounces bichromate of potassa and two ounces alum; lift
and expose till well cooled and drained; then work one-half hour in
another bath with five pounds of fustic. Wash out and dry.

_Crimson:_--Work for one hour in a bath with one pound cochineal
paste, six ounces of dry cochineal, one pound of tartar, one pint of
protochloride of tin. Wash out and dry.

_Salmon:_--For each pound of goods, one-fourth pound of annotto,
one-fourth pound of soap; rinse the goods well in warm water, put them
into mixture and boil one-half hour. Shade will be according to the
amount of annotto.

_Dove and Slate Colors of All Shades:_--Boil in an iron vessel a
teacupful of black tea with a teaspoonful of copperas and sufficient
water. Dilute till you get the shade wanted.

COTTON GOODS.

_Black:_--For five pounds of goods, boil them in a decoction of three
pounds of sumach one-half hour and steep twelve hours; dip in
lime-water one-half hour; take out and let them drip one hour, run
them through the lime-water again fifteen minutes. Make a new dye with
two and one-half pounds log-wood (boiled one hour) and dip again
three hours; add bichromat
