The day following, the PREPARATORY PROCESSES. 75 same wets may be redipped, when they will be of a pretty full colour — bring the heat up as the night before, after stirring, and when the vat is stirred at nine o'clock, give it one quarter- peck of lime. The day following, the vat must be renewed. First bring the heat up to 155°, not above 165° Fahrenheit ; when brought to the requisite heat, put in half a hundred of woad, chopped fine as before, half a peck of bran, four pounds of madder, and ...twelve pounds of indigo, well ground ; stir well after these things are added, and again at nine o'clock in the evening. The next morning it should be yellow in the liquor, have a thick copper scum on the surface, and the bead of a fine purple and very rich. Stir again at five o'clock the following morning, which repeat at noon and again in the evening ; at the last stirring, add two quarter-pecks of lime. It will now bear working and replenishing regularly. When constantly working, it will, so long as woad is added, require two quarter-pecks of lime after each replenishing, and from two to three during each period of working.
